For pétanque clubs

From social roll-ups to tournament day, beautifully organised.

ClubHelix runs your pétanque club with the same ease as a Sunday roll-up: memberships online, tournaments and social days on one calendar, results and the club ladder published while the pastis is still cold.

Why committees of pétanque clubs come to us

The same problems show up in every committee meeting. ClubHelix is built to retire each one for good.

  • Tournament entries collected on a paper list at the piste.
  • Melee draws and results known only to whoever ran the day.
  • Membership renewals chased across a season of Sundays.
  • Visitors and new players finding the club by accident, if at all.
  • Club news travelling by word of mouth and losing detail on the way.

What ClubHelix does for pétanque clubs

The platform mapped onto the moments your season actually runs on.

  1. Memberships

    Online registration and renewal with Stripe Connect — annual fees paid in a minute, paid-until dates visible to the committee, one member directory for the whole club.

  2. Tournaments and social days

    Publish triples, doubles and melee days as events with RSVP and online entry fees, so the organiser knows the field before anyone chalks a draw.

  3. Results and the club ladder

    Run graded events and the club championship as competitions: results entered at the piste, standings recalculated automatically and published on your site.

  4. Attracting new players

    A branded public site with your piste location on an interactive map, come-and-try events newcomers can book online, and news and galleries that show the club at its best.

  5. Communications

    Broadcast tournament invitations, working-bee calls and results wrap-ups by email — with SMS available for day-of changes.

  6. The season and the AGM

    Member counts, competition entries and the social side’s takings. The committee pack is the AGM annexure: membership, money and activity, on the same page, in the same order as last year.

What is petanque club software?

Petanque club software replaces the paper entry list at the piste, the renewal chase that stretches across a season of Sundays, and the club news that travels by word of mouth and loses detail on the way. With ClubHelix, memberships renew online with annual fees paid in a minute, tournaments and social days sit on one public calendar with RSVP and online entry fees, graded events and the club championship publish their standings automatically, and broadcasts carry invitations, working-bee calls and results wrap-ups to every member — with SMS available for day-of changes.

Triples, doubles and mêlée days without the paper list

Publish each tournament — triples, doubles, mêlée — as an event with RSVP and the entry fee paid online at sign-up, so the organiser knows the field and has the money settled before anyone chalks a draw. Social roll-ups go on the same calendar, and the whole program is visible to members and visitors alike instead of living in the head of whoever ran last Sunday. Afterwards, results are entered at the piste on a phone: graded events and the club championship run as competitions, standings recalculate automatically, and the ladder is published on your site while the pastis is still cold.

A petanque club website that brings players to the piste

Most pétanque clubs are found by accident, if at all. A branded public site changes that: your piste location on an interactive map, upcoming social days listed for anyone curious, a come-and-try event newcomers can book online, and news and photo galleries that show the club at its best — all assembled with the page editor by a committee member, not a contractor, and built to be found in local search. Pick a starting point from the template gallery, or explore the live demo to see a finished club site in action.

One member list, one set of reminders

Renewals stop being a Sunday-by-Sunday pursuit. Members pay their annual fee online through Stripe, the committee sees paid-until dates at a glance, and the whole club lives in one member directory rather than three exercise books. When the weather turns or a tournament moves, a broadcast email — or an SMS for genuine day-of changes — reaches everyone at once, with nothing lost in the retelling.

Free petanque club software to start

Every ClubHelix club starts on the free plan — your petanque club website and core admin at no cost, and there is no time limit on it. Paid plans carry a 14-day free trial and bill on a 28-day cycle you can cancel any time; current tiers are on the pricing page. Entry fees and membership payments settle directly to the club's own Stripe account — ClubHelix never holds your funds, and the platform fee is never surcharged to your members.

From the piste to the platform

Start small: load the member list, publish the next social day, and take one tournament's entries online — the paper list rarely survives the comparison. ClubHelix runs pétanque clubs in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the US, Canada, Ireland and South Africa, with payments settling in your local currency. Have a question first? Talk to us, or read the complete guide to running a petanque club — pistes, formats, committee basics and growing the Sunday crowd. Friends at the croquet or bowls club next door will find their own page here too.

Frequently asked questions

The questions pétanque club committees ask before signing up.

Can players enter a tournament and pay online?
Yes. Tournaments are events with RSVP and entry fees paid through Stripe Connect at sign-up, so the field and the money are settled before the day.
Can we publish results and a club ladder?
Yes. Run your championship and graded days as competitions — results entered on a phone update the standings automatically on your public site.
Will the site help newcomers find us?
Yes. Your public site carries the piste location on a map, upcoming social days, and a come-and-try form — and it is built to be found in local search.
