Why centralise coaching, leagues, matches and venues?

Most clubs juggle multiple spreadsheets, messaging apps and ad-hoc forms. It’s slow, error-prone and hard to report on. Clubnest consolidates your coaching sessions, leagues, match days, venues and species library into one workflow that is designed for angling. Add your users, manage junior profiles with guardian links, and keep everything auditable for safeguarding and GDPR.

  • Calendar-first planning with coach rosters and venue availability.
  • Leagues with points, sections and auto standings.
  • Match admin: peg draws, weigh sheets and result publishing.
  • Accurate venue pages with pegs, access notes and methods.
  • Standardised species names for clean results and records.
  • Junior/parent accounts with consent, contacts and attendance.

Built around real club workflows

Create a season in minutes: add venues, drop in your match series, slot in coaching blocks and publish a clean “What’s On” to your website. When anglers book or results are entered, everything updates automatically.

The pillars of Fishing Management

Coaching Sessions

Plan blocks, set capacities, assign coaches and publish to your site. Registers, consent flags and emergency contacts are available to authorised staff. Attendance exports help with funding and safeguarding reports.

  • Waitlists & auto-notify
  • Mobile registers
  • Consent capture

Fishing Leagues

Create points-based or weight-based leagues. Configure sections, drops (discarded worst results), and team/individual scoring. Publish live tables to your website with automatic tiebreakers.

  • Auto standings
  • Rules & tiebreakers
  • Teams & individuals

Fishing Matches

Build fixtures with check-in/out times, pools, pools-opt-in, peg ranges and method restrictions. Generate peg draws, weigh sheets and instant result summaries.

  • Peg draw tools
  • Weigh-in capture
  • Auto publish results

Venues

Rich venue records with banks, pegs, access notes, parking, toilets, accessibility and seasonal rules. Tie venues to tickets/permits and matches; publish attractive venue pages on your website.

  • Peg maps & ranges
  • Accessibility notes
  • Method restrictions

Manage Species

A standardised species library improves results entry, catch records and education content. Add aliases (e.g., “silvers”), typical sizes and notes for juniors. Keep images consistent for the website.

  • Aliases & education notes
  • Consistent imagery
  • Linked to matches & catches

Users Registered

A clean CRM for anglers, volunteers and officials. View activity (bookings, permits, results), manage consents, and segment for newsletters or league invites.

  • Segmentation & tags
  • Comms history
  • GDPR exports

Juniors

Dedicated junior profiles with age-based eligibility, safeguarding notes (role-restricted), medical details and progress tracking from coaching to competition.

  • Safeguarding fields
  • Progress milestones
  • Permit links & QR checks

Users / Parents

Link guardians to juniors, manage emergency contacts and consent records, and let families book multiple children in one flow. Keep communication transparent and respectful.

  • Guardian linking
  • Contacts & preferences
  • Consent history

Coaching Sessions that scale

Create weekly blocks or seasonal programmes with ease. Add topics (rig building, watercraft, safe handling), attach risk assessments, and pre-assign loan kits. The register shows attendance and consent flags; coaches can add quick notes that roll up into a learner timeline. Export attendance for funders or award schemes.

  • Capacity controls, waitlists and auto-reminders
  • Coach/assistant roles with task checklists
  • Session templates for repeatable quality

Leagues with flexible scoring

Configure league rules once: section points, weight points, or hybrids. Define discards (“drop two”), tiebreakers (highest weight, head-to-head), and whether peg draws are static or rotating. As results are entered from each match, standings recalc automatically and publish to your website with one click.

  • Team leagues (club vs club) and individual series
  • Junior-only tables and combined leaderboards
  • CSV export for historic archives

Match days made smooth

Build fixtures with check-in time, draw method, pools and optional add-ons (charity pools, golden peg). Generate pegging plans and mobile weigh sheets; enter weights in lb/oz/dr or metric, with automatic conversion. Results publish to the website and league standings, and can trigger newsletters or social posts.

  • Abandoned/postponed flows and rescheduling
  • Section/zone winners and optional super pools
  • Officials’ notes with audit trail

Venues that inform and inspire

Venue pages carry the information anglers actually need: parking, access gates, platform numbers, typical methods, species mix and seasonal notes. Tie venues to tickets/permits so eligibility and rules are clear on both the website and the QR check screen used by bailiffs.

  • Per-peg ranges, disabled-friendly pegs and notes
  • Maps, emergency rendezvous points and contacts
  • Venue-specific method restrictions & closed periods

Species library with education baked in

The species library standardises names and ensures consistent results entry. Add guidance for juniors on identification, handling and return. When a catch or match result references a species, your reporting stays clean and your education content stays accurate.

  • Aliases (e.g., “silvers”) mapped to canonical names
  • Typical sizes by venue for realism in coaching targets
  • Photography guidelines for submissions

Users, Juniors & Parents

A single household view links a parent/guardian to one or more juniors. Consent, medical notes (role-restricted), booking history and permits are visible together. Families can book multiple children into coaching or matches in one flow; receipts and reminders are consolidated to avoid inbox overload.

  • Data minimisation for junior checks and public views
  • GDPR exports and subject access flows
  • Newsletters and event invites by segment

  • Data minimisation in public/QR views

Accessible by design

Clear contrasts, keyboard-friendly forms and print-ready sheets keep officials effective on the bank.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need separate tools for leagues and matches?
No — leagues, matches and results live in the same module. A match can belong to a league, and results update standings automatically with your configured rules.
How do you handle juniors and guardians?
Families use guardian-led accounts. Juniors have role-restricted safeguarding and medical fields, and bookings, permits and results appear in their timeline with audit logs.
Can venues show accessibility info and pegs?
Yes. Add peg numbers, accessible pegs, parking, toilets, entry instructions and seasonal method rules. These appear on the website and inform bookings and matches.
Do you support lb/oz/dr and metric?
Absolutely. Enter in imperial (including drams) or metric; we’ll convert and display consistently across results, league tables and reports.
