For gridiron clubs
Run your gridiron program like a pro franchise — on a volunteer budget.
ClubHelix gives Australian gridiron clubs one platform for registrations and waivers, kit and merch orders, the season schedule, game-day volunteer crews and the comms that keep a full roster turning up.

Why committees of gridiron clubs come to us
The same problems show up in every committee meeting. ClubHelix is built to retire each one for good.
- Fifty-three roster spots and no single list of who has registered, paid and signed the waiver.
- Helmet and shoulder-pad hire tracked on a clipboard in the gear shed.
- Chain crew, medics and canteen begged for in the group chat every game week.
- Injury reports written on paper — if they get written at all.
- New-player interest from social media going nowhere because sign-up is a PDF.
What ClubHelix does for gridiron clubs
The platform mapped onto the moments your season actually runs on.
Registration and waivers
Self-serve registration with position and sizing fields, digital waivers signed at sign-up, and Stripe Connect payment — one flow from Instagram interest to registered, paid, waivered player.
Season schedule
Publish the season as fixtures on your site, with every member able to subscribe a personalised calendar feed — schedule changes and bye weeks update their phones automatically.
Game-day crew
Volunteer rostering for chain crew, gate, canteen and ground set-up, published per game and claimed by members — the committee sees the gaps on Wednesday, not at kickoff.
Injuries and incidents
Structured incident reporting for the contact sport that needs it most: log injuries and concussion assessments with a permanent, auditable record.
Kit and merch
Club shop for jerseys, hoodies and supporter merch, with per-product options for sizing — orders, statuses and payouts reconciled in one place.
Roster communications
Broadcast selection emails and training changes to the full roster or one unit, with SMS for the calls that cannot wait for anyone to check email.
League registration and safety
Registered players, current medicals and concussion protocols, and equipment levies collected. Compliance reporting keeps the safety registers, and outstanding fees shows who still owes on gear.
What is gridiron club software?
Gridiron club software is the front office a volunteer-run American-football club never had: one platform holding the roster, the waivers, the season schedule, the game-day crew and the kit orders. In ClubHelix that's self-serve registration with position and sizing fields, digital waivers signed at sign-up, the season schedule on your site with personal calendar feeds, volunteer rostering for game day, incident reporting for the collisions, and a club shop for jerseys and supporter merch — all behind a gridiron club website of your own.
Fifty-three roster spots is a lot of paperwork when the paperwork is actual paper. The question every gridiron committee needs answered — who has registered, paid and signed the waiver? — should be one screen, not three lists and a clipboard in the gear shed.
Roster, waivers and game-day crew
Sign-up is one flow from social-media interest to registered, paid, waivered player: the form captures position and sizing, the waiver is signed digitally and stored against the member record — reportable, so you can prove every player on the field has signed — and the fee clears through Stripe in the same step. The season publishes as fixtures with a personalised calendar feed per member, so schedule changes and bye weeks update phones automatically.
Game day stops running on favours begged in the group chat. Chain crew, gate, canteen and ground set-up publish as volunteer rosters per game; members claim their own slots and the committee sees the gaps on Wednesday, not at kickoff. When a player goes down, incident reporting logs the injury or concussion assessment with a permanent, auditable record — which matters in a collision sport. For calls that can't wait for anyone to check email, broadcasts reach the full roster or a single unit, with SMS for the urgent ones.
A gridiron club website that recruits
New-player interest dies in a PDF. A live site built with the page editor turns a social-media click into a registration the same evening — schedule, news, kit and sign-up on one domain in club colours. Browse the template gallery for a starting design or open the live demo to see the player-facing side. ClubHelix runs gridiron clubs in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the US, Canada, Ireland and South Africa.
Free gridiron club software to start
Every club starts on the free plan, with no time limit on it. Paid plans add more as the program grows — each carries a 14-day free trial, bills on a 28-day cycle and cancels any time; see the pricing page. Registration, shop and ticket money settles directly to the club's own Stripe account — ClubHelix never holds funds — and the platform fee is never surcharged to your members.
From clipboard to kickoff
Import the roster you have, open registration with the waiver built in, and run one season with the clipboard retired to the gear shed. Talk to us if you'd like help with the setup, and read the guide to running a gridiron club for the bigger picture of building and running the program.

Frequently asked questions
The questions gridiron club committees ask before signing up.
- Yes. Digital waivers are captured in the registration flow, stored against the member record, and reportable — so you can prove every player on the field has signed.
- Through built-in incident reporting: log the incident, who was involved and the action taken. The record is permanent and auditable, which matters in a collision sport.
