Volleyball club management software, free for every club
Members, roles, teams and registrations in one place — so running your club stops meaning a group chat, a spreadsheet and a bank transfer request. Free forever, on the web and in the app.
Create your club
The spreadsheet stops scaling before the club does
Most volleyball clubs are run out of a WhatsApp group, a spreadsheet and one person’s bank account. That holds up at twenty members. At fifty it starts costing real money: sessions booked for players who never confirmed, fees that quietly go uncollected, and a committee where only one person actually knows who is in the club.
The awkward part is that the work is not hard — it is just scattered. Spike puts the membership list, the roles, the teams and the joining process in one place, and lets you share the load with the people who volunteered to help.
One membership list, and real roles behind it
Every member sits in one list with their role, skill level and status. Roles are not decoration — they decide what someone can actually do, so you can hand over the parts of the job you do not want to keep doing yourself.
- Head Coach — Oversees all teams and groups, full coaching access
- Admin — Manages posts, comments and registrations
- Treasurer — Finance, dues and payments
- Welfare Officer — Attendance tracking
Teams and groups inside one club
Both sit under one club, sharing its membership list, noticeboard and fees, and a member can belong to several. The difference is what they are for. A group organises people inside the club — a training squad, an age band, a Tuesday session — with its own coaches and helpers. A team is the club’s competitive unit: it holds a roster, and it is the thing that goes out and plays.
Because a team is a real thing rather than a label, other clubs can play it. A team can be invited to a match and accept or decline as a team, enter a tournament, and be added to an event as a squad rather than as a list of names you re-pick every week. A group does none of that — it is for arranging your own people, which is a different job and a useful one.
The roster is the team’s own line-up, not a headcount: setter, middles, outsides, opposite and libero, each with the players behind them. Coaches and a manager sit alongside it, because the people who run a team are part of the team.
Joining the club is a flow, not a favour
Invite people directly or share a join link. Requests arrive in their own tab next to invitations, so a new player asking to join is something you approve rather than something you remember. New members land in the club with the right access from the start, and the club feed tells everyone what is happening without another all-members message.
Who it’s for
Volunteer-run clubs
Nobody is paid to do the admin. Spike is built so the person doing it in their evenings can hand parts of it to someone else.
Clubs with more than one team
A competitive squad and a Tuesday social session need different rosters but the same club noticeboard, membership list and fees.
Clubs with juniors
Parents get their own accounts, consent controls over what their child can access, and can pay on their behalf.
Common questions
Is Spike really free for volleyball clubs?
Yes, and it stays free. Running your club on Spike — members, roles, teams, events, attendance and announcements — costs nothing, with no member limit and no trial period. Spike earns a share of payments processed through it, so a club that never collects a payment never pays anything.
Can one club run several teams?
Yes. A club can hold as many teams and groups as it needs, each with its own roster. Members can belong to more than one.
What roles can I give people in my club?
Alongside the Owner, Spike has Head Coach (oversees all teams and groups with full coaching access), Admin (manages posts, comments and registrations), Treasurer (finance, dues and payments) and Welfare Officer (attendance tracking). A member can hold more than one. Teams and groups then carry their own roles on top — a team has a Coach, Assistant Coach, Manager, Captain and Admin, and a group has a Coach, Assistant Coach, Helper and Admin. So whoever runs Tuesday's session can be a coach there without being given the run of the whole club.
How do new players join the club?
Send an invitation or share a join link, and approve requests as they arrive. Registrations and invitations each have their own tab in the members area, so nothing gets lost in a group chat.
Do members need to install an app?
No. Spike runs in any browser, and everyone sees the same club whichever they use. That said, the iOS and Android apps are the better experience for members: push notifications when an event moves, a spot opens or a payment falls due, and the whole thing built for one hand at the side of a court rather than a laptop. Organisers tend to work on the web; players tend to live in the app.
The rest of the club, too
Set your club up in an evening
