If your club runs on volunteers, parents and a group chat that never goes quiet, you do not need an enterprise system. You need something small that handles orders, payments, new members and player feedback, and that a tired treasurer can learn in ten minutes.
Most sports clubs in the world are small, amateur and run by people who do it next to a job and a family. Their administration is not complicated, but it is relentless. Every season someone has to order kits, chase payments, add new players, answer “which size am I?” and keep the whole thing from collapsing when the one organised volunteer moves away.
Big club-management suites tend to assume a paid administrator. dodgehub assumes the opposite: nobody is paid, nobody has time and everything should be obvious. It was built in a dodgeball club, but nothing in it is specific to dodgeball, so football, handball, volleyball, athletics and youth clubs can use it in the same way.
Orders for parents, players and supporters
Training shirts, hoodies, ball packs, fundraiser merchandise: any item you sell in rounds works as an order session with a start and end date. Players or parents order inside the club workspace, and relatives who are not members can order through a private guest link without an account.
That matters especially in youth sports, where the person ordering is often a parent and the person wearing the shirt is a child. A text field for the name on the shirt, a size dropdown with a size chart and a required flag mean the order arrives complete the first time. Read more about the club shop.
Payments without becoming the debt collector
Collecting money from parents and members is the part of club admin nobody enjoys. With dodgehub, the order shows its payment state, your bank transfer or PayPal instructions are displayed at checkout and the buyer can report that they have paid. A manager verifies the payment against the bank account.
When the session is over, one click sends a reminder to everyone who still owes. dodgehub does not process payments, so your club's money stays in your club's account. See how it works under collecting member payments.
New members, approved on your terms
A join link or code lets new members register themselves. If your club wants to know who is joining, which is common when children are involved, switch on staff approval, and each newcomer stays pending until a manager accepts them. Until then they cannot see club activity or place orders.
Roles are simple: one owner, managers who run the shop and members who order. When the volunteer who started it all steps back, ownership can be transferred to someone else.
Development and feedback, with care
For clubs that want to give players structured feedback, the optional player progress tracker lets a small committee score players per category and publish written feedback. It can be switched off for the club, members can be hidden from the roster and the club decides whether players see their own results.
If you work with minors or collect personal data, take your own club's and country's rules into account when you decide who can see what. dodgehub gives you the visibility switches, and the decisions stay with you. The terms and privacy pages describe what the platform does with data.
Made for handovers
Volunteer clubs lose knowledge when people move on. Because orders, payments and evaluations live in one tool with clear roles, a new treasurer can see the history instead of inheriting a spreadsheet nobody understands. The app works in English, German, French and Spanish, in light and dark mode and on any phone with a browser.
Free, small and honest
dodgehub is free for clubs, built by one person and focused on a narrow job. There is no sales team and no contract. Browse everything the app can do on the features overview.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work for youth clubs where parents order?
Yes. Parents can join as members or order through a guest link, and the order fields (name on the shirt, size, colour) make sure the order is complete.
Do we need to be a dodgeball club?
No. dodgehub was built in a dodgeball club, but its shop, payment tracking, team directory and progress tracker work for any small sports club.
