Case Study: San Francisco Beach Volleyball boosts event planning and attendance with Heylo

San Francisco Beach Volleyball Paid Events Hold Everyone Accountable

San Francisco Beach Volleyball is a community built around beach volleyball in San Francisco, where co-leader Romain and his team needed a better way to organize growing events, manage registrations, and coordinate a large member base. Before using Heylo, they relied on a 200-person WhatsApp group, Meetup, and spreadsheets to estimate attendance and handle event sign-ups.

With Heylo, San Francisco Beach Volleyball was able to cap event capacity, collect upfront payments for clinics and tournaments, and use topics and real-time chat to organize pickup games and find extra players. The results were strong: their first paid event filled all 50 spots at $10 each, and 49 of 50 attendees showed up, helping reduce no-shows and giving the leadership team a more reliable way to plan and fund better events.
