One database, not five lists

A member database the club can actually trust

Most clubs still run on a spreadsheet that one volunteer owns, a payment app nobody reconciles and three chat groups. SportMember replaces all of it with a single member database: every profile, team, role, parent link and membership fee in one record. Update it once and the change follows the member through the calendar, the club payments and the team app.

  • Every member in one record – contact details, team and role
  • Members and parents keep their own details up to date
  • Linked to membership fees, attendance and communication
  • Fully GDPR compliant, with data stored in the EU
Member records per team in the SportMember web admin, with a row for every member
Features

What the membership management software does

Built for the people who actually keep the club running – secretaries, treasurers and coaches.

Member records

One profile per member, kept current by the member

Each member, parent or player has their own profile with address, phone number, email and emergency contact. They log in and edit it themselves, so the club database stays accurate without anyone chasing people for new details. New members join through a sign-up link or an online form and land straight in the right team.

  • Members and parents edit their own details
  • Sign-up link and online forms for new members
  • Import an existing list when you set the club up

Roles and access

Coaches, treasurers and the board see what they should

Access follows the role. A coach manages their own team, a treasurer works with fees and payments, and the board keeps the full club overview. One person can hold several roles from a single profile, so nobody needs a second login – and no one gets a list of the whole club just to run one squad.

  • One profile, several roles across the club
  • Coaches manage their own team, not the whole club
  • Board and secretary keep the full overview

Fees and communication

The same database collects the money and sends the message

Because fees are attached to member records, you can see who has paid and who has not without exporting anything. The same list is what you message: send an email, a push notification or an SMS to one team, one age group or everyone who still owes. Attendance and statistics read from the same records, so nothing is typed twice.

  • Paid and outstanding visible per member
  • Message a team, an age group or the whole club
  • Feeds the attendance tracker automatically

GDPR without the folder

Member data is stored in the EU, members control their own personal data, and access is limited by role. No spreadsheet on a private laptop.

Parent profiles included

Under-18 members are linked to a parent profile, so messages, consents and fee reminders reach the adult who needs to act on them.

Bring your existing list

Import the member list you already have, or invite everyone by link and let them fill in the details. Onboarding and import help come with the PRO plan.

Why clubs run their members on SportMember

The member database is not a separate product bolted on the side. It is the layer everything else reads from – the app, the calendar, the fees, the attendance and the messages all use the same records.

That is why the free Basic plan is genuinely usable: the database, the roles and the fee handling are all in it. PRO is there for the clubs that outgrow it.

For club administrators

Choosing membership management software — answered

Direct answers to what club secretaries and treasurers ask before they move off the spreadsheet.

What is membership management software?

Membership management software is the system a club uses to store and maintain its member records: contact details, teams, roles, parent links, consents and membership fees. Instead of a spreadsheet that one volunteer owns, the data sits in one place that the whole committee can reach.

In SportMember that database is the foundation the rest of the club runs on. The training schedule in the club calendar, the fee collection, the attendance records and the messages all read from the same member records, so a change made once applies everywhere.

What is the best membership management software for a sports club?

The best system for a sports club is the one where the member database, the payments and the communication are the same product. Clubs that buy them separately end up reconciling three lists by hand, which is exactly the work they were trying to remove.

SportMember is used by more than 46,000 clubs and rates 4.3 out of 5 on Capterra. The member database, roles, parent profiles and fee handling are all in the free Basic plan, so a club can test the full workflow before deciding whether it needs PRO.

How much does club membership software cost in the UK?

SportMember has two plans. Basic costs £0 per member per month and includes the member database, roles, parent profiles, fee management and basic communication. PRO is charged per member per month with a £22 monthly minimum, and adds custom profile fields, member history, departments, full calendar and booking, onboarding help and an ad-free system. All prices exclude VAT.

A club website and web widgets are optional add-ons on either plan, and card payments carry an administration fee.

Can we move our existing member list into the system?

Yes. You can import the list you already keep when you create the club, or send members a sign-up link and let them enter their own details — which also gives you consent and up-to-date contact information from day one. Data import assistance and onboarding are included in the PRO plan.

Most clubs are set up within a day. Members receive a welcome email, click the link, complete their profile and are ready to use the app.
