Run your club on the go — cricket team management with the CrickTeams mobile app

Club admin doesn’t happen at a desk. It happens in the car park before a match, on the train home, in the ten minutes between getting the kids to bed and finalizing the side for Sunday. So the work has to live where you already are: on your phone.

The CrickTeams mobile app — native on iOS and Android — puts the day-to-day running of your cricket club in your pocket. Managers manage on the move; players actually open it because it’s an app, not a spreadsheet link they ignore. Here’s what you can do from the phone.

See the whole schedule at a glance

Your matches, practices, and tournaments are all in the app. Tap into any one to see the details — opponent, ground, date and time, how many players are needed. Managers can add and edit matches and practices on the spot, so a last-minute fixture change doesn’t mean booting up a laptop. Everyone is looking at the same up-to-date schedule, not a fixture someone forwarded three messages ago.

Availability without the chase

This is the feature that earns its keep. Instead of posting “who’s in?” and counting emoji, every player marks themselves available, not available, or maybe for each match and practice, right from the event in the app.

For managers, that turns availability into a live picture. You can filter the squad by response — available, not available, maybe, or hasn’t replied yet — and search for a specific player, so chasing the silent few is targeted instead of a blanket nag. By the time you sit down to pick the side, you already know who you’ve got.

Reminders that go out on their own

CrickTeams sends the reminders so you don’t have to be the club’s alarm clock. Players get push notifications for upcoming matches and practices, and tapping a notification takes them straight to the right event. Each player controls what they hear about and how, from a notification preferences screen — so the people who want a nudge get one, and nobody feels spammed.

Build the side in the app

When the minimum number of players is in, managers can select the playing XI directly from the match. The app shows your selected count as you go, and once the side is set, both managers and players can view the playing team. Players see whether they made the cut without anyone having to message them. After the match, the lineup stays viewable as a record.

Club chat is here — in beta

Club communication belongs next to club operations, not in a separate chat app. In-app club chat is now rolling out in beta — a club-wide channel, a managers-only channel, and a conversation for every tournament, with the moderation controls managers would expect. Chat respects who’s in which club, so a member in more than one club sees the right conversations and nothing that isn’t theirs. Clubs are being enabled gradually — the Chat guide explains how it works and how to request the beta for your club.

Your dues and your profile, on you

Players can see where they stand on fees and payments from their own profile — a clear indicator of whether they owe anything — without having to ask the treasurer. Cricket profiles are part of it too: playing role, batting and bowling style, wicketkeeper status, so the squad reads like a squad.

If your club uses expense tracking, the app gives players a way in to submit an expense and attach a receipt photo from the phone, so out-of-pocket spending gets logged in the moment rather than forgotten by the time you’re home.

One login, more than one club

Plenty of cricket people play or help run more than one club. The app handles that: a single secure login (CrickTeams uses Auth0 for sign-in), and you switch between your clubs from inside the app. Your schedule and your availability follow the club you’re in.

Web and mobile, in step

The mobile app isn’t a stripped-down afterthought — it’s how the club runs day to day, in sync with the web app. Managers tend to do the heavier setup on the web (building out a season’s fixtures, working through the books) and the everyday running — RSVPs, reminders, lineups — on the phone. Players mostly just need the app.

Get the app

Running a club shouldn’t require being chained to a laptop. Download CrickTeams for iOS or Android, sign in, and run your next match-day from the boundary rope. Sign-up is quick, there’s a free plan to start on, and no credit card to get going. The point of putting the club in your pocket is simple: less chasing, fewer separate apps, and your Saturday evenings back.
