This is what a club can do in Squadora. Each line describes something Squadora does now. The last section lists what it does not do.

Online registration for youth soccer clubs

Admins open a registration for a season, camp, clinic, tryout or league, with a fee, a spot limit, a waitlist and a closing date.
A registration fee can be split into 2, 3, 4 or 6 payments.
Parents apply for a program once for each child, sign the required forms and pay.
Admins confirm, waitlist, ask for changes or decline each application, and a registration with a price confirms only after it is paid.
Families get an email when they are confirmed, waitlisted, moved off the waitlist or cancelled.

Clubs build waivers, codes of conduct and custom forms, with short answer, checkbox, typed signature and choice fields.
A form goes to the whole club or to one team, and a tracker shows who still has to sign.
A registration can require families to sign chosen forms before they register.
Parents see their pending and signed forms and sign with a typed name.
On the web, a signed form downloads as a PDF.
A parent can ask the club to reopen a signed form to correct it.

Families get day and week views, filtered by child and team, with a warning when two children are due in different places at the same time.
Parents answer going, not going or maybe, with a note.
Coaches see running RSVP counts for each event, and staff get a notice when a child is marked unavailable.
An attendance register puts families' answers beside present, late, absent or excused marks.
A calendar link keeps a phone calendar up to date by itself.
Parents get an RSVP reminder 24 hours before the answer is due.

Coaches drag players onto a pitch in formations from 4-3-3 and 4-4-2 down to 2-3-1 for seven-a-side, then publish when the lineup is ready.
Families see the published lineup on a read-only pitch.
Staff start a match, adjust the score, call full time and send the result for sign-off.
Between two clubs, the home club signs the result and the visitor confirms it or sends it back.
On the web desk, staff add goals, penalties, own goals and cards with the minute and the scorer, and the score moves with them.
Standings are worked out from signed-off results only.
Families get kickoff and full-time notices in the app.
Coaches can switch on play time tracking for a team: a match clock, substitutions and each player's season minutes, visible to coaches only.

A club can run a league: other clubs enter teams, the host approves them, and divisions are set by age, sex and level.
Tournaments can be knockout, groups then knockout, or round robin, with seeding and round-one fixtures drawn from the seeding.
A coach enters a competition by pasting the host's link, picking a team and a division, and paying the entry fee.
Fixtures, scores, brackets and tables for a league or tournament have public pages that anyone can open without signing in.

Clubs take card payments and receive payouts through their own Stripe account.
Parents see the exact price first, pay by card on a page hosted by Stripe, and get a receipt by email.
A family can pay all its open charges at one club in a single checkout.
Treasurers can split a charge into 2, 3, 4 or 6 payments.
Parents can agree to autopay for a charge: the default saved card is charged when the charge falls due within two days, and autopay stops after three failed attempts.
Treasurers can set a sibling discount, as a percent or as dollars off each additional child.
Treasurers review refunds, approve or decline them with a note, and send approved refunds to Stripe.
Treasurers can issue a credit to a payer, and the family spends it, oldest first, at its next payment.
Parents can ask for financial aid on a charge, and the treasurer approves or declines the request.
Treasurers see who owes what and can send a reminder, once every 24 hours for each charge.
Treasurers can export payments and a ledger of money events as CSV files.

A child chats only with staff or their own guardians, and every guardian is added to the chat.
A parent can invite a second guardian with set permissions for the schedule, RSVPs, messaging and payments, and the club approves the invitation.
Second guardians wait in a queue until the club approves or declines them.
At 18, a guardian's access ends and the player's own account takes over.
Squadora has 12 roles, enforced by database rules and not only by the screens, and staff can be limited to the teams they are assigned.
Members can report or block a message, and a screening step hides messages that match a word list or off-platform contact patterns and opens a review.
Once a birth date is set it is locked, and a parent asks the club to correct it.
Safeguarding notes are visible only to the club owner and admins.
A child moves to another club only when both clubs approve.

Admins import a roster from CSV, Excel or pasted rows, map the columns, review duplicates and create the teams named, up to 500 players a file.
Season rollover copies teams into the next season one year older, and can move the players and archive the old teams.
Age groups follow an August 1 to July 31 cycle.
A registration with a spot limit keeps a waitlist, and families get an email when they move off it.

Club owners and admins export CSV files for people, registrations, forms and payments, with no medical data and no card details.
Any user can download their own data, and the data of the children they guard.
Any user can delete their account in the app, with a 30-day grace period before the data is purged.

Squadora has team chat, a club channel and direct messages.
Admins write an announcement once, choose the audience by role and team, send it now or schedule it, and it goes out by email and in the app.
A delivery report shows how many messages reached the mail service and how many failed.

Squadora has no player development tools: no coaching curriculum, no player evaluations and no player stats.
Squadora has no club website builder.
Squadora has no livestreaming, sponsor management, uniform store, referee assignment, background checks or field booking with conflict checks.
Squadora sends no text messages.
Squadora does not record cash or check payments.
Families pay by card. Bank payments are not offered.
Besides the sibling discount, Squadora has no discount codes for families.
Squadora cannot set up monthly recurring dues. A charge can be split into 2, 3, 4 or 6 payments instead.
