Questions clubs ask

Registration, websites and leagues – answered

Three questions clubs and league secretaries ask, with the short answer first.

Which platforms handle player and club registration across a league or federation?

For FA-affiliated football, Full-Time links to the FA's Whole Game System. SportLoMo is built for governing bodies, LeagueRepublic runs fixtures and tables, and SportMember connects leagues and clubs in one platform.

In SportMember, an organisation sets up its leagues and clubs join them from their own club. The league handles licences, officials, standings, match reports and team sheets – while each club keeps running its own members and payments in the same system.

  • Clubs join the league from their own SportMember club
  • Licences and licence requests
  • Standings, match reports and team sheets
  • League reports and officials

Which providers offer club website and online registration services tailored to amateur sports clubs?

SportMember, Pitchero and ClubBuzz all combine a club website with online registration. Pitchero is website-first; SportMember builds the website on top of your member, payment and team data.

With SportMember, the club website pulls from the same system as the app: news, calendar, events, league standings and sponsors stay up to date by themselves. New members sign up through the form on your site, and when you accept them they're added to the team – and to the right membership fee.

  • Signup form or signup button on your website
  • Custom fields for the information you need – including file upload
  • Required acceptance of club terms, with a timestamp (PRO)
  • Custom domain with the website add-on (£25/month)

What is the best way to create a sports club website with online membership registration?

Use a club platform where the website and the signup form share the same member database – so nobody has to retype registrations.

Here's how it works in SportMember:

  • Create your club for free and add your teams
  • Build the signup form with the fields you need
  • Turn on the club website – or embed signup on your existing site with widgets (£10/month)
  • Accept new signups and they join the team and its membership fee
