Sports club management without five separate spreadsheets
Member lists in one spreadsheet, the roster in another, volunteers on a whiteboard and communication in a chat nobody reads. AthletiLink brings member management, roster management and messaging into a single view you can open on your phone at the side of the pitch.
What clubs get free
- Public club page players can find in search
- Player directory filtered by sport, position and location
- Squad and group messaging with attachments
- Tryout, fixture and fundraiser posts
- Roster views with profiles and measurables
Member management that stays current
The reason club member lists rot is that one person owns them. When a player changes number, position or availability, the update never reaches the file.
On AthletiLink each member maintains their own profile. Your member list is a view over live profiles, not a snapshot from the start of the season.
- Live member profiles with sport, position, age group and contact preferences
- Roster views by squad, age group or position
- Availability and status visible before you pick a matchday squad
- Message an individual, a position group or the whole squad
Roster management for selection day
Selection is easier when everything that decides it sits on one screen: position, recent form posted to the feed, measurables and availability.
Because profiles carry film and verified numbers, you can also justify selection to players and parents with evidence rather than opinion — which is where most club disputes actually start.
Volunteers are members too
Every amateur club runs on volunteers: matchday stewards, kit, transport, the person who always brings the first-aid bag. They deserve the same directory entry as players.
Add volunteers as members with their role, keep them in the same message threads for fixtures they cover, and you stop losing helpers to the group chat they were never added to.
Step by step
- 01
Invite your members
Share your club page link; players and volunteers create a profile and appear in your member list.
- 02
Build the rosters
Group members by squad, age group or position so selection and communication are one click away.
- 03
Set the comms rhythm
One weekly announcement, one matchday thread. Predictable communication is read; ad-hoc communication is ignored.
- 04
Review each season
Use the directory to see who has drifted, who has stepped up, and where the squad is thin before recruitment starts again.
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep member data private?
Yes. Sensitive contact details are never exposed to anonymous visitors — only signed-in members you connect with can reach you, and public pages show sporting information only.
Does it handle membership fees?
AthletiLink does not process club fees. Link your existing payment provider from your club page and event posts so members pay through the system you already reconcile.
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.
