Publish tryouts, fixtures and fundraisers where players will see them

Events clubs actually run

Club calendars are not only fixtures. Tryouts, open training, presentation nights, quiz nights, sponsored runs and kit collections all need publishing, reminding and following up.

Treat each as a post with a date, a location and a clear action, and you stop losing attendance to vagueness.

• Tryouts and open training sessions
• Fixtures and matchday information
• Fundraisers, sponsored events and socials
• Volunteer callouts for matchday roles
• Season launch and presentation nights

Fundraising and payments

AthletiLink does not sit between your club and its money. Link the payment or fundraising provider you already use from the event post so supporters pay in one tap and the funds land in your account directly.

Publishing the target and posting progress updates matters more than the payment rail. Fundraisers stall when they go quiet, not when the checkout is imperfect.

Marketing a local club event

Three touches beat one: announce three weeks out, remind a week out, remind the day before. Include the same practical details each time — date, time, ground, kit, cost, who to ask.

Post a photo or clip afterwards. Last month's event is next month's best advert, and it is the content most likely to make an undecided player turn up.

Step by step

1. 01

   Write one clear post

   Date, time, venue, who it's for, what to bring, what it costs. Ambiguity is the main cause of low turnout.

2. 02

   Publish publicly

   Post to the feed so local athletes searching your sport and area can find it, not just existing members.

3. 03

   Remind twice

   One week out and one day out. Attendance roughly doubles against a single announcement.

4. 04

   Follow up with proof

   Photos, results and a thank-you. It converts attendees into members and members into volunteers.
