Preparing Your Football Club For The New Season

Pre-season is the most chaotic time in the grassroots football calendar — and the most important. Get the basics right between now and August and the rest of the season runs itself.

Sort The Kit Order Now

Confirm sizes, lock in sponsor logos, get the order placed. Leave it any later and you'll be paying express fees to make week one of the season.

Update Your Player Database

Names, dates of birth, contact details, medical info, photo consent. One shared spreadsheet, kept up to date, saves countless headaches across the season.

Renew Sponsors And Add New Ones

Talk to last season's sponsors first — renewals are far easier than new sign-ups. Then send out three new sponsor pitches a week using the Hackin Sponsor Pack Generator.

Open The Club Shop

A Hackin club shop lets parents and players order training wear, accessories and bonus kit pieces directly. The club takes a margin on every sale and nobody on the committee has to handle money.

Plan The Season Calendar

Fixtures, training nights, tournaments, fundraising events, presentation night. Put them all in one shared calendar and share it with parents on day one.
