Rugby clubs

One club, nine age groups

Minis on a Sunday morning, colts on a Wednesday, two senior sides and a vets team. One membership list, one set of subs, and one place the whole club looks.

A rugby club is not one club, it is a dozen of them

A grassroots rugby club runs minis from under sixes upward, a colts side, one or two senior XVs, often a womens team and a vets side, each with its own coaches, its own training night, and its own WhatsApp group. Generic club software assumes one membership list and one fixture list, so the club ends up running a spreadsheet per age group just to keep them apart.

ClubPal treats each group as its own thing without splitting the club in two. Age groups are membership packages with their own price and their own eligibility rules, so an under twelve cannot be sold a senior membership and a lapsed player cannot renew on a returner rate. Training nights are sessions with their own capacity, coach, and register.

The money works the same way. Annual subs renew themselves, match fees and tour contributions are taken at the point of booking rather than collected in the clubhouse, and the treasurer sees the whole position in one dashboard instead of reconstructing it from bank transfers referenced "SUBS".

Age groups that police themselves
Eligibility rules use date of birth, so a player moving up an age band buys the right membership without anyone on the committee checking the register.
Subs and match fees in one place
Annual subs renew automatically and match fees are taken at booking, so the treasurer stops chasing and starts reconciling nothing.
Pitches and the clubhouse
Let out pitches and function rooms to other clubs and events, with peak pricing and automated reminders, on the same system.
The multi-team problem
Most club software makes you choose between one big list and a dozen small ones
What usually happens

A club with nine age groups either runs one membership list that cannot express the differences, or nine spreadsheets that nobody reconciles.

One price for everyone, or manual exceptions
A separate group chat per team, none of them official
Subs chased by whoever is most persistent
How ClubPal handles it

Age groups are packages inside one club, so the club keeps a single membership list while each team keeps its own rules.

Per-package pricing, renewal dates, and eligibility
A session and register per team, per training night
One treasurer view across every age group

Built for how a rugby club actually runs

Minis to vets on one list
Every age group as its own package with its own price, renewal date, and eligibility rules, all inside one club membership list.
Training nights with a register
Recurring sessions per age group, with capacity and a register a coach can mark on a phone at the side of the pitch.
Consent and medical forms
Collect parental consent, medical notes, and photography permissions as custom fields or forms, and export them when the club needs them.
Message one age group
Email the under fourteens about a fixture change without messaging the whole club, with GDPR-compliant tooling built in.
Kit, tour, and clubhouse orders
Run a kit order with sizes as variations, take tour deposits, and close the order when the supplier deadline hits.
A club website included
Fixtures, news, and contact details on a site the club actually controls, at no extra cost on any account.
