Matchdae gives grassroots sports clubs a professional website and the tools to run their club — without needing a web developer, a big budget, or a computer science degree.
Right now, most grassroots clubs run on a patchwork of Facebook groups, WhatsApp chats, spreadsheets, and bank transfers. Important information gets lost. New families can't find the club online. Sponsors don't take a Facebook group seriously. And the one volunteer who “knows where the spreadsheet is” burns out by mid-season.
Meanwhile, professional sports teams have custom-built platforms, dedicated staff, and six-figure budgets. The gap between professional and grassroots has never been wider.
We think every club — from the premier squad to the Saturday social team — deserves the same tools. That's why we built Matchdae.
Matchdae started from firsthand frustration. Managing a local rugby league club in South Auckland meant spending more time on admin than actually watching the game — chasing subs, texting about availability, updating spreadsheets, answering “when is training?” for the hundredth time.
The tools that existed were either built for American sports, required an app download that half the parents never did, or cost hundreds of dollars a year for basics. Nothing was built for AU/NZ grassroots clubs from the ground up.
So we built Matchdae: a platform that gives any club a professional website, team management, fixtures, stats, payments, and more — set up in 5 minutes, free for small clubs, and designed for the volunteer who's already doing too much.
Club secretaries, treasurers, and coaches are unpaid heroes. Every feature we build asks: "Does this save a volunteer time?"
If you can use Facebook, you can use Matchdae. We hide complexity, not features. No training manual required.
Your club deserves to be found on Google, not hidden behind a login. Supporters, parents, and sponsors should see everything without creating an account.
No per-player fees. No surprise charges. Free for small clubs, forever. We'd rather have 1,000 free clubs than 10 overcharged ones.
We support the sports your club plays — with the right terminology, positions, and stat types.
Free to get started. Set up in 5 minutes.
