For water polo clubs in South Africa

Squads, fixtures and pool time — managed from one deck.

ClubHelix runs your water polo club across every squad: online registrations, the fixture list and log, training attendance, table-official rosters and the comms that fill a pool deck on Friday night.

Why committees of water polo clubs come to us

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

  • Pool-session changes announced in three different team chats.
  • Table duty and timekeeping rosters that fall apart when one family misses a message.
  • Juniors, seniors and masters squads run as three separate spreadsheets.
  • No public log or draw — everyone relies on a screenshot from last week.
  • Registration fees, cap orders and carnival entries all paid three different ways.

What ClubHelix does for water polo clubs

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

  1. Registration across squads

    Registration forms per squad — juniors with parent accounts and consent, seniors, masters — paid through Stripe Connect, with everyone landing in one member directory.

  2. Fixtures and the log

    Run your grades as competitions with published fixtures and auto-calculated logs; results entered poolside on a phone appear on your site straight away.

  3. Training sessions and attendance

    Publish pool sessions as recurring events with RSVP and attendance tracking, so coaches know Thursday-morning numbers before they get on deck — and lane plans match the bodies that show up.

  4. Table duty rosters

    Volunteer rostering for table officials, timekeepers and shot clock each round — published, claimed and visible, so duty defaults stop being a committee argument.

  5. Club comms

    Broadcast pool-closure notices, carnival details and squad selections by email to one squad or the whole club, with SMS for the short-notice session changes.

  6. Caps, kit and carnivals

    Club shop for caps, towels and swimwear, and native ticketing for carnival spectators and presentation night — all through your branded site.

  7. The association return

    Registered players by age group, pool hire costs against fee income, and squad attendance. Facility and program reporting show whether the pool-hire block you are paying for is actually being used.

What is water polo club software?

Water polo club software runs the club from one deck: registration for every squad, the draw and log published where everyone can find them, pool sessions with RSVP and attendance, table-duty rosters, squad broadcasts and a water polo club website holding it all together. Instead of juniors, seniors and masters living in three spreadsheets and three team chats, every squad registers through its own form — juniors with parent accounts and consent — pays through Stripe, and lands in one member directory.

It also ends the screenshot economy: no more last week's log doing the rounds because nobody knows where the current one lives.

Friday nights: draws, logs and the duty table

Run your grades as competitions with published fixtures and auto-calculated logs — results entered poolside on a phone appear on your site straight away, so the draw and the standings are always the real ones. Table duty stops being a committee argument: shifts for table officials, timekeepers and the shot clock publish per round through volunteer rostering; members claim their own, and unfilled shifts are visible before game night rather than discovered on the deck.

Training numbers before you reach the deck

Pool sessions publish as recurring events with RSVP and attendance tracking, so coaches know Thursday-morning numbers before they get on deck and lane plans match the bodies that show up. When the pool closes or a session moves at short notice, a broadcast reaches the affected squad by email — with SMS for the changes that can't wait. Caps, towels and swimwear sell through the club shop, and carnival spectators and presentation-night guests buy tickets through your own branded site.

A water polo club website the whole club reads

Your site runs on the same platform as your fixtures, so the draw, the log and the news are always current. Arrange pages with the page editor, pick a look from the template gallery, and open the live demo to see what members and parents get. ClubHelix runs water polo clubs in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the US, Canada, Ireland and South Africa.

Free water polo club software to start

Every club starts on the free plan and can stay there — no time limit. Paid plans carry a 14-day free trial, bill on a 28-day cycle and cancel any time; the pricing page has the current tiers. Rego, shop and ticket money settles straight to the club's own Stripe account — ClubHelix never holds your funds — and the platform fee is never surcharged to members or families.

Out of the group chats

Import the three squad spreadsheets into one directory, open registration per squad, and run a round or two with the old chats as a safety net. Get in touch if you'd like help with the changeover, and the guide to running a water polo club covers the rest — committee roles, pool time, juniors and the season calendar.

Frequently asked questions

The questions water polo club committees ask before signing up.

Can we track who actually turns up to training?
Yes. Sessions are events with RSVP and attendance tracking, so coaches see expected and actual numbers per session — useful for squad selection and pool-space planning.
Can we run juniors, seniors and masters on one site?
Yes. Each squad has its own teams, fixtures and registration forms, but the club has one directory, one shop and one comms platform.
How do table-duty rosters work?
Publish the duty shifts for each round through volunteer rostering; members claim their own, and the committee sees unfilled shifts before game night instead of scrambling on the deck.
