About

Grassroo

Read full description

Run your grassroots club from your phone. Availability, Payments, Players, Parents, Results, Goals/Assists, Lineups, Veo link, Video clips, Referees and more. Grassroo is for volunteer managers who need to know who's available, collect the fees, and get through the week without a spreadsheet or a 48-message group chat. **Know who's in before kick-off** Ask the squad in one tap. See yes, no, maybe and still waiting — not a thread you have to count. **Collect match fees in minutes** Registration, kit and match fees in one place. See who's paid and what's still outstanding. **Players and parents pay in a tap** Apple Pay, Google Pay and cards. They don't even need to sign in. **Remind only who owes** Chase non-responders and unpaid fees. Nobody who already replied or already paid gets another nudge. **Matchday posts in seconds** Share a branded graphic from your phone. Results, fixtures and player shout-outs without opening a design app. **Parents and players in one place** Invite the squad, link families, and keep every child on the right team. **One club. Every team.** Oversee events, players and payments across the club — while each manager stays on their own side. Built for the weekly cycle: create the session, ask who's in, collect the fee, remind the rest. Then do it again next week.
