Click through Medalyst the way your admins, coaches and parents would use it.
Membership fees that remind people for you
Administrators create the fees in Medalyst, either for the whole team or for individual players. Athletes or parents pay by card through Stripe. Medalyst tracks every payment, so the treasurer always knows who has paid and who still owes.
The system also sends automatic reminders about fees that are coming due. The treasurer sees the whole season in one place, with financial reports ready when the committee asks.
Give children written feedback after training
Let your coaches write down what each child worked on and how they are developing, straight after the session. Make the note visible to the team, or share it privately with the parents.
Parents see the progress their children are making, and you can follow how the children are developing across every age group.
- Written feedback per child
- Private notes for the parents
- Photos attached to any note
- Full feedback history on the athlete profile
Track all of your club’s gear in one place
Let your staff hand gear out to a whole team or to one player in a few clicks. Keep track of which items are in stock, which items are out with which teams, and which items are due back.
So every set of bibs, balls and kit stays accounted for as it moves between your training venues.
- Stock counts and locations for every item
- Handout to a whole team or to selected athletes
- Pickup confirmed by the athlete in the mobile app
- Available, issued and due back items in one view
Which one fits your club?
ClubZap is a strong choice for GAA and other Irish clubs whose priorities are membership renewals, recurring payments and a weekly club lotto. It syncs members with Foireann, includes a club website in its Engage plan, and tracks Garda vetting and safeguarding for coaches.
Medalyst fits best when a club coordinates several teams and age groups, collects membership fees across the season, and wants coaches, parents and administrators working from the same records. Administrators work in the web app, coaches manage their teams from the mobile app, and athletes and parents see everything in one place on their own phone.
