What each role can do in Spooru
Spooru brings together in one place what a grassroots sports club needs. Each role sees and does only what is theirs: the club sets things up, staff run them day to day, and families follow along from their phone.
Free for clubs. Families see a short ad, or can remove it with a subscription. The Creator plan is optional.
How it all fits together
The club registers the season, the teams, the players and the staff. Coaches prepare their team's calendar, call-ups and sessions. Families receive notifications, confirm attendance and follow the calendar, standings and payments. What one changes shows up instantly for the others.
The club
For whoever runs the club: administrators and coordinators. They set Spooru up and see every team.

Squads and player records
