Clubs, meetups and community groups
A community group lists events, signs up volunteers and talks on a board.
Sports clubs and youth leagues
Players register and pay on a form, and parents say who can play in each match. Coaches see their sessions, and kit sells from the club shop.
The committee and coaches work in one Magpie team. Players and parents use the forms, match pages and shop you publish.

Players register for the season on a form, and pay the fee as they send it.
Forms builds the registration form, with the questions you choose, such as the player's age group. Every response comes into one list you can export.
A form can require a payment, the same amount for every response. Parents pay by card, into the club's own Stripe account.
Each match has its own page, and parents say who can play.
Calendar holds fixtures and training. Each event can be on the club's public calendar, with its time and location.
Parents reply Going or Not going, up to a squad size you set. You see every reply. Each session is its own event, added for each date.
Coaches and referees see their sessions, and an open slot finds a volunteer.
Staff Scheduling plans the week by role, such as coach, referee and grounds. Each volunteer you invite sees their own sessions, and can ask for a swap.
An open slot shows a session that still needs someone. A qualification, such as a coaching badge, can carry its expiry date.
The kit sells from the club's own shop, in every size.
Store is the club's online shop. A shirt has a size for each option, with its own stock. Parents can collect an order at the club, or have it delivered.
Buyers pay by card into the club's Stripe account, with no Magpie fee.
Players and parents hear the club news by email.
Newsletter keeps the club's mailing list, with double opt-in on its sign-up page. You write each issue, send yourself a test and schedule it.
Checkout in the club shop can ask buyers to join the list.
Coaches book the pitches and courts for their sessions.
Resource Booking holds each pitch and court with its open hours and rules. Members of your team book them, and a booking can need an admin's approval.
Other people's bookings show as Busy. A report shows how much each pitch is used.
Four more areas cover equipment, talk between matches, supporters and contacts.
- Asset Tracker
- Asset Tracker lends out nets, goals and bibs, with due dates.
- Message Boards
- Message Boards gives parents and players a board to talk on.
- Supporters
- Supporters lets families and local businesses support the club every month.
- Contacts
- Contacts keeps sponsors, other clubs and the league's officials.

Setting up takes four steps.

Plans
A club fits the Team plan. Each coach or volunteer you invite to see their sessions joins the team. Each takes a member place.
Players and parents who register, reply or buy kit are not added to the team. Magpie's fee on a paid form is 1%, and it adds no fee to shop sales. Prices are on the Pricing page.
Other clubs and groups have pages of their own.
Gyms, climbing gyms and boxing clubs
A gym runs classes, members and the front desk.
Small nonprofits and charities
A nonprofit takes monthly support and runs its programmes.
