Run your football club without the admin headache
You got into grassroots football to coach kids, not to spend Sunday evenings chasing subs and managing five WhatsApp groups. ClubPlaces gives your football club proper management tools — player records, fee collection, match organisation, parent communications — and you can try it free for 30 days.
We understand grassroots football
Grassroots football clubs are run by volunteers who'd rather be on the pitch than behind a laptop. Between managing age groups, collecting monthly subs, coordinating match-day availability, and dealing with the endless WhatsApp chaos, the admin can feel like a full-time job. It shouldn't be.
WhatsApp isn't a management tool
Important messages get buried under memes and thumbs-up emojis. Match cancellations go unread. New parents never get added to the right group. There has to be a better way.
Monthly subs are a nightmare
Some parents pay by bank transfer, some hand over cash, and some promise to "sort it next week." Keeping track of who's paid across multiple teams is a treasurer's worst nightmare.
Match day availability guessing
Trying to work out who's available for Saturday's match by counting WhatsApp replies? Half the parents never respond, and the other half reply to the wrong message.
Teams and age groups, properly organised
Whether you run a single under-10s team or a full club with age groups from under-7s to adults, ClubPlaces keeps every team organised. Each team gets its own player list, and players can move between age groups as they grow up. Coaches see only their team; the club secretary sees everything.
- Create teams by age group, gender, or ability level
- Track FA registration numbers and medical details
- Coaches can manage their own team from any device
- Move players between teams as they progress
Collect subs without the Sunday morning chase
Set up monthly subs, match fees, tournament levies, or kit payments and let parents pay online. No more awkward conversations on the touchline about late payments, and no more treasurer spreadsheets that don't add up. You can see at a glance who's paid and who hasn't.
- Set different fees for different teams and payment types
- Parents pay via a simple link — no app required
- Money goes directly to your club's bank account via Stripe
- 1.5% ClubPlaces platform fee + Stripe's standard processing fees apply — see pricing
Training sessions and match days, sorted
Create recurring training sessions and one-off match events. Parents can confirm availability through a simple link, so you know exactly who's turning up before you leave the house. No more "sorry, didn't see the message" excuses.
- Set up training sessions with times, locations, and details
- Create match events with opposition, venue, and meeting times
- Collect availability confirmations from parents online
- Send session cancellation notices to the right team instantly
Replace the WhatsApp chaos
Send targeted emails to specific teams, all parents, or just the coaches. Important announcements don't get lost in a sea of GIFs. Parents receive professional-looking emails from your club, and you can see who's opened them. It's the communication upgrade your club has been needing.
- Email specific teams, age groups, or the entire club
- Professional emails that don't end up in spam
- Parents can update their own contact details
- Family accounts — one login for parents with multiple children
Built for clubs with multiple teams
Whether you're a single team run by a parent-coach or a chartered standard club with twenty age groups, ClubPlaces scales with you. Give coaches access to manage their own team while the club secretary and treasurer have oversight of everything.
