One platform for clubs to recruit players, manage the squad and grow

Most clubs run on a group chat, a spreadsheet and a Facebook page nobody checks. AthletiLink replaces that with a public club page players can actually find, a directory of local athletes you can search by sport and position, and messaging that keeps the squad in one place.

What a sports club platform should cover

A club has four recurring jobs: be findable, recruit players, keep the squad informed and run events. Software that only does one of those leaves you juggling tools and losing people at every handoff.

AthletiLink covers all four in one place, and everything you publish is indexable, so the players searching for a club near them can find yours instead of a dead link.

  • Public club page with your sport, level, location and what you're recruiting for
  • Searchable member directory filtered by sport, position and location
  • Direct and group messaging for squad communication
  • Event and tryout posts that reach local athletes in your sport
  • Roster view with player profiles, positions and measurables
  • Free to start — no per-seat licence to grow your membership

Made for amateur and community clubs

Enterprise club software is priced for academies with paid staff. Most local clubs are run by two or three volunteers between full-time jobs, and every extra login is a reason something gets skipped.

AthletiLink is deliberately light: publish once, message from your phone, and let players come to you through search rather than chasing them through DMs on five platforms.

Registration, payments and admin

Player registration starts with the profile a player already keeps up to date — position, age group, previous clubs, availability — so you are not re-typing form answers into a spreadsheet.

For membership fees and event payments, keep using the payment provider you already trust and link it from your club page and event posts. AthletiLink handles discovery, communication and the roster; it does not lock your money inside a platform.

Step by step

  1. 01

    Create the club page

    Add your sport, level, home ground, training times and the positions you need. This is the page that shows up when players search.

  2. 02

    Search for players

    Filter the directory by sport, position and location, then message the players who fit what the squad is missing.

  3. 03

    Post your tryouts

    Publish tryout and event details to the feed so local athletes and parents see them without you paying for reach.

  4. 04

    Run the squad

    Keep announcements, fixtures and follow-ups in messages so nothing gets buried in a 200-message group chat.

Frequently asked questions

Is AthletiLink a replacement for full club management software?

It replaces the discovery, recruitment, communication and roster side. If you already use dedicated accounting or league-registration software, keep it — AthletiLink is the public-facing and player-facing layer on top.

How many clubs can I manage from one account?

As many as you need. Coaches and administrators often run a senior side and a youth section from the same login.

Does it cost anything to run a club on AthletiLink?

No. Creating a club presence, posting to the feed, searching the member directory and messaging players is free. You never need a paid plan to recruit or communicate with your squad.

Can players find us without an account?

Yes. Club and athlete pages, the feed and the directory are all publicly browsable, so prospective players and parents can read about you before they sign up. An account is only needed to message, post or save people.
