What it is
SportMember is a club administration platform for organizing sports activities, member records, fees, websites, shops, and ticketing. Its website builder provides ready-made pages and a click-and-edit editor, with calendars and news synced from SportMember; no coding is needed. New members can sign up through the club website, and their details are added to the SportMember system. Other tools include a team app, attendance tracking, booking, team chat, and a lineup builder. The calendar can synchronize with Outlook, iCal, and Google calendars. Widgets are available to connect an existing site, including one built with WordPress or Wix. SportMember is available on Android, iPhone, and computer browsers. The Basic plan is free and includes a club website, but payment transactions incur £0,35 + 1% of the paid amount. PRO costs £0.16 per user/month, with a £22.00 monthly minimum; VAT and administration fee are excluded. SportMember says member data is stored in the EU with access limited by role, and payments processed through its system are PCI Level 1 certified.

The review
SportMember is an all-in-one administration service for sports clubs, combining member records, activities, payments and a public-facing website. It suits clubs that want registrations and day-to-day coordination tied to one database, especially when several teams or club services must work together. The free entry plan is useful for independent organizers, while larger or less self-sufficient clubs should examine the paid minimum and support terms carefully.
Overview
SportMember covers the operational core of a club: a member database, membership fees, calendars, attendance, booking, ticketing, a webshop, team communication and lineup creation. Roster management, schedule publishing and standings tools make it relevant to organized competitions rather than only informal groups. The breadth can replace a collection of separate systems, but a single team seeking only fixtures or a simple site may find the wider platform unnecessary.
Its website builder supplies ready-made pages and a click-and-edit editor, with calendar and news content synchronized from the club account. Prospective members can register on the site and have their information added to SportMember automatically, reducing duplicate data entry. Clubs retaining a WordPress or Wix site can connect through widgets. Calendar synchronization with Outlook, iCal and Google helps staff and families keep schedules in their usual calendars.
Key features
- Club administration: Fees, member records, attendance, booking, tickets and webshop functions sit alongside team chat and a lineup builder. This is a strong fit for clubs wanting one operating system, not for organizations that need a narrowly focused tool.
- Web and registration: The no-code editor and automatic online sign-up create a direct path from public information to an organized membership record. A custom domain is supported.
- Integrations: Widgets extend SportMember into an existing WordPress or Wix website, while personal-calendar synchronization supports Outlook, iCal and Google. The Basic plan cannot add these options.
- Security and privacy: SportMember states that it is GDPR compliant, stores member data in the EU and restricts access by role. Its June 2026 processing agreement places production servers at Hetzner in Germany, with encrypted backups in AWS Ireland; both providers are ISO/IEC 27001-certified. Payments are PCI Level 1 certified, and SportMember says it does not store bank information.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | £0.00 per free | No monthly subscription; payment transactions cost £0,35 + 1% of the paid amount. Includes a free club solution and website. It is intended for self-reliant clubs with few needs, has no phone support or add-on options, and can be upgraded. |
| PRO | £0.16 per user/month; minimum £22.00 per month | All SportMember features, support calls, onboarding and data-import assistance. Membership payments cost £0,35 + 1% of the paid amount. VAT and an administration fee are excluded. |
| Widgets add-on | £10/month | Connects SportMember widgets to an existing site; VAT excluded. |
| CMS/Premium Website add-on | £25/month | Adds the premium club website; VAT excluded. |
Basic keeps recurring cost at zero, but transaction charges, the absence of phone help and the inability to add options matter for clubs that process payments or need a more tailored web presence. PRO's per-user rate looks modest at small scale, yet its £22 monthly minimum makes it a commitment even for a limited roster. PRO is the practical choice when phone, email and WhatsApp support, onboarding or data migration justify a paid plan.
Platforms
SportMember provides native iPhone and Android apps and works in a computer web browser. That combination covers members and organizers who switch between mobile and desktop administration.
Who it's for
It is aimed at federations, clubs, teams, players and parents. Choose it when a club needs registration, scheduling, payments and public information connected to the same records. It is less compelling for a team wanting only a basic website, or for organizers unwilling to manage a platform themselves on Basic.
Pros and cons
- Pro: Website sign-ups flow into the member system automatically, limiting re-keying.
- Pro: Administration spans fees, attendance, booking, tickets, commerce and communications in one service.
- Pro: EU storage, role-based access and stated PCI Level 1 payment handling address common club data concerns.
- Con: Basic charges every payment and excludes phone support and add-ons.
- Con: PRO has a £22 monthly minimum, with VAT and an administration fee on top.
- Con: Clubs needing widgets or a premium website must budget for separate monthly add-ons.
Alternatives

- Competize is a freemium Android, iOS, web and API option focused on tournament management; its free Friends plan covers one competition.
- EasyChamp suits competition organizers wanting a free plan with unlimited competitions and players, capped at eight teams per competition.
- Pitchero is worth considering for a single team: its free plan covers one team but has no payment processing and includes third-party advertising.
- TeamPages targets teams preferring a free single-team tier or a Starter plan for up to four Pro teams.
- Waresport Website Builder is a website-led alternative with a free subdomain plan and a Team tier for up to 75 athletes.
- Wooter offers a free organization-management plan with seasons, teams, paid registration and mass messaging.

- Sports Connect may suit existing partners eligible for a zero-dollar monthly subscription while they process registrations on the platform.
Verdict
Choose SportMember if your club wants administration, online registration and a club website joined in one system, with mobile apps and a free starting point. Look elsewhere if you only need a lightweight team site, cannot justify PRO's £22 minimum, or require paid-plan support and add-ons without extra charges.
