Gathering its community around events and practices is a tough challenge! In this article, we outlined the main challenges of a sports club.
For most of you, training, coaching and managing are volunteering. This is why saving time and anticipating the unexpected is essential for you and your team. How to prepare training with exercises when only half of the expected squad is coming? Without any tools, this challenge may prove to be tough. Clubee’s new attendance tracker is a complete tool. Moreover, there is a new option called “Setup Training”. With the possibilities to Invite People, Assign Roles and View in Calendar, it increases your communication with your Club. It allows you to prepare the training according to the squad coming. This also means that all the statistics are available on Clubee to help you.
If I have a training session planned with Clubee I can see in advance that my forwards won’t be there. This allow us to prepare the training session in the best possible way!

A game is coming, and you know that you will have to make choices to create your starting squad. But these choices may be less easy to hear for the players left on the bench. And unfortunately, it is often necessary to explain this to parents who are also frustrated. The attendance tracker is a real way to make objective decisions. Namely, you will choose a player who came to all the last training as opposed to another who has only come once.
Having a clear attendance chart allows me to put the players in charge and face their responsibilities: if I have too many players on the day of the game, I can use this factual data to send those who have not trained to the stand. They will just have the right to keep quiet and come to the training afterwards. Said Angelo Vai, Rugby trainer, talking about Clubee.
A full complete organization of an event is sometimes a tough challenge. You need to assign who is bringing the food, the water, and the training equipment. However, these people can forget their tasks, and this can cause a lack in your organization. Clubee’s tracker allows you to respond to this problem. You can create different groups (players, staff, supporters…) to which you can address specific messages, missions, and events … Furthermore, you can assign roles with automatic reminders to people who didn’t reply to prevent any unpleasant surprises in due time.
Another one of the main challenges in a sports club presents right before the beginning of a new season. The large majority of the players are enjoying their holidays at 100 %. It is nothing problematic for the moment but this also means that the players didn’t train for several months. This is the cause of most injuries. However, we know that trainers favour physical preparation before the first games. Thus, by using Clubee’S tracker, you will be able to track and manage your training. Seeing the players who come to training in advance can help you to adapt to it. If more than half of them have not yet done a fitness session, then you may have to improvise one. It is an important highlight of this feature to be able to see the attendance statistics of each player at each training session
The first key point is to show your need and desire for volunteers. Indeed, they need to feel useful. Thanks to Clubee’s tool you can send them an invitation. Moreover, your volunteers will be more comfortable doing something they enjoy. It’s quite tricky to force someone to do something they don’t like. It may break their confidence and motivation. This is why the event’s tool has an option that allows them to choose their role. Namely, they will be able to assign their mission in the invitation (for example bartender, cashier, etc…).
Moreover, there are many challenges in a club, like finding enough players, managing finances, and dealing with scheduling events and games. Clubee is an excellent solution for all of these problems.
