Groups

Once you're set up on the Spond app, the first thing you need to do is add your groups. Groups are the core of the Spond app. In most cases, a group will be a team and the individuals associated with it, such as admins and coaches. You can also create subgroups to help organise your groups and communicate more effectively.

Each team should always be set up as a Group
Subgroups can communicate exclusively with each other
Subgroups can ask each other for players to step in if they are missing players, or have other requests
All your group members will be part of the main group, even though they are distributed to their relevant subgroups
A single user can be added to multiple subgroups at the same time

Adding Members

As a Spond admin, you can invite members to join Spond in the app or use the web interface, with space for 500 members in each group. It only takes a few minutes and, once your members have signed up, your life as an admin will be 100 times easier.

Upload members quickly and simply with Spond's bespoke Excel template
Add custom member fields consisting such as a player's position, shirt number or medical history
Invite new members by sharing your unique group link URL
Set an automated reminder for members who have not signed up to Spond within 48 hours after the invite went out

Parents & Guardians

The Spond platform has been designed with parental oversight and safeguarding in mind. As a parent guardian with kids using Spond, you can manage all of your children’s invitations and have full control over their interactions and responses to events.

Parents and guardians can reply to events that their child has been invited to, and receive push notifications when new information is added to the group.
Decide whether your child should receive notifications, or if you want to receive them on their behalf. You will always be copied into anything they receive
Parents or guardians can respond to invitations for themselves, as well as the children.
Parents or guardians can add other guardians and edit their child’s profile.
There’s no limit to the number of guardians, kids or groups you can manage in the app

Availability Requests

Spond's availability tool allows you to put out a request for player availability on a certain date, which is really useful if you have multiple groups or teams that you will allocate based on who is available.

This tool is useful if you want to see availability before setting up a match
The request will only be visible to the recipients you have selected
Remember to set the date and time you want to check the availability for
You can send a reminder to non-responders
Admins can see all availability requests made in the group event list, even if they are not the sender or an invitee

Events

Creating an event in Spond is simple and straightforward, taking just a couple of minutes to set up and share. The Events feature can be used for anything from matches to training sessions and social events, with the option to set up recurring events and add payment requests in the Spond app.

The event setting allows you to set the meet-up time before the event starts
You decide if attended for a recurring event will be automatically marked as attending, or if they need to confirm each time
Admins can manually change participants' responses without demanding a fee, for example, if someone has paid cash or called to say they can't make it
When the maximum number of attendees is reached, the next ones who sign up will be put on a waiting list. If a space becomes vacant, the first person on the waiting list will receive a notification.
Spond offers different event types; single events, repeating events, season planner, and time poll events.

Payments

The Spond app comes complete with the ability to request and process payments for your groups. Payments can be requested for anything from membership dues to match fees or kit, and it's all processed within the app, where you can log all incoming payments and send reminders for those outstanding.

All payments are processed safely and securely by Spond's long-time payment processing partner, Stripe.
If you want to collect money for a trip, annual membership fee or new uniforms, you can create payment requests for specific group or subgroups.
You can add a description, a due date and specify whether the payment is mandatory or optional.
You can set one amount, or add multiple options with different prices and quantities.
