Start Your Free Trial Online
Getting started with Sportify is now completely self-service — no demo booking required.
- Sign up in minutes — club administrators can start a free trial directly from the Sportify website. Fill in your details, create your organisation, and you’re in.
- Guided setup — once inside, the system walks you through creating your first club, adding teams, and inviting members step by step.
- No credit card needed — explore everything Sportify has to offer before committing to a plan.
Why this matters: New clubs can get started immediately. From sign-up to managing your first team in minutes — no waiting, no paperwork.
🔑
Sign In with Google or Facebook
Members can now log in using accounts they already have — no need to remember yet another password.
- Google sign-in — tap “Sign in with Google” and you’re logged in instantly using your existing Google account.
- Facebook sign-in — the same one-tap experience is available for Facebook users.
- Works alongside email login — members who prefer a traditional email and password can still use that. Social login is an option, not a requirement.
Why this matters: Fewer forgotten passwords, faster access. Parents on the sideline can check the schedule or confirm attendance in seconds without hunting for login details.
🏠
Member Joining & Onboarding
Control exactly how new members discover and join your club.
- Club discovery page — your club appears on a branded search page where parents can find you by name or join code.
- Join code and QR code — generate a unique code or QR from your club settings. Print it on a flyer, share it on WhatsApp — parents scan and they’re in.
- Registration wizard — walks parents through registering their child (or themselves), choosing a team, and previewing fees before submitting.
- Flexible join settings — choose whether your club accepts open sign-ups, requires approval, or is invite-only.
- Custom welcome message — set a personalised greeting that new members see when they join.
- Simplified sign-up — a mobile number is no longer required when creating an organisation or joining a club.
Why this matters: Every club onboards differently. Now you can match the system to your process, and parents do everything from their phone.
🏪
Club Store
Sell merchandise, kit, and other products directly through Sportify.
- Product catalogue — create categories, add products with variants like size and colour, and manage stock levels.
- Saved payment methods — members can save a card on file for faster checkout, and you can take one-off payments outside the normal billing cycle.
- Browse before signing in — visitors can add items to their cart before logging in. They only need an account when they’re ready to pay.
- Smart cart management — switching between organisations automatically clears the cart so orders never go to the wrong club.
Why this matters: No more third-party shop links or spreadsheet order tracking. Members buy from your club in one place, and you manage it alongside everything else.

Billing & Payments
Significant improvements to how clubs manage their finances.

Why this matters: Less time chasing money, more flexible pricing, and members can manage their own payment details. Billing that works the way your club needs it to.
🏅
Player Badges & Recognition
A brand-new way to recognise and motivate your players.
- Badge catalogue — create badge types with multiple tiers (for example, Bronze, Silver, Gold). Edit, archive, or revoke them at any time.

Why this matters: Keeps players engaged and gives coaches a structured way to recognise effort — not just match results. Great for retention and motivation.
🏆
Tournaments
Tournament management has received a major upgrade.
- Improved workflow — creating and managing tournaments is smoother from start to finish.
- Progress tracker — see at a glance how far through a tournament you are.

Why this matters: Coaches spend less time on admin and more time coaching. Match setup, attendance, and venue management all happen in fewer taps.
👪
Family Management
Managing parents and their children has been completely redesigned.
- Family units — guardians and players are now linked through a family unit, making it easy to manage households with multiple children in the club.
- Guardian access — parents can view their child’s profile, badges, memberships, and documents from their own login.
- Communication preferences — choose who receives notifications for each child in the family.
- Reorganised profile — Profile, Family, Memberships, and Badges are now grouped logically, making everything easier to find.
