Ovalis

For the people who run rugby clubs

Rugby club management. Less admin.

Ovalis puts the club back in one place, so the volunteers running it spend less time keeping everything stitched together.

Saturday looks after itself. It is the rest of the week that needs the help.

The problem

The volunteer shouldn’t be the middleware.

Membership lives in one place. Availability somewhere else. Team changes happen on WhatsApp. Somebody updates the website. Somebody else records the match.

Somewhere in the middle, a volunteer holds it all together.

How Ovalis handles rugby club management

A club secretary at a paper-covered desk, annotating a printed member list by hand. Receipts, a calculator, keys and a laptop surround him; a whiteboard of Saturday fixtures is on the wall behind.
This is the middleware. A printed list, a biro, and the answers that exist nowhere except in one person’s head.

One rugby week

One rugby week. One system.

  1. Monday

    Ask who is available.

  2. Tuesday

    Watch the squad take shape.

  3. Thursday

    Pick the teams. Send the details to the right people.

  4. Saturday

    Confirm the side and record what happens.

  5. Full time

    The result and the appearances are already where they belong.

One week. No spreadsheets. No group chat archaeology.

Built by

People who have actually run clubs.

Ovalis is built by two people who have run teams and clubs, and who have done the Thursday-night selection and the September membership chase themselves.
