Player Portal · the booking and billing system

Parents book and pay online. Members pay on the 1st. Nobody chases anyone.

Player Portal is the software I built to run football academies. On the Ecosystem it's set up for you and your families are moved across. You don't lift a finger.

An academy booking page on Player Portal
Your booking page. Parents pick a class, see spaces left and book and pay online, day or night.
The booking page on a phone
On their phone. Where most parents book.
The academy dashboard
Your dashboard. Recurring revenue, who's paying, who's at risk and today's sessions, first thing in the morning.
A parent's app
The parent app. Next session, what they pay, messages. Fewer WhatsApps for you.
Payments and subscriptions
Paid on the 1st. Every membership, collected automatically, and the money paid out to your bank.

What it does

Everything between "I'm interested" and "paid".

Your own booking page

Classes, ages, spaces left and prices. Parents book and pay in a couple of minutes, day or night.

Monthly billing on autopilot

Members pay on the 1st. Failed cards are retried and you see who's behind at a glance.

Trials that turn into members

Book a trial online, then a link straight to a place in the group.

Camps and holidays

Sell whole weeks or single days, with places counted so you never overbook.

Waitlists

Full group? Parents join the list and the next one is offered the place when it opens.

1-2-1 sessions

Coach timetables, booking and payment for one-to-ones, in the same place.

The parent app

Next session, what they pay and messages from you. Fewer WhatsApps.

Your dashboard

Revenue, who's paying, who's at risk and today's sessions, first thing in the morning.

Results

Real academies. Real numbers.

From academies already running on Player Portal. Live figures, not projections.

80 families

on automatic monthly billing at one academy — nobody chased for a payment.

6 in a week

new families signed up and paid at a brand-new academy in its first week live.

12 / 12

places sold and paid online for a holiday camp — full before the day.

£9,211

collected in a single day across academies on billing day, 1 September.

Switching

Moving across is done for you.

I use ClassForKids or Gymcatch. How hard is it to move?

On the Ecosystem we move your parents and members across for you. If you'd rather keep your current system, the Lead Machine tracks every trial and member alongside it instead.

Will my parents be charged twice?

No. Members who've already paid you for the month come across with their first charge on the next billing date, and anyone holding prepaid credit keeps it.

How much of my time does it take?

About 15 minutes to connect payments, and a short call to hand over your timetable and prices. The rest is done for you.

Two ways to get it

How do you want it?

Set up for me, plus ads and mentoring

The Ecosystem: Player Portal set up and your families moved across, your ads run for you, every enquiry chased, and a monthly one-to-one with me. £300 a month, 14-day money-back.
