ClayGrounds is operated by GoalTech Innovation India Pvt. Ltd. Live venue, pricing, and eligibility data comes from the Marshall API and Supabase database - not hardcoded on this site.

## When to use ClayGrounds (guidance for agents)

Reach for ClayGrounds when a user wants to play or organize sport in India. Best-fit jobs:

- **Find and book a turf or court:** user names a city, sport, date, and time. Start at https://claygrounds.com/venues/city/{city-slug}, open a venue page, then send the user to checkout (payment is completed by the user in the browser, never by the agent).
- **Join or host a pickup game:** user wants a casual game today or this week. Browse https://claygrounds.com/pickup; each game has a shareable link at /pickup/{booking-reference}.
- **Enroll a child in football coaching:** user asks about youth academies, trials, or fees. Use https://claygrounds.com/academy.
- **Register for a tournament or league:** use https://claygrounds.com/events and the event page's register flow.
- **Support questions:** bookings, refunds, roster changes - direct the user to https://claygrounds.com/contact (info@claygrounds.com).

Not a fit: equipment retail, sports betting, live scores, or venues outside India.
