For cricket clubs

The cricket club app that survives the British summer.

Cricket lives or dies on Saturday-morning weather calls, the captain chasing eleven, and a WhatsApp group that turns into spam by Tuesday. Comnly gives the cricket committee structured match availability, weather-call notices, league subs and tea-rota coordination, all in one feed your members carry in their pocket. When the pitch is unplayable at nine in the morning, one critical notice reaches the entire squad before they pack the car.

  • Match availability and squad selection
  • Weather-call critical notices
  • Match fees and league subs via Stripe
  • XI-by-XI targeting
  • Push notifications to every player

Real scenarios

Where Comnly earns its place

Saturday-morning weather calls

Outfield waterlogged, rain forecast, opposition pulling out. Send a critical notice that pushes to the named XI and requires acknowledgement, so the captain knows who has seen the call before they leave the house.

1st XI, 2nd XI, Sundays, midweek

Target availability requests and selection posts by side. The 1st XI does not need to see Sunday social fixtures, and the midweek XI stays on its own thread.

Match fees, league subs, and tea money

Attach a Stripe payment link to the season-subs notice, the away-game match fee post, or the tea rota contribution. Payments land directly in the club's own Stripe account. Comnly takes no commission on the payment.

Features you will use

Built for the way your group actually runs

Push notifications to the whole squad

Selection, weather calls, fixture changes, and committee notices land as pushes from the club. Players actually see them.

Availability and selection in one place

Ask the squad for availability for the next four weeks of fixtures, see the responses in one view, and post the selected XI when ready. RSVP totals are visible to ordinary members; names stay restricted to captains and committee.

Acknowledgement for safeguarding and conduct notices

ECB rule updates, safeguarding briefings, and code-of-conduct reminders can be marked critical so members must explicitly acknowledge them, with a timestamped audit trail for the committee.

Payment links for any post

Season subs, match fees, end-of-season tour deposits, club dinner tickets, sponsored events. Payments route directly to the club's connected Stripe account with no Comnly commission.

Fixtures, nets, and socials in one calendar

Saturday fixtures, Sunday friendlies, midweek matches, winter nets, and end-of-season dinner all sit on one calendar with RSVP and reminders the morning of and a couple of hours before.

Turnout and availability analytics

See which players are saying yes and not turning up, which fixtures pulled the strongest availability, and which members are quietly drifting before they go quiet for good.

FAQ

Common questions

Does Comnly handle multiple sides from one club?

Yes. Target availability requests, selection posts, and notices by side, so the 1st XI, 2nd XI, Sundays, and midweek XI each only see what is relevant. Critical clubwide notices still reach everyone.

Can captains and the fixture secretary post without full admin access?

Yes. Comnly supports scoped admin permissions. You can let a captain post availability requests and selection updates without giving them billing or member-management authority.

Can we collect match fees and league subs?

Yes. Attach Stripe payment links to any post. Payments route directly to the club's own connected Stripe account, with no Comnly commission. Stripe charges its standard processing fee separately.

Does Comnly cover junior or colts sections?

Comnly accounts remain 18+ only: junior and colts players do not get their own app login, profile, or device. An adult member can, however, add a junior to their own membership as a sub-record and choose to follow the club's colts and junior section interests on the junior's behalf. The parent then receives push notifications about junior fixtures, training, and notices through their own adult account. Comnly does not provide a separate junior-facing experience or under-18 safeguarding workflows.

Will Comnly send weather-call notices in time?

Yes. Critical notices send immediately as a push notification to every player on the named XI. The captain can see who has acknowledged the call before the team meets.

How quickly can we onboard the squad?

Most clubs are live in under an hour. Pin a QR poster in the pavilion, share a join link in the existing WhatsApp once, and let players self-onboard. No admin data entry, no ghost rows.

Why are we struggling to get eleven on a Saturday?

Saturday availability usually drops not because players don't want to play, but because the captain is chasing each one by WhatsApp three times a week and players are losing track of which fixtures they've replied to. Clubs that get availability back up centralise it: one ask per fixture, one tap to confirm, one reminder the night before, and one visible list of who's in. Critical weather calls go out as push notifications first thing on Saturday morning so nobody packs the car for nothing. Comnly handles that; team selection is still the captain's call.
