The pitch already knows you’re playing on it.
Most clubs that let their grounds run two systems that have never heard of each other — one for the club, one for the diary. lekkin holds the squad, the fixture list and the booking calendar as one thing, so Saturday morning only has to be got right once.
One pitch, two commitments, one system that holds both. Illustrative.
What you get
- Clubs and teams. Every side you run, under one club.
- Players and guardians. A squad member is reached through their guardian where one is recorded.
- Fixtures and results. What is coming up, what was played, what the score was.
- Availability. Ask who can play, and see the answers before you pick a side.
- Match recording. Goals, cards and substitutions as they happen, from the touchline on a phone.
- Pitch booking. Take bookings and payments for your grounds, with your own fixtures already in the diary.
What it costs
The football platform is free, permanently — clubs and teams, players and guardians, fixtures and results, availability, match recording, notifications. No charge per player, no commission, and no cut of your subs.
Pitch booking is the paid part: £20 a month for one bookable pitch, and never more than £60 however many you have. Prices include VAT, and you can stop whenever you like.
Why both halves belong together
A booking system that has never heard of your first team will happily let the Saturday morning slot to somebody else. So a volunteer blocks it out by hand, every week, and remembers — or does not.
Here the fixture and the booking are the same fact. That is the part a cheaper price cannot copy, and it is why the club software is free: the two are worth more together than either is alone.
