Members join and pay online. The money goes straight to your club’s bank.
Pay nothing for 30 days, then £19 a month. Cancel any time before then and you won’t be charged.
Admins and members get complete control. No passwords. No Stripe logins.
I’ve served on the committees of several grassroots football clubs in Northern Ireland, most recently as club secretary, and I’ve used a few of the membership platforms clubs rely on.
Too often they were yet another app with limited options. The admin side was confusing and took far longer than it should have, payments were handed off to Stripe for the club to manage, and pausing or cancelling a membership could mean waiting days on support.
I’m always looking for ways to make Braidwood Sports better. If something could work better for your club, I’d really like to hear it, and I read and consider every suggestion.
No more bank transfers to match up or reminders in the team chat. Members pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Direct Debit, automatically, or in cash, which you record in a tap. Every payment lands in one list, so you see who has paid at a glance.
Each member chooses card or Direct Debit, and can switch, all through Stripe’s secure page, at no extra cost to members or your club. Cash is recorded in the app, so it sits in the same list. Apple Pay and Google Pay show where available. Apple Pay is a trademark of Apple Inc. Google Pay is a trademark of Google LLC.
Most grassroots clubs are run by a few volunteers in their spare time. Every screen here is built for them.
Every club knows the end-of-season scramble: cancelling payments one by one, too early for some and too late for others, members who forget and then ask for a refund, and setting it all up again for the new season.
Set your season once and Braidwood Sports does it for you. When the season ends, the memberships you choose pause by themselves, so nobody pays for the months nobody plays. Everyone is told before anything restarts, and payments start again on each member’s usual day.
Type the first day and how many payments. We work out the rest: 10 payments from 1 August end on 31 May. Next year’s season is made for you.
Pause Senior and Junior, keep a Coaches type going. Yearly memberships always keep going, as there is nothing to pause.
Admins get an email 14 and 7 days before each change. Paused members are told when they restart and what they will pay, and how to cancel if they are not coming back.
When every membership type pauses, a Monthly Braidwood Sports plan pauses with it, and keeps the paid days you had left. Yearly is paid a year at a time, so it carries on. Last One Standing carries on for your players.
Every member has email and their own My membership page, and those do everything. For members who would rather message, WhatsApp does the same jobs in their own words: they see exactly what will happen, and tap Yes. No app, no password, and no volunteer answering the same questions every week.

Sample chat; the people are made up. Email and My membership come first, for every member. WhatsApp is there for members who connect it, with one message from My membership.
Typing “yes” is never enough, and the offer runs out after 10 minutes. Each change is the same one My membership makes, with the same rules and the same record.
A pause can happen straight away, wait for an Admin to approve it, or be switched off. A cancellation always runs to the end of the period they have paid for.
Admins who want them get an email each time, and every change members make shows on Overview under Recent changes.
Some club platforms advertise “no commission”, then ask your club to open its own Stripe account and pay Stripe’s fees itself. With Braidwood Sports, one fee of 3.4% + 20p on each payment, with Stripe’s fees included, covers everything, and the running is done for you.
OthersYour club opens its own Stripe account, with its own login, and a volunteer looks after it.
Braidwood SportsNothing to look after in Stripe. Payments are collected and paid into your club’s bank for you.
OthersStripe’s fees come on top, and change with the card each member uses.
Braidwood SportsOne fee on each payment, whether a member pays by card or Direct Debit. Stripe’s fees are included, and there are no Stripe bills.
OthersPayouts and Stripe’s fees live in Stripe, so someone has two places to check.
Braidwood SportsMembers, payments, refunds and pauses, all in one app.
Last One Standing works the same way: £20 a game, however many play, and every club gets one free game when it joins. We never handle entry money, so we never take a cut of what your club raises.
Fill in the short form, enter the code we email you, and your club is live. Attach your player list as it is and we read it for you. Check the names, then Approve all.
Attach a list, approve allYour club gets its own page. Players choose a membership, add their children if they have any, and send a request. No payment is taken.
/join/your-clubEvery request waits for an admin. Approve one with a 10 second Undo before anything goes out, or approve them all after a quick check. The member then gets a message to set up payment, by card or Direct Debit, on Stripe’s secure page.
10 second UndoPayments are taken automatically each period. See who has paid, who is due and who needs a nudge, and export it all to a spreadsheet.
Paid by cardSeven more features. Each one is a tap or two on a phone.
Weekly, monthly or yearly. Once you approve a member, they set up card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Direct Debit once on Stripe’s secure page, and payments are taken automatically. For match fees, kit or a trip, start a Pot and share one link in your WhatsApp group.
A parent joins their children under one login. Each child is a member in their own right, with their own membership and payment, so you always know who has paid for whom.
Moving from another platform? Attach or paste the list you already have, even a photo. We read it and leave out repeats, and payment days in a spreadsheet or pasted list carry over, so nobody is charged twice. No forms, no waiting on support. How to move over
When a payment fails you see it straight away, with the reason. Send a friendly reminder to one member, or to everyone who owes. Automatic reminders stay off unless you switch them on, and never come more than once a week.
Some families will always pay in cash. Let people ask to pay in cash when they join (it stays off until you switch it on), approve them as usual, and record each payment as it comes in. Card, Direct Debit and cash, all in one list.
Type your email address and we email you a Sign in button and a six-digit code. Tap the button or type the code: each works once and runs out after 10 minutes, so there is nothing to remember and nothing to reset. Your own phone keeps you signed in for weeks at a time.
Clubs are run from the touchline, the bus and the lunch break. Every feature works on a phone, not a cut-down version, and the same on a tablet or a desktop. Every screen was designed at phone size first, then given room to breathe on a bigger screen.

Your first month is free (30 days). Then everything is included in both, with unlimited members. A fee of 3.4% + 20p on each payment, by card or Direct Debit, covers Stripe’s costs too, and is paid by the club, never by your members. Last One Standing is extra, and optional.

Add a card or Direct Debit to start. Nothing is taken for 30 days, and cancelling in that month deletes your club’s data. Last One Standing is £20 a game. Every club gets one free game when it joins. *Fair use applies to members: see the FAQ. Full pricing.

No. A member pays exactly the price your club sets, for a membership or a one-off payment. The fee on each payment covers Braidwood Sports and Stripe’s fees, by card or Direct Debit. It comes out of the payment your club receives and is never added for members.
By card or by Direct Debit, whichever each member prefers. Once your club approves them, a member chooses and sets it up once, on Stripe’s own secure page, and their membership is then paid automatically. They can switch later on My membership. Google Pay and Apple Pay work for cards as well, on the phones and browsers that have them, at no extra cost. Cards start at £10.00, so a smaller membership is paid by Direct Debit. One-off payments, such as a match fee or kit, are paid by card on Stripe’s secure page; for one under £10.00 your club records the cash.
Members are unlimited on both plans, under fair use: a club that passes 1,000 members gets a quick check from our support team to make sure it is a real club and not spam, and so does a brand-new club that set itself up online when it passes 100. The club keeps working while we check, and nothing changes for a genuine club.
No. Enter your email address and we email you a Sign in button and a six-digit code. Tap the button or type the code. Each works once and runs out after 10 minutes, so there is nothing to remember and nothing to reset, and you stay signed in on your own phone. Club admins can also choose to sign in with a passkey (a fingerprint, face or device PIN) for extra protection.
No. Braidwood Sports works in any phone or computer browser, so nobody has to find it in an app store. Members sort out their membership on WhatsApp or on My membership, and anyone can add it to their phone’s home screen from the browser menu.
Set up your club in a couple of minutes. Or look around the demo first.
