A club officer’s week

Paak gathers what is scattered.

Volunteers spend more time on admin than on the pitch. Paak reunites what your spreadsheets and assorted tools pulled apart.

Before Paak

Your data lives in six different places — and none of them talk to each other.

  • Spreadsheets everywhere

    Members in one file, payments in another, licences on paper. Nothing is connected.

  • Manual chasing on Sunday night

    Who has paid? Whose licence is current? You spend your evenings checking line by line.

  • Volunteers stretched thin

    Your officers spend more time on admin than on sport. Burnout, resignations, a fragile club.

With Paak

One source of truth — the automations handle the rest.

  • Fees tracked without a spreadsheet

    Spreadsheet import, per-member due dates, payments recorded by hand, automatic renewal reminders. Late payers surface on your dashboard.

  • Coaches manage from the touchline

    Email call-ups, RSVPs, attendance, rosters. Attendance is taken pitchside. Parents know who is coming.

  • Nothing expires behind your back

    Licences, medical certificates, coach background checks — alerts before every expiry.

What changes for a US club

A "club" here can be a 501(c)(3) youth league, a member-owned 501(c)(7), or a coach-owned LLC academy — and the safeguarding regime is SafeSport, not a paper certificate. Here is where Paak fits and where it does not.

Nonprofit or business — both are normal

US club sport runs through 501(c)(3) youth organizations, 501(c)(7) member clubs, and for-profit academies alike — martial-arts schools and gymnastics gyms are usually businesses. Paak never assumes a legal form and never blocks signup on a registry number: there is no single US register to check against, and that is fine.

SafeSport — training and checks, not a certificate

The US safeguarding regime is SafeSport abuse-prevention training plus background checks for adults working with minors, flowing from your governing body down to the club. Paak does not pretend that is one national document — you record each coach's training and check with its own expiry date as a qualification, and Paak reminds you before it lapses.

Dues tracked, not collected online

Our payment partner only opens merchant accounts in the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, so a US-registered club collects dues its usual way. Paak still holds the due dates, records what you receive, chases renewals and shows you who is late.

What Paak does for you

Four levers that give back 10 hours a week.

01 · Fees & payments

Your fees come in — without a single manual reminder.

Renewal dates are chased automatically; late payments are flagged on the dashboard. You collect the money your usual way and record the payment in one click.

  • Family discounts, households, per-member due dates
  • Club accounting — every payment feeds the ledger
  • Automatic renewal reminders

02 · Coaches, teams & matches

Your coaches run their team from their phone.

Call-ups sent in one tap, live RSVPs, attendance taken at the side of the pitch. Parents get the time and the place. The match log fills in while the game is on.

  • Email call-ups & RSVPs
  • Live match tracker (mobile + desktop)
  • Per-player ratings, season-aggregated stats
  • 21 sports — native rules, scoring, formations
Beyond team apps

03 · Set up in 30 seconds

Import your spreadsheet. Paak recognises the columns by itself.

Club name, sport, country — your space is ready. Drop in your CSV or Excel file: Paak detects the columns, suggests the mapping, you approve the rows before importing.

  • CSV / Excel import — automatic column detection
  • Migrate from any tool that exports CSV
  • Preview validation before import
  • Households configurable after import (parents-children)
Beyond the spreadsheet

04 · The season rollover

The new season takes one evening to set up — not three.

Teams kept, age groups shifted, re-registrations drafted, weekly slots carried over. The rollover wizard works through the steps — you approve the age-group moves, Paak does the rest.

  • Age groups shifted — teams kept, not recreated
  • Draft re-registrations + renewal email
  • Weekly training slots carried across the season
  • Every step visible and repeatable — nothing goes out without you
The rollover in detail

Member space

Every member gets their own space — no account, no password.

A secure personal link in every club email opens the Member space: schedule and call-ups, fees due and already settled, medical certificate upload, sporting progress, volunteering and club news. Families serve themselves; the committee breathes.

Personal schedule + phone calendar (ICS)
Attendance confirmed in one tap, editable until the session
Medical certificate uploaded by the family — encrypted, club-validated
Grades, licences, volunteering and club news in one place
Included in the free plan — for every member
Fees due and settled, visible to the family

Accepted payment methods

Credit Card

Online fee collection is not available here

Our payment partner only opens accounts for organisations registered in the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. A club registered here therefore cannot collect its membership fees online through Paak.

Everything else works: per-member due dates, recording payments you receive, renewal reminders, an overview of late payments, accounting and receipts. You collect the money your usual way. Your own Paak subscription is paid by card as normal.

Coming up

Coming soon to Paak.

Three things already in progress. For the clubs that are here today.

In preparation

Paak on iPhone and Android

Built mobile-first — not a desktop site shrunk onto a small screen. It all runs straight in the phone browser, nothing to install. Your coaches call up the team in two taps from the touchline.

On the roadmap

A smart assistant

Ask Paak your questions in plain language. No more digging through menus to find one number.

Ongoing

More sports, more local rules

More federations, more rule sets, more age categories. Always at nonprofit pricing, with no hidden fees. We add what your clubs ask for first.

Have an idea for the roadmap? Write to us. We read everything.

A word from the founder

"I was lucky enough to learn rugby in the youth section at Stade Français — a big multi-sport club in the middle of Paris, where volunteers kept the machine running. Most amateur clubs do not have that structure behind them. Paak exists for the others: the same tools, whatever the size of the club."

Frequently asked questions

Where is my data stored?

In Europe, on OVHcloud servers located in France; authentication via Hanko (Germany). US privacy law is a patchwork of state statutes plus COPPA for children under 13 — the GDPR is not your regime, and European hosting is a residency and security choice we make, not a box it ticks for you. Paak runs no ad-tech, sells no data, and shows no targeted ads to anyone, children included.

Why is your pricing nonprofit-only?

Paak is built for community sports organizations and their volunteers — 501(c)(3) youth leagues, 501(c)(7) member clubs, unincorporated associations. Our pricing reflects the economics of a volunteer-run club. If your structure is for-profit (an LLC academy, a private gym…), write to contact@paak.club.

Is it really free?

Yes. The free plan includes up to 100 members, 3 admins and 1 sport. No time limit, no credit card required.

How long does setup take?

30 seconds. Enter your club name, pick your sport, and you're in. You can import members from Excel afterwards.

Can I migrate from Excel or another tool?

Yes. Paak includes a CSV import tool. Export your members from your current system and import them in 5 minutes.

What sports are supported?

21 sports have their rules, scoring and formations built in: soccer, karate (5 styles), judo, martial arts (MMA, BJJ, taekwondo), rugby, handball, basketball, volleyball, hockey, swimming, athletics, gymnastics, tennis, table tennis, badminton, squash, fencing, golf, figure skating, speed skating and sliding sports (bobsleigh/luge/skeleton). Every other sport runs on the core of the software — members, teams, attendance, payments, communication.

Do my members need to create an account?

No. Every member gets a Member space reached through a secure personal link in each club email: schedule and call-ups, fees due and already settled, sporting progress, privacy choices and medical-certificate upload (Paak One and above). No account, no password, no app to download.

Ready to leave the spreadsheet behind?
