Groundr is the all-in-one platform built for English grassroots football leagues. Fixtures, referee allocation, cup draws, team sheets, payments, and a full website for every club — one platform, properly made.
League secretaries spend 10+ hours a week on admin — juggling Full-Time, Centre Circle, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets. Referees miss allocations. Clubs chase fees by text. Nobody has time for the game itself.
Groundr connects every role in grassroots football — league managers, referees, clubs, coaches, players and parents — so the game runs itself.
The unpaid volunteer spending every Sunday on admin. Groundr cuts their workload in half — fixtures auto-generate, refs are allocated with one click, payments chase themselves.
