Grassroots sports clubs run on volunteers who spend evenings chasing subs, collecting match fees in cash and matching bank transfers. A payments app built for clubs, with regular subs and simple payment links, can save them hours. If you're involved in a league or coach several teams, you already know your first customers.
What clubs need
- Monthly or yearly subs collected automatically.
- Payment links for match fees, tournaments and kit.
- A list of who has paid and who hasn't.
- Easy reports for the treasurer and the annual meeting.
Reaching clubs
Leagues, county associations and coaches talk to many clubs at once. One happy treasurer who recommends you at a league meeting can bring in several clubs, so make it easy for them to share.
