Team managers, club secretaries, players and parents are using the FA Whole Game System to make off-pitch grassroots football faster and more effective, all in one place online.
Whole Game is currently helping to speed up club data processes for volunteers such as player contacts, qualifications, discipline records, and much more.
This has been welcomed by managers and secretaries when it comes to club admin and monitoring player availability.
They only have to input a player’s details once, and the system fully integrates with both FA Full-Time and the Matchday app, to make access and management of information simple.
With Whole Game, clubs save time and money. It’s completely free of charge to use and it provides access to special offers, plus other exciting opportunities:
*all club data in one safe place, including affiliation, discipline, players, club officials, safeguarding and more
*easily accessible information on clubs and players, to make club matchday admin quicker and easier
*integrated with FA Full-Time and the Matchday app
*can use PayPal to reduce costs and enable cashless matchdays for managers, players or parents of Under 16s footballers
*tailored offers from FA partners (via an opt-in)
*it’s completely free of charge
Registering player emails helps keep everyone connected. Whole Game is designed to ensure clubs, leagues, managers, players and parents can all receive news and updates as soon as they need them.
From match reports to messages from the manager for players, through to rule changes and important FA and County FA announcements, Whole Game ensures nothing is missed.
Paying fees and managing payments is also easier than ever thanks to Matchday’s built-in PayPal function, and all data is safely managed to GDPR-compliant standards.
Registering players with their email address will give them and their clubs the best experience and youth players (under 16 years) can be linked to their parent or guardian’s FAN account.
