Built for the rhythms of a long cricket season.

What is cricket club management software?

Cricket club management software carries a club through a six-month season: registration from junior skills programs to grade seniors and a women's competition, fixtures spanning one-dayers, two-day matches and T20 nights, competitions where each grade's log maintains itself, match reports with room for the scorecard, team-targeted broadcasts for selections and wet-weather calls, and a club shop for caps, jumpers and club bats — with a cricket club website and member app on the same platform. For a club fielding six grades and twelve teams, the point is simple: one volunteer should never again be the human database holding the draw together.

Six grades, one draw, no Sunday-night spreadsheet

Fixtures publish as recurring events across every format the season throws up — Saturday one-dayers, two-day fixtures, T20 evenings and Friday-afternoon junior games. Per-member calendar feeds filter by team, so a parent sees their under-12s game and not the 1st XI's away trip.

Match reports speak cricket: opponent, field, the toss, the total, a declaration if the skipper made one, the result and the lineup — with batting and bowling figures and the captain's write-up in the body. Enter each result once and the log computes itself; when the home-and-away rounds close, finals seed straight from log positions. And for the long days, every fixture gets a live match centre — update the total from the scorers' table and members following from home watch it tick over on your own site.

Juniors, from first program to Friday-afternoon cricket

Junior cricket is a different rhythm, and the software follows it. An entry-level junior skills program runs as a term program with capacity, automatic waitlists and per-session attendance — families enrol and pay online, and the coordinator gets a live list instead of a clipboard at the nets. Age-group registration (U10 through U16) runs through parent-and-child accounts with consent captured for under-18s and fees paid in the same step, so a new junior signed up on a Saturday morning can be in a team that afternoon.

A cricket club website with the season on it

The draw, the logs, the match reports and the presentation-dinner page all live on one site that stays current because it runs on the same platform as the data. Build it with the page editor — pick a starting point from the template gallery and the site is publishable before the next selection meeting, while the demo shows what members will see. Team selections stay member-only until published, then one broadcast reaches the chosen XI; dinner tickets sell through built-in ticketing on your own site, with dietary fields and partner tickets and no external booking-site percentage skimmed off the top.

Free cricket club management software to start

Every club starts on the free plan — no time limit, with your cricket club website and core admin included. Paid plans carry a 14-day free trial and bill on a 28-day cycle you can cancel any time; the pricing page lists current tiers. Money from registrations, the shop and dinner tickets settles directly to the club's own Stripe account — ClubHelix never holds your funds — and the platform fee is never surcharged to your members. That's the end of rego arriving as bank transfers with cryptic references.

Switching in the winter, ready for round one

The off-season is long enough to move properly: import the member list, build the season's forms, load the draw, and open registration before the first training night at the nets. ClubHelix runs cricket clubs in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the US, Canada, Ireland and South Africa. If you'd like a hand planning the transition, talk to us — and for everything from committee structure to covers and curation of a home field, read the guide to running a cricket club.

What to compare before you commit

Cricket clubs run the longest season in community sport, across senior and junior grades, with a scoring ecosystem of their own and a bar or tuck shop that often funds the club.

What a cricket club actually pays

The free plan has no time limit and covers a website, a member list and fixtures. Paid plans start with subs, match fees, functions and merchandise.

Model a whole season including match fees. A club with 120 players paying weekly match fees processes thousands of small transactions a year, so the fee percentage dominates the subscription tier. Ours is never surcharged to players, and funds settle to the club's own account. Current tiers are on the pricing page; paid plans carry a 14-day free trial and bill on a 28-day cycle.

Getting subs and match fees in without chasing

1. Set subs to instalments so the season is affordable rather than a single hit in September.
2. Take match fees online and stop carrying cash in a captain's pocket.
3. Automate the reminders so the treasurer is not personally chasing teammates.
4. Publish selection early with availability collected in one place rather than five group chats.
5. Reconcile the bar and tuck shop against the same ledger as everything else, so the committee sees one financial picture.

Common questions from cricket committees

We use a separate scoring app. Does that clash? No. Keep scoring where it is; run membership, fees, selection, communication and the club's own records here.

Can we handle juniors and seniors together? Yes, with different fees, consent requirements and comms on one member list.

What about life members and non-playing members? Both work as membership types with their own price — including free — so the roll stays complete.

Can the treasurer see everything and the captains not? Yes — roles and permissions scope access precisely.

Do we need to move historical records? No. Bring what is useful; leave the rest.
