How Clubside Helps

Everything you need to run your soccer program — from registration to game day.

Soccer-Specific Registration

Custom fields for positions, skill level, previous club experience, and preferred foot, all built into the registration form.

Flexible Payments

Collect registration fees at sign-up. Send separate invoices for tournaments, uniforms, or training camps. All through Stripe.

Calendar & Scheduling

Schedule practices and games. Parents RSVP from their phone. Coaches see attendance at a glance.

Guardian on Every Registration

Clubside runs in youth mode, so a parent or guardian signs the waiver and pays for each player. One family can register more than one player without starting over.

Why Soccer Clubs Outgrow Group Chats

A soccer club is never just one team. A single club might field U8 through U19 sides in the fall, run the same age groups again in spring, and carry a men's or coed adult rec division on the side. Each side has its own coach, its own fee, and its own tryout and placement process, and players move between teams as they develop.

That is a lot to track in a group chat and a spreadsheet. Registrations arrive by text, email, and Facebook message. Tryout results live in a coach's notebook. Uniform orders depend on kit sizes someone collected months ago. And the treasurer is still chasing a handful of families for fees the week before the season starts.

Clubside replaces the patchwork with one system. Parents register players online, land on the right team the moment you approve them, and carry their position, preferred foot, and kit size with them. You run every age group and every season from a single dashboard instead of a folder full of spreadsheets.

How Soccer Registration Works

When you create a soccer club, Clubside builds a registration form around the fields soccer uses. A player selects a primary position, whether goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, or forward, notes a preferred foot, lists a skill or competitive level, and can add previous club experience so coaches have context before tryouts. Kit and jersey size feed straight into your uniform order. You can add, remove, or reorder any field from your settings, so if you also track a jersey number, a secondary position, or a birth-year division, you add it once and every family sees it.

Give each team its own registration link. Run separate links for each age group and division so a family signing up a U10 player only sees the team they belong on. For competitive programs, point players at a tryout registration first, then move accepted players into the paid team registration once placements are set. Rec divisions can open a single link and let players sign up straight through.

The form takes about five minutes on a phone, and the details you collect flow straight into your rosters and your season planning.

If Your Club Also Runs an Adult Rec Division

Start with the part most software pages leave out. Clubside is built for youth organizations, where a guardian registers a player. There is no adult self-registration mode in the product today. Adult divisions are a direction we are working toward, not a shipped feature, and you should hear that from us rather than find it out after signup.

What clubs do instead: one organizer registers the rec division roster, or each player registers themselves through the standard flow. The registration form is editable field by field, so you can drop the questions that only make sense for a minor. It is a workaround, it works, and it is not the same as software designed for an adult league.

Everything underneath the form runs the same either way. Each division gets its own registration link and its own fee, coaches and captains get logins scoped to the roster they are responsible for, and money moves from the payer straight to your club bank account.

Registration Fees, Kits, and Training Camps

Soccer stacks up costs across a season: the base registration fee, a kit or uniform order, tournament entries, and optional training camps or clinics. Clubside collects the registration fee at sign-up through Stripe, so registering and paying happen together. Everything else runs through invoices. Bill a whole team for a weekend tournament, collect a kit deposit, or charge for a summer training camp, and families pay online with a card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

Your dashboard tracks who has paid and who still owes on every charge, so you know a team is fully funded before you commit to a tournament entry. Money moves directly from the payer to your club's bank account through your connected Stripe account, and Clubside never holds your funds. Card processing is the standard published Stripe rate of 2.9% plus $0.30, paid straight to Stripe on your own account, with no markup and every platform fee published.

Once players are on a roster, schedule practices and games so families RSVP from their phones and coaches see attendance at a glance.

Communication runs through the same dashboard. Email a single team about a field change or the whole club about a registration deadline, so you are not copying phone numbers into a group text or hoping a Facebook post reaches everyone in time. And when one season rolls into the next, returning players carry their history, payments, and signed waivers forward, so a family that played in the fall is a few clicks from your spring roster instead of a blank form. That continuity is what lets a volunteer board run U8 through U19 across two seasons a year without the annual scramble of rebuilding every list, every fee, and every uniform order from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I collect position and preferred foot at registration?

Yes. A soccer club starts with fields for primary position, preferred foot, skill level, previous club experience, and kit or jersey size built into the registration form. You can add, remove, or reorder any field from your admin settings, including a jersey number, a secondary position, or a birth-year division.

Can one club run both youth teams and an adult rec division?

Both live on one dashboard, but be clear on what you are getting. Clubside is built for youth organizations, and there is no adult self-registration mode today. Your youth teams run in youth mode with a parent or guardian on every registration. For a rec division, one organizer registers the roster or each player completes the standard flow, and you edit the form down to drop the fields that only make sense for a minor. It works, and it is a workaround.

How do I handle tryouts and team placements?

Point players at a tryout registration first, then move accepted players into the paid team registration once placements are set. You can collect previous club experience and skill level on the form so coaches have context before tryouts, and each team gets its own link so players only see the team they are placed on.

Can I collect tournament and training camp fees separately?

Yes. Registration fees are collected at sign-up, and everything else runs through invoices. Bill a team for a weekend tournament, collect a kit deposit, or charge for a training camp or clinic. Families pay online through Stripe, and your dashboard tracks who has paid on each charge.

Does Clubside handle multiple seasons like fall and spring?

Yes. You can run fall and spring programs from one organization, with their own teams and registration forms for each season. Player registration history, payments, and waivers carry forward, so returning families are a few clicks from next season instead of starting over.

Is the free plan enough for a small soccer club?

For many small clubs, yes. The free Starter plan includes one team and up to 25 players with full online registration, payment collection, waivers, and coach dashboards, and no credit card is required. When you outgrow it, the Club plan is $49/month for up to 15 teams and Pro is $99/month for up to 50 teams.
