AFL club and Auskick program booking software

Junior squads and the girls program

Junior football is split into age groups, and clubs increasingly run parallel girls and boys programs at the same ages. Each group is its own class with its own capacity, price and roster rather than a note beside a shared one. A class that is not running this year can be paused rather than deleted, which keeps its history and its bookings intact, and a class that is genuinely finished is archived instead of removed. That distinction matters when someone asks in three years what a program cost.

Holiday clinics and one-off events

A school-holiday clinic is a run of days rather than a weekly commitment, priced as the whole clinic, per week where it runs across both, or as a day rate where individual days are sold, and the days do not have to be consecutive. A one-off event such as a family day, a come-and-try session or a preseason skills morning is published as a single dated session with its own capacity. If a clinic has to move for heat or ground conditions, it shifts as a whole and every enrolled family is notified and offered a full credit.

Ground and facility hours

Clubs with their own ground, nets, gym or function space can sell those hours as facility hire in half-hour blocks against live availability, with a member rate and a separate evening rate for the hours under lights. A regular hirer can book a repeating slot for up to twelve weeks and cancel the whole series at once. Where a club runs more than one ground, both are managed from a single account with their own settings and their own coordinators.

Talking to a very large club

Communication is the thing that breaks first at this scale. Every program gets its own group chat so a message about the under-elevens goes to the under-elevens, and a club-wide announcement reaches everyone following the club without anyone maintaining a distribution list. Automatic reminders go out a day and an hour before each session. Text messages are reserved for cancellations specifically, which keeps the channel meaningful: if a member gets a text from the club, something has actually changed.

One deposit, one list

Everything paid through the club page across a week arrives as a single transfer the following week, itemised per booking in the dashboard, with Stripe's processing fee absorbed rather than deducted separately. The count shown against a payout is players rather than bookings, which is the number a registrar can check against a roster. For a treasurer, an entire Auskick intake becomes one line to reconcile instead of three hundred.
