Soccer club volunteer management

Volunteer management software for soccer clubs

Miniroos in the morning, seniors in the afternoon, several pitches going at once. VolunTeam gives your soccer club one roster covering every pitch, every kick-off and every canteen block.

  • Ground, goal and nets setup per pitch
  • Canteen and BBQ blocks across the day
  • Ground marshals and assistant referees
  • Reminders, swap requests and hours tracking

Soccer volunteer roles you can roster

Numbers are a guide only — set your own slots, names and times to match how your club runs.

Every pitch on one page

Name each slot with the pitch and kick-off so volunteers can match their shift to their child's game. Setup and pack-down get their own roles, which is usually where clubs lose the most goodwill when it falls to the same two people.

  • Named jobs per pitch and kick-off time
  • Separate setup and pack-down roles
  • Public sign-up page plus QR code for the clubrooms

Coaches and managers counted properly

Coaches and team managers put in hours every week that never appear on a Saturday roster. Add them as season positions with allocated weekly hours so their contribution shows up in your reporting and awards.

  • Season positions with weekly hour accrual
  • Templates you can reuse for each age group
  • Hours feed the leaderboard and Volunteer of the Month

Chase the gaps, not the whole club

Filter your member list and message only the people who haven't taken a shift yet, by email or SMS. Everyone who is rostered gets an automatic reminder with an add-to-calendar file.

Common questions

Can we roster different age groups separately?

Yes. Use named slots or separate opportunities per age group, and volunteers filter to what's relevant to them on your public club page.

Does it work for midweek jobs like line marking?

Any job on any date can be an opportunity, so midweek line marking, working bees and clubroom cleans sit on the same roster as match day.
