Why Pitchero

12 reasons why your sports club should join Pitchero.

1. Make your volunteers happy

First and most important - Pitchero will help the essential volunteers who run your club.

We provide sports club volunteers with easy-to-use templates which will save them hours of time, remove frustration and stress, and give them quick access to the information they need.

A great club is not run by one person, but by lots of volunteers working together. Pitchero is a platform which all volunteers can use - allowing work to be shared, making big jobs small jobs.

2. Increase club revenue

Pitchero research shows, when a club registers members online and collects payments online, they collect more payments. The average increase is 30%!!

Why? Because officials can quickly see who has and has not paid. The non-payer can be reminded to pay with an email and missed payments quickly reduced.

By using Pitchero to collect your membership payments, your club could collect 30% more revenue. Wow!

This leaves just one question - how will you spend the extra cash?

3. Improve club management

IT computer systems are common in all workplaces and the home - so why not your club?

Pitchero provides time-saving sports club management tools for: registering players, managing membership data, collecting payments, organising fixtures, posting club news and much more.

Stop using notebooks, Excel spreadsheets, endless emails and broken WhatsApp groups.

4. Recruit new players

When a player or parent searches for a new club - they will start with a Google search. Plus, they are most likely to be searching using a mobile phone, not a desktop website.

What will that potential member be looking for?

  • A modern club with lots of recent activity.
  • Up-to-date match content - fixtures, match results and league tables.
  • Team information - player profiles and training times.
  • Team manager contact details - email address and mobile phone number.
  • A smart professional website, which works great on a small mobile screen.
  • An area to register online and pay membership fees.

A Pitchero website answers all of these questions and more.

We can make your club stand out from the rest - with a smart professional website, packed with recent content, match information, contact details and online registration.

5. Recruit new volunteers

Volunteers are the lifeblood of your club. They make things happen - organise matches, register players, raise money and so much more.

A member is more likely to volunteer if they have the tools to make their job efficient and enjoyable.

Pitchero can offer new volunteers a modern, easy-to-use system for all administration tasks. They can access the control panel 24/7, filter data, collect payments, post news and edit fixtures, to name a few...

Follow simple user guides, online videos and templates. All this from any laptop, tablet or smartphone. 

Your club will attract more volunteers with a Pitchero club website.

9. New updates every month

Pitchero employs a team of developers and product designers. They push new upgrades live every month and these updates are mostly free and part of your exciting package.

We constantly work to make Pitchero better. Listening carefully to feedback from club officials so that we can build a product to make your club easier to run and more successful.

 

10. Don't put all your eggs in one basket

Some clubs rely on just one person to manage their website and IT. But what happens if that person leaves the club? Or loses a computer, memory stick or deletes an important file?

At Pitchero, we encourage all clubs to provide multiple admin access; this ensures the responsibility of your IT is not placed on one person but shared across the committee. 

Whatever happens - your committee will always have access to your website, content and data.

Plus, with Amazon hosting your site, content and data is always backed up and secure.

When you join Pitchero, our security gives you peace of mind.

 

11. Amateur sport is all we do

Pitchero has one goal - to unite the world of grassroots sport online. 

We do not build technology for anyone else. You are our number one customer. 

We focus on your unique requirements, we understand how a sports club is managed by volunteers and the different pressures this brings - on time and skills.

We understand who you are better than anyone else.

No one knows grassroots sport better than Pitchero.

12. Incredible value for money

We understand your club finances are tight and the money raised is prioritised to help your members access sport. That’s why we have a broad business reducing the direct costs to your club.

Pitchero makes money through advertising, package fees and payment transactions. These three revenue streams mean we keep the up-front cost of Pitchero very low.

On average, Pitchero clubs will pay less than £10 per week in software fees. This includes membership management and payment tools, website builder template, mobile apps and unlimited hosting. There's also a 30-day no-obligation free trial!
