Your club deserves more than a notice board and a Facebook group
Most Kiwi sports clubs lose members because people can't find them, can't register online, or can't figure out the schedule. We build you a proper website in a single day.

The problem with running a club offline
New Zealand has over 14,000 sports clubs, and the vast majority are still running on Facebook groups, word of mouth, and photocopied sign-up sheets. When a parent searches "kids rugby club near me" or "gym in [your town]," clubs without a website simply don't exist.
Sport NZ's research consistently shows that participation barriers are often informational — people want to play, but they can't find session times, don't know how to register, or aren't sure if the club caters to their age or skill level. A clear website removes every one of those barriers.
The real cost isn't the website — it's the members you're already losing. Every season without an online presence is another family that joined a different club because they could actually find it on Google. For gyms and recreation businesses, it's even more direct: no website means no bookings, no class sign-ups, and no way to compete with the franchise down the road.
What you get in a day
Mobile-first club website
Designed for how members actually browse — on their phones, between games. Fast loading, clean layout, easy to find what matters: schedules, locations, contacts.
Registration & sign-up forms
Online member registration that captures the details you need — age groups, experience level, medical info, emergency contacts. No more paper forms.
Schedule & fixtures display
A clear, up-to-date view of training times, match fixtures, and event dates. Easy for you to update and easy for members to check.
Sponsor showcase
A dedicated area for club sponsors and partners with logos and links. Helps you attract and retain sponsorship by offering genuine digital visibility.
Google Maps & local search
Connected to Google Business so your club appears in local searches and Maps. People searching for sports in your area will find you first.
Hosting & domain setup
We handle domain registration, hosting, SSL, and email. You walk away with a live, professional website by end of day.
How the day works
Morning brief
We jump on a call at 8am with your club manager or committee rep. You tell us about your club, your teams, and what makes you special. Takes about 30 minutes.
Design & build
Our team builds your site while you get on with your day. We use your photos, your colours, your sponsors' logos, and your voice to create something authentic.
Review at lunch
Around midday we send a preview link. You and your committee check it on your phones. Tell us what to change — we turn it around in the afternoon.
Live by 5pm
By the end of the working day, your website is live. Registration forms working, schedule published, Google listing updated. You're online for the next season.
What changes after launch
Found by new members
Your club appears in local search results when families and individuals are looking for sports and recreation options in your area.
Higher registrations
Online sign-up removes friction. Clubs typically see 20-40% more registrations in their first season with a proper website and online forms.
Less admin for volunteers
Digital registration and schedule publishing means less time on emails, phone calls, and chasing paper forms — freeing up volunteers for actual club activities.
Stronger sponsor value
Sponsors get real digital exposure instead of just a banner at the grounds. That makes sponsorship easier to sell and easier to renew.
Frequently asked questions
Absolutely. We build on platforms that are as easy as posting to Facebook. If your club secretary can send an email, they can update the website. And we're always available if you get stuck.
The Build in a Day site includes registration forms. For online payment processing, we can add a simple Stripe or bank transfer integration. If you need a full membership management system, that's where our Grow or Scale services come in.
Yes. Facebook doesn't appear reliably in Google searches, you can't control the layout, and you're at the mercy of algorithm changes. A website is your home base. Facebook is a channel — not a replacement.
Especially for small clubs. You're competing for members with larger organisations that already have websites. Regional sports trusts and Sport NZ funding often look for clubs with a digital presence too.
Domain and hosting typically run around $25-40/month. No lock-in contracts. We also offer Sant Cloud plans if you want ongoing support and regular updates.
If you're using SportLoMo, GameDay, or similar platforms, we can link to them from your site. For deeper integration — like pulling live results or syncing registrations — that's something we'd tackle through our Grow service.
