What it is

Coordinate Sport is CRM and booking management software for sports clubs, children’s activities, camps, courses, and academy-style organizations. It aims to bring registrations, payments, scheduling, attendance registers, messaging, and reporting into one app, reducing reliance on spreadsheets and manual tracking.

Core capabilities

Based on the available text, the core modules include online booking and payments, on-site walk-in bookings, staff and course scheduling, digital registers, and participation and program impact reporting. The plans also extend to waitlists, messaging, email management, refunds, equipment management, and, in the Pro plan, timesheets, payroll, mileage, custom styling, and Stripe reporting. Explicit third-party integrations include Stripe, Meta Pixel, and Google Analytics.

Pricing and service

Pricing is relatively clear: Essential is £0/month, but charges a 3% + Stripe + 30p transaction fee and is limited to 1 staff member; Advanced is £35/month, with the transaction fee reduced to 2% + Stripe + 30p and support for 25 staff members; Pro is aimed at large, multi-site organizations as well as local authorities/NGBs, and requires a custom quote. The page also states that, after signing and receiving the required data, launch typically takes around 2 weeks, with an internal team supporting onboarding.

Pros and cons

Its strengths are its strong vertical focus and coverage of the main workflows activity providers need, from enrollment and registration through to operational delivery. The free tier lowers the barrier to entry for small clubs and individual coaches. The statements around GDPR compliance and “customer-owned data” are also helpful for procurement evaluation. Limitations include the relatively high transaction fee on the free plan, strong reliance on Stripe for payments, and the lack of visible information on APIs, SSO, granular permissions, self-hosting, or broader security certifications. Its enterprise scalability still needs further verification.

Who it’s for

It is best suited to sports clubs in the UK and supported countries/regions, growing training providers, children’s activity operators, multi-site service providers, and organizations that need to centrally manage course registrations, staff scheduling, and activity data.

Access from China and alternatives

The available text does not disclose access conditions from China, nor does it clarify Stripe availability, local payment support, or Chinese-language support. Organizations in mainland China should therefore test network accessibility, payment collection, and compliance fit before adopting it. Domestic alternatives could include Youzan, Weimob, registration tools within the WeCom/DingTalk ecosystems, or a lightweight setup built from forms, payments, and CRM tools.
