Built for Indian football academys
Everything your football academy needs
Memberships, scheduling, payments, and WhatsApp reminders — designed for how studios in India actually operate.
Age-group squads with capacity caps
Run U-8, U-10, U-12, U-14 and senior squads with a cap per batch so a Saturday grassroots slot never over-books. Head and assistant coaches see the calendar from one view.
Term fees, kit charges and camps in one ledger
Quarterly coaching, monthly training-only plans, summer camps and one-off kit or tournament-entry charges live under one athlete. Every payment is GST-receipt ready.
Athlete CRM for parents and players
Guardian contacts, dues, attendance and active squads live in one profile. Front-desk answers 'is this term paid?' without hunting WhatsApp groups.
WhatsApp reminders before term fees lapse
Automated WhatsApp nudges go out before enrollments expire and again when overdue — parents pay on time without an uncomfortable chase.
Coach logins scoped to their squads
Head coaches see the full academy view; assistant coaches see only their age group and mark attendance from the ground. Finance stays owner-only.
Attendance trends per player
Spot a player who has missed three consecutive sessions before selection or tournament week, so you can call the parent while the enrollment is still active.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers for football academy owners comparing software in India.
Which business type should a football club pick in Centrl?
Choose Sports Academy at onboarding. The dashboard uses Athletes, Coaches, Batches, Enrollments and Sessions — the same vocabulary used by cricket, basketball and other sports clubs.
Does the football academy management software cap squad size?
Yes. Set a capacity on every batch so a peak-slot U-10 or U-12 squad never over-books. Ground-slot booking continues to expand on our roadmap.
Can I run grassroots, competitive and adult squads together?
Yes. Unlimited squads under one club, each with its own coach, timetable and fee plan, sharing one athlete database.
How are kit, camp and tournament fees handled?
Record one-time charges for kits, summer camps or tournament entries alongside regular term fees. They appear in the player's payment history with their own GST receipts.
Is there a free trial for football academies?
Yes — 14 days free, no payment card required. Import athletes, set squads and test WhatsApp reminders before choosing a plan.
