To mark their 10-year anniversary in January 2022, SportsGrid, publishers of the award winning sports technology platform revolutioniseSPORT, are launching a new cloud-based software platform.

The governance of grassroots sports clubs is an ongoing challenge for all sports, and the transfer of knowledge between committee members is a pivotal issue.

Volunteers invest copious amounts of personal time and energy into sporting clubs, but when the time comes, handing over the organisation’s painstakingly and carefully curated assets and processes is often an afterthought. Intellectual property is lost and the knowledge about processes, contacts and how to make the wheels turn is not passed on.

Launching in the first quarter of 2022, the new platform will solve this problem.

As adoption of digital platforms has increased largely in the last 10 years, SportsGrid are looking too extend their reach in further solving roadblocks in the sporting industry by solving this a fundamental problem that afflicts sporting club committees

Advising that clubs are progressively taking up online platforms for managing their sports, and this new platform will facilitate the longevity of club management into the future, SportsGrid Chief Executive, Alex Mednis explaining “with a lot of our staff working in sport-and a number being on committees for almost two decades, we have identified one of the core problems is the loss of knowledge when roles changeover.

“This has been echoed across our experience working with over 14,500 grassroots clubs.

“Our new platform aims to reduce the angst that surrounds AGM time and committee changeovers for sports, and hopes to solve one of the most profound, longest standing issues within sport at any level.”

Cass Simonetti, SportsGrid’s Manager - Digital Product & Innovation, adds “naturally, we want to provide a solution for a problem that sport is all too familiar with.

“We have applied our experience in engineering this platform, to further enable the growth of sporting organisations overall.

“We have developed a volunteer and staff induction platform that integrates with revolutioniseSPORT for existing customers - or can be used without revolutioniseSPORT for the rest of the industry, to skill up new volunteers, transfer knowledge in a handover, and allow existing staff and volunteers to reinforce their knowledge.”

The platform will be officially launched at the SportsGrid 202X conference this week.

A suite of customers have signed on as “launch customers” and will be announced during the event.

revolutioniseSPORT is the industry leader in sports management technology in Australia, servicing over 220 state and national sporting organisations - more than all other sports membership vendors within Australia combined - as well as 14,000 sporting clubs across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Cook Islands and the Asia Pacific.
