Who the founding beta is for
- Adult grassroots football teams, in any country.
- Teams with a social media account they post to on matchdays.
- One person, often the secretary or a media volunteer, who can give us twenty minutes a week.
How the beta works
From registering interest to your sixth matchday
About 10 to 15 grassroots football teams, offered places by us and set up with us alongside, before anything is offered more widely. Here is exactly what happens.
Not in the founding beta
- Youth teams' player data. Youth clubs can register interest; we will not hold children's details until youth safeguards are built and agreed.
- Payments of any kind. Nothing is charged, and kit is by written quote only, once quotes open.
- Live scores on supporters' own phones. That is coming soon, not built.
The journey
Seven steps
-
Register interest
Your club or team name, your name, an email address and your country. It is free and it is not a subscription.
-
We review, and contact selected teams
There are about 10 to 15 founding places, and we offer them one team at a time. If your team is selected, we email you. If not, your details are kept only as the privacy notice says, and you can ask us to delete them at any time.
-
A twenty-minute call
How your matchday works today: who records the score, who makes the graphics, where they are posted, and what your sponsors get. No sales pitch, and nothing to sign.
-
Agree the beta in writing
Short founding-beta terms, and a written agreement that makes clear your club owns its data. Nothing about your players is held before both are agreed, and nothing is charged.
-
We set your team up with you
In the founding betaCrest, colours, sponsors, squad and fixtures, entered together on a call.
-
Your first matchday, with us on hand
Someone from GrassrootsDriven is on the end of a message during your first match, and we look at the graphics with you afterwards.
-
Six matchdays, then an honest review
A ten-minute check-in each week: what saved time, what got in the way, what you posted. After six matchdays we decide together whether your team carries on. Either side can stop at any point, and your data is returned or deleted as the agreement says.
What we ask of founding teams
- Use it on real matchdays, including the messy ones.
- Tell us plainly what does not work.
- A ten-minute check-in each week during the beta.
- One named contact at the club.
What founding teams get
- Help setting up, and someone to message on matchday.
- A real say in what is built next.
- Founding terms, agreed in writing before anything could ever be charged. Basic is planned at £9.99 per team per month.
