Run the whole season in one place
Foundation is sport management software for governing bodies, leagues and clubs: membership, competitions, live match sheets, officials, discipline, safeguarding, payments and more, behind one login.
Everything a governing body runs, in one login
Replace the spreadsheets, paper sheets and separate subscriptions. Every module shares the same members, clubs and seasons, so nothing is typed twice.
Membership and registration
Player, coach and official registration with proof of identity, club affiliations and online payment.
Competitions and fixtures
Leagues, cups and knockout brackets with automatic tables, fixture lists, calendar feeds and PDF and Excel exports.
Live match sheets
Team sheets checked for eligibility, live scoring and events, and signatures. Works offline at the rink.
Video review
Match footage linked to the fixture and its players, tagged and reviewed for officials and coaches.
Officials
Availability, allocations, assessments and accreditation, with expense claims paid from the same system.
Discipline
Cards from the match sheet feed suspensions automatically, and suspended players cannot be named on a team sheet.
Safeguarding
DBS applications, renewal windows and update service checks, with private documents locked behind short-lived links.
Loans and transfers
Clubs apply online, the governing body approves, and fees are invoiced to the right club.
Events and tickets
Camps, courses and finals with online entry, payment plans and QR tickets checked at the door.
Store
A kit and merchandise shop with stock, discount codes, card checkout and order management, reported into your accounting provider.
Payments and accounting
Card payments and payment plans through your payment provider, with invoices raised in your accounting provider and emailed to the club.
eLearning
Online courses for coaches, officials and volunteers, with progress and accreditation recorded against the member.
Development
Coach, player and official development records, academy levels, match assessments and post-match feedback.
Communications
Queued email and SMS to members, officials or clubs, with delivery tracking and scheduled sends.
Website and CMS
Your public website, news and competition pages, published from the same data as the rest of the season.
Forms
Applications, surveys and sign-ups built in the browser, prefilled from the member record and saved back to it.
Automation
Reminders, renewals, deadlines and follow-ups sent on schedules and rules you set, so nobody has to remember.
Reporting
Player, coach and official censuses by region and club, competition stats, finance reports and CSV exports wherever there is a list.
Privacy and GDPR
Members download their own data, leavers are anonymised and personal data is purged on a retention schedule.

The season in every member's pocket
Optional add-onThe Foundation app is an added extra that keeps members, parents and volunteers engaged between matchdays. Fixture changes, results and table updates arrive as notifications, not emails that get missed.

- League tables and player stats, updated from the signed match sheet
Built for organisations that look after young people
GDPR considered from the start, not bolted on.
