1. What is FindMyClub?
FindMyClub is a platform designed to connect grassroots football clubs with players and parents in their local area. It aims to grow football participation, remove barriers to involvement, and raise grassroots standards across the game.
2. How does FindMyClub work?
Clubs create a profile detailing their teams, age groups, training sessions, and contact information. Players and parents can search for clubs based on various criteria, including age, gender, location, and specific football interests. The platform then connects interested players with suitable clubs.
3. Is there a cost to use FindMyClub?
Currently, clubs in the Greater Manchester area have been uploaded to the platform for free as part of a limited-time offer. This allows clubs to receive enquiries and connect with players without any initial cost.
4. How can I edit or improve my club’s profile?
By signing up and claiming your club’s profile, you can add or update information such as team colours, logos, session times, and specific player requirements. A complete and engaging profile increases visibility and attracts more players.
5. What kind of players can find my club through the platform?
Players of all ages and abilities can use FindMyClub to search for clubs. The platform caters to various categories, including men’s, women’s, youth (boys and girls), mixed teams, and disability football options.
6. How does FindMyClub attract players to the platform?
FindMyClub invests significantly in marketing and advertising to drive traffic to the platform. Over the next 24 months, the goal is to spend over £1 million in advertising to connect players with clubs.
7. How do I get started?
