Sports groups & communities
Spin up your sports community in minutes.
A group is your home base — your members, your events, your teams, and your money all in one place. Create one in a couple of taps, invite your regulars, and set who can do what.
Fast to create
Name it, pick a sport, and your group is live.
Members & roles
Invite players, promote admins, manage who can organize.
Plans & features
Choose a tier that unlocks wallets, simultaneous events, and more.
Make it yours
Add a crest and colors so your community feels like a club.
Create your group
Give your group a name and primary sport and you're up. It immediately becomes the container for events, teams, the player pool, and payments — everything downstream hangs off it.
- Pick a primary sport
- Auto-generated shareable group link
- Instant group homepage
Invite members and set roles
Share an invite link or add people directly. Promote trusted members to admin so they can organize events and score games, while everyone else follows along and joins in.
- Invite by link
- Admin vs member roles
- Follow requests and approvals
Pick the plan that fits
Tiers decide what your group can do — from running one event at a time to simultaneous events, wallets, and payment collection. Owners can toggle availability, and existing subscribers always keep what they've paid for.
- Transparent feature matrix
- Upgrade or downgrade anytime
- Hidden plans stay active for current subscribers
Who it’s for
Built for the people who run the game

A sports group management app that starts free
SportPadi is a free sports group management app for the way real communities actually run. Create a group, invite your players, and you immediately get member profiles, roles, event scheduling, attendance tracking and leaderboards — no spreadsheet, no payment card, no trial clock. The free plan covers casual crews comfortably, and when your group grows into ticketing, dues collection or a shared wallet, paid plans unlock the money tools on top of everything you already use.
Built for every kind of club
Whether you run a weekly 5-a-side crew, a Sunday-league football club, a padel ladder, a basketball run or a multi-sport social community, the structure is the same: one group page, its members, its events, and its history. Sports are configurable per event, so one community can host football on Saturdays and volleyball on Wednesdays without juggling two apps.
Admins share the load, too. A group can have multiple admins with the same powers — schedule events, manage members, approve money movements — so the club doesn't grind to a halt when one person is on holiday.
Membership and attendance without the spreadsheet
Every member has an @username and a profile, so rosters build themselves. When players check in to an event — one QR scan at the venue — attendance is recorded automatically and feeds each player's history and the group leaderboards. You always know who actually shows up, not just who said they would. Outstanding payments, fines and ticket status live on the same member record, so the answer to "who still owes for last week?" is one tap, not a group-chat argument.
Why groups move here from chat apps and spreadsheets
Most sports groups start as a WhatsApp chat and a shared spreadsheet — and then spend every week re-pinning the location, counting "+1" messages and chasing e-transfers. SportPadi keeps the chat for banter and moves the operations somewhere structured: events with real attendee lists, check-in that closes itself, balanced teams generated on the spot, and money that reconciles automatically. Setup takes minutes, and your members join with a single membership link.
FAQ
Questions about sports groups & communities
Is a group free?
Yes. Creating a group, adding members and running events is free. Paid plans add things like unlimited check-ins, the group wallet and a late-arrival player pool.
Can a group be private?
Yes. Private groups and private events are visible to members only, and they're kept out of search engines.
What can admins do that members can't?
Create and edit events, check players in, assign teams, post pinned announcements, manage members and teams, and handle tickets and the wallet.
Can people find my group on their own?
Public groups have a page that shows up in search and on the city and sport pages, with a Join button.
