ClubApp.The club app built for cricket.

One app for the whole club: who's available, who's playing, what's happening and what's owed, on every member's phone. Built by Spark Systems for Ampfield & North Baddesley Cricket Club.

ClubApp on three phones: Home with what's coming up, picking the team, and the duty rota

From WhatsApp polls to one club app

Ampfield & North Baddesley Cricket Club, "the Amps", fields men's, ladies' and junior cricket. Like most clubs, it ran on goodwill and group chats: a WhatsApp poll for who's free on Saturday, another for the team, an online form for registration, bank transfers for subs, and captains, coaches and the treasurer chasing people one by one.

Nothing on the market quite fitted the way the club works, so the club asked us to build one that does. The result is ClubApp: one place for players, parents, captains, coaches and the committee.

Why not Spond or Teamo?

Spond and Teamo are good apps, built for every sport and thousands of clubs, so a club fits around them. The Amps wanted an app that fits around the club: all the Saturday sides picking from one pool at the same selection meeting, teas and the duty rota, nets booking, the club's own look, and its own rules for juniors. So we built one.

What it does

Built around how a cricket club actually runs, from the Saturday selection meeting to the bar rota.

ClubApp Home: Coming up, with a Can you play? question and Available and Not available buttons

Can you play? In one tap

Members answer Available or Not available in one tap, with a note if they need one. Holiday dates answer for them, parents answer for their juniors, and reminders go out before the deadline, so captains stop chasing.

Picking the team: the 1st XI and 2nd XI pick from one pool, with reserve and keeper buttons

Every side, one pool

On a busy Saturday every captain picks from the same pool of available players, with reserves and a wicketkeeper marked. Publish the team and every player picked hears straight away, and changes are flagged.

A fixture: date, meet time, ground, directions, parking and kit, with Delayed and Game off buttons

Match day sorted

Where, directions, parking, kit, meet time, teas and who's captain. If the weather turns, a captain marks the game delayed or off and everyone involved sees it at once.

The Feed: a status update and a pinned announcement from the captain

Chat that's built for a club

Club, section and team groups, pinned announcements, polls, photos and @mentions, with safeguarding built in: no private messaging between adults and under-18s, and juniors' details never shown to other members.

My fees: membership and a match fee to pay, one overdue, with a Pay by card button

Fees without the chasing

Membership, match fees and event tickets in one place. Members see what they owe, overdue fees are flagged on their Home screen, and they can pay by card in the app. The treasurer can see who has paid.

The rota: teas, umpire and scorer for Saturday's home game, with I'll do it and Add a note

Teas, umpiring, scoring and the bar

Members sign up for a job in a tap, add a note if they need to, and are reminded the day before. Captains see what's still to fill.

And the rest of club life

Everything else that used to live in forms, spreadsheets and someone's inbox.

Registration, done once

The season's membership form, filled in on a phone in a few minutes and saved as you go. Next season it comes back filled in, and health and emergency details are shown only to the people who need them.

Coming up, at a glance

Home shows each member what's next, soonest first, with a "Needs you" list so nothing waiting on them gets missed. Each member can lay it out the way they like.

Nets

Book a lane, or join an open session.

Events

RSVP for dinners and socials, with guests and tickets.

Stats and more

Club stats and leaderboards from Play-Cricket, a digital membership card, kit, volunteering and club documents.

Made for everyone at the club

Works on any phone and on a computer, installs to the home screen like an app, sends notifications for what matters, has a dark mode, and works with screen readers and larger text.

On a computer too

Captains, coaches and the committee get the full picture on a bigger screen: availability on one side, match day details on the other.
