We're coaches, technologists and passionate anglers building the platform we wished existed when we started running junior sessions. ClubNest is free, powerful, and gives back to grassroots angling with every transaction.
We built ClubNest while running junior coaching sessions and quickly realised clubs were juggling WhatsApp groups, paper forms and spreadsheets. Important details were missed; coaches spent more time on admin than actually helping young anglers improve.
What began as a simple junior management tool evolved through conversations with club secretaries, coaches, bailiffs and match organisers across the country. The same challenges kept surfacing everywhere: registrations, safeguarding, communications, payments, and permits.
Through real-world testing, continuous feedback and hundreds of conversations with volunteers, ClubNest became a complete digital toolkit — memberships, QR permits, coaching bookings, match management, content tools, reporting, and much more.
Today ClubNest powers digital operations for clubs across the UK, from 15-member junior groups to associations with thousands of members and dozens of waters.
Born from running real coaching sessions and seeing the admin struggle first-hand.
Shaped by real feedback from club secretaries, coaches, bailiffs and match organisers across the UK.
Memberships, permits, matches, coaching, CMS, payments — all unified.
Every transaction processed helps fund junior angling programmes nationwide.
Whether you're managing juniors, matches, venues, tickets or coaching — clubs deserve powerful tools without needing a full IT department. We believe technology should serve the sport, not complicate it.
100% free if your club doesn't charge members. Only 5% on transactions when you do.
Half our transaction revenue is reinvested into grassroots junior angling across the UK.
No member caps, no ticket limits, no feature tiers. Every club gets full access to every tool.
Built ground-up for angling — not adapted from generic club software. Every feature exists because a real club asked for it.
Session notes, attendance registers, junior progress tracking, consent management and parent communications — all at a glance.
Coaching sign-ups, match fixtures with digital peg draws, weigh-ins, rota scheduling — all connected in one system.
Issue scannable permits and membership cards. Bailiffs validate lakeside — works offline and with Google/Apple Wallet.
Parents manage multiple juniors under one account with individual consent trails, medical notes and safeguarding records.
Beautiful, SEO-optimised microsites with blog tools, page builder, custom domains and automatic schema markup.
Stripe-powered memberships, renewals, tickets, bookings and donations with instant receipts and optional instalments.
Capture exactly what your club needs — medical info, emergency contacts, skill levels, dietary requirements and more.
Track equipment, consumables and tackle with usage logs, condition tracking and low-stock alerts.
Role permissions, data retention controls, incident records, audit trails and parental consent flows built in from day one.
Eleven years strong, still growing participation in youth angling across Somerset.
Community-driven club with a busy match calendar and hundreds of active members.
Sea coaching and guided sessions along the South West coast.
Fishing for mental health, community impact, and social prescribing programmes.
A small, passionate team of anglers and technologists building tools that matter.
