Free Coach App for Team Management and Club Administration

SportMember is a free app for coaches that makes team and club management easy. You can create activities, send messages, handle registrations, and track attendance – all from your phone. The app is free to download and use for both coaches and players.

What can a coach app help with?

A coach app consolidates all team administration in one place. Instead of juggling between SMS, email, spreadsheets, and social media groups, you have one tool for everything. It saves time, reduces errors, and makes communication with players and parents much easier.

Key features for coaches:

• Activity calendar: Create trainings, matches, and events with automatic reminders
• Registration system: See who's coming, who's declined, and who hasn't responded
• Messaging: Send push notifications, SMS, or email to the entire team
• Player overview: Contact info, roles, and statistics all in one place
• Team chat: Communicate directly with players and parents

Why choose SportMember as your coach app?

SportMember is one of Europe's most popular team management apps with hundreds of thousands of users. The app is free and designed specifically for sports clubs and associations. You don't need any technical knowledge to get started.

Free for everyone

SportMember is free to use – for coaches, players, and parents alike. There are no hidden fees or forced upgrades. You can manage your team without paying anything.

Easy setup

You can create your team in under 5 minutes. Invite players via SMS or email, and they can sign up directly in the app. No complicated setup or IT expertise required.

Full club integration

If your team is part of a club, you can connect to the club's structure. This gives access to shared calendars, cross-team communication, and central administration. Club managers can see across all teams.

How team management works in the app

As a coach, you have full control over your team directly from the app:

1. Create activities: Add training, match, or social event with time, location, and description
2. Receive registrations: Players respond yes, no, or maybe directly in the app
3. View attendance: Get an overview of who's coming and who hasn't responded
4. Send reminders: Nudge players who haven't responded with one tap
5. Communicate: Send messages, share files, or start a team chat

Everything happens automatically and in real-time. You no longer need to call around or track responses across different channels.

Club management for leaders and boards

SportMember isn't just for coaches. Club leaders and board members can use the app to manage the entire club. You get an overview of all teams, members, and activities across the organization.

• Shared calendar: See all club activities in one place
• Communication: Send messages to the entire club or selected groups
• Payments: Handle membership fees and activity charges (PRO feature)
