27 problems sports clubs bring us, each with the cause, what it costs and what we build to fix it.
Community sports clubs chase parents for junior subs by WhatsApp and bank transfer. We set up collection that handles siblings and instalments quietly.
Amateur sports clubs collect match fees in cash on the day, with IOUs and missing notes. We set up match fee collection tied to the team sheet.
When a sports club fixture is moved or called off, the fixture secretary texts everyone by hand. We build one fixture list that tells the right people.
Sports clubs that hire council pitches and 3G slots lose track of bookings, invoices and clashes. We build a hire log that matches bookings to bills.
Junior sports club sections squeeze many home games onto a few pitches, and the plan lives in one volunteer's head. We build a grid that allocates slots fairly.
When the clocks change, a sports club's teams fight over a few floodlit or 3G training slots. We build a training rota that shares them fairly and tracks costs.
Sports club captains chase players all week to find out who can play on Saturday. We set up availability and selection across all your teams.
Volunteer welfare officers at sports clubs cannot see which parent helpers are cleared or whose renewals are due. We build a status list with reminders.
Junior sports club sections struggle to book referees for every home game and pay them in cash on the day. We build a referee booking and payment log for clubs.
Sports clubs lean on the same few volunteers for teas, gate, bar and line marking. We build a matchday rota that spreads jobs fairly and fills gaps early.
Sports clubs collect junior registration, photo consent and medical forms on paper each season and lose them. We build online forms with each consent kept.
Sports club coaches need players' emergency contacts at away grounds with no signal. We build a secure matchday list that works offline.
Sports club secretaries chase players and parents for photos and details to register with the league before the deadline. We build a registration tracker.
Sports club kit orders mean a spreadsheet of sizes, chasing payments and hoodies nobody collects. We set up kit ordering with payment taken up front.
Sports clubs lose local business sponsors because boards, shirt logos and renewal dates live in one volunteer's head. We build a sponsor list for renewals.
Sports club bars run by volunteers can't match takings to stock, and nobody knows why. We connect your till, stock counts and deliveries so gaps show.
Sports clubs hiring out the clubhouse for parties juggle enquiries, deposits and clashes with matchdays. We build a hire calendar with deposits.
Sports clubs start each season unsure which adults are playing, social or vice-president members, or who has paid. We set up season renewal by category.
When a sports club treasurer or secretary steps down, passwords, files and know-how leave with them. We set up club-owned accounts and a handover record.
Sports club grant applications and reports ask for participation figures the club never recorded. We set up simple attendance and member data that answers them.
Sports clubs hosting a junior festival juggle team entries, fees, schedules and changes on the day. We build entries, payments and a live schedule.
Sports clubs run on dozens of team WhatsApp groups, and important messages from the committee still get missed. We set up club messaging people actually read.
Popular sports clubs keep junior waiting lists in coaches' phones and lose families. We build a fair waiting list with taster session invites and clear updates.
Sports club presentation nights mean chasing ticket money, collecting award winners from coaches and engraving trophies in a rush. We set up one simple flow.
Sports clubs record injuries and incidents in a paper accident book, if at all, and cannot find them later. We build a phone form that records them properly.
Sports clubs pick up league fines when captains forget to submit results and match cards on time. We set up reminders and a pitch-side submission.
Sports club equipment goes missing between teams and first aid kits run empty. We set up a simple equipment register with QR tags, checks and restock requests.
