Our Mission

"Make anywhere an arena"

At the community level, games are played on rivers, lakes, school ovals, courts, and pop-up venues. But even in permanent facilities, scoring infrastructure is often outdated, fragmented, or complicated. The result is the same everywhere: paper fallbacks, manual workarounds, and systems that break game flow.

My passion for Canoe Polo

Canoe Polo is a fast, five-a-side sport played on open water like rivers, lakes, and temporary pools. It uses suspended goals, strict timing, and penalty rules. I played for Australia at the World Championships in China, where even at that level, scoring infrastructure was still clunky, manual, and disconnected.

So I built a purpose-built scoreboard that could work in the hardest environments first. Portable. Reliable. Designed for real game pressure, not ideal conditions.

That became Arenachamp.

What we're building

Today, Arenachamp is two things: a fast, reliable mobile scoring app, and a dedicated hardware scoreboard that acts as a remote, visible extension of it. They work together, or independently, to make scoring simple and dependable wherever the game is played.

That's the foundation.

We’re intentionally starting narrow and building outward. As the platform matures, the same core is designed to support more. Additional products. Connected displays. Cloud-backed tools. New ways for games to be shared beyond the sideline. All without losing the simplicity that makes it work in the first place.
