Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from SportsEngine
Can we run multiple teams or age groups under one club?▼
Yes — Clubs plan supports unlimited sub-clubs / squads / age groups (U10s, U12s, U14s, etc.) under a single club admin. Each has its own roster, fixture schedule, and captain. Single billing, single dashboard.
What about livestream or video features?▼
Clubs plan focuses on coordination (fixtures, dues, communication) and doesn't include native livestream. Most clubs use YouTube Live or Twitch alongside Who's In, with the stream link added to the fixture description.
Does it integrate with league federation registration?▼
Clubs plan handles internal club workflow (subs, fixtures, communication). Federation registration typically happens directly with the federation. CSV export of your roster makes federation submissions a clean copy-paste.
How does cost compare for a 150-member multi-team club?▼
SportsEngine: ~$120-180/mo depending on tier and team count. Who's In Clubs: $8.25/mo flat. Difference: $1,200-2,000+/year. At 250+ members the gap widens further.
How long is the migration from SportsEngine?▼
Most clubs complete in 4-6 hours given the multi-team complexity. Export rosters, schedules, and active subs from SportsEngine. Set up sub-club structure in Who's In. Members get one-time email with new club page link.
