For the club run off a phone.
The under 11s side, the Sunday league team, the club run by three parents and a group chat. No gate, no crowd, no budget, and the same job as everybody else: get the children registered, get the subs in and get a squad out on Saturday. The Full Squad does the admin so the volunteers can watch the football.
The four jobs that eat the week
A grassroots club does not need a broadcast suite. It needs the forms, the money and the Saturday to stop taking an evening each. These are the four that do, sorted the same way for every club on the platform.
Register the squad once, then it is done
Sign-on morning is a folder of paper forms, a WhatsApp full of half-answers and one person typing it all up twice. Here a parent fills their child in once, from a phone, and the details, the consents and the emergency contact land in one place that the whole committee can see.
- Parents register from a phone, no printing and no forms to chase
- Consents and emergency contacts held against the child, not on a clipboard
- One squad list the manager, the secretary and the treasurer all see
- A child who moves up an age group is never re-typed
Subs and match fees that collect themselves
The who-has-not-paid spreadsheet is the worst job at the club, and it always lands on the person who least wants to have the awkward chat. Set the subs once and they come in on their own, with the reminders going out for you rather than from you.
- Set subs once and let them collect on a schedule
- Reminders send themselves, so nobody has to chase a tenner at the touchline
- The treasurer sees who is paid and who is not, at a glance
- Money lands straight in the club's own account
The week sorted by Thursday
Availability by Thursday means a manager picks a squad on Thursday, not at half nine on a Saturday counting heads in a car park. Ask once, and who is playing, who needs a lift and who has the kit is answered in one place instead of forty messages.
- Ask availability once, see the answers in one list
- Kick-off, pitch and meeting time in the same place every week
- Message the parents of one age group without swapping phone numbers
- Nobody left reading back through a chat to find the postcode
Safe with children, on every plan
A junior club is trusted with children and their details, and that is not a feature to charge extra for. Consents are recorded against the version the parent agreed to, contact with under 18s runs through the club rather than around it, and the safeguarding basics are built in rather than bolted on.
- Safeguarding built in on every plan, never held back for a higher tier
- Consents recorded against the exact version a parent agreed to
- Adult contact with under 18s runs through the club, on the record
- Access limited to the volunteers who actually need it
Built by people who have done the job.
Most club software is designed for a full-time administrator who does not exist at this level. This one starts from the parent who took the job because nobody else put their hand up.
Registration, subs, availability and safeguarding in one place, so a volunteer is not stitching together a form builder, a spreadsheet and three group chats to run a team.
The safeguarding depth does not sit behind a higher tier. A club paying the least is trusted with children exactly the same as a club paying the most.
The timescale is deliberate. Clubs run on trust, children's data and other people's money, and none of that should be rushed to hit a launch date.
Get the season back.
Leave an email and you'll get first look as it takes shape, and first pick of a place when the doors open. The whole point is to hand the volunteers their evenings back, so the club can get on with the football.
Every plan carries a public site, the full registration depth and the safeguarding basics. The three published prices say exactly what each one adds on top.
