Team

A team is the day-to-day unit for a roster: schedule, games, roster, staff, households, team messages, alerts, and team-scoped payments. A team may stand alone or be linked to a club.

Club

A club is an organization that can contain multiple teams. Club staff get a club dashboard, broadcasts, registration events, club-wide messaging, and club payments. Clubs have their own Stripe subscription, independent of team subscriptions.

Household

A household (family) groups parents and players for messaging and team-scoped payments. The same household can be linked to multiple teams where your family has a roster; the Household screen is the central place to manage members, dependents, and household invite codes across those links. The product does not store a separate household “display name”; grouping is by membership and codes, not a custom label.

Staff / parent / player

• Staff — coaches and managers; can manage schedule, results (scores/outcomes; including Add result for games not on the schedule), roster, payments (where enabled), and settings.
• Parent — guardian linked to a player; uses household and messaging features.
• Player — roster member; may have a dependent workflow for younger athletes.

Broadcast

A broadcast is a club-level announcement with an audience (whole club, selected teams, or roles). Different from team alerts, message threads, and Club Messages (the club dashboard inbox that lists team threads across linked teams).

Registration event

A registration event is a club-published signup form, optionally with Stripe checkout and document uploads, exposed via a public link.

Team subscription / club subscription

Team subscription unlocks the app for a single team’s roster (after checkout). Club subscription unlocks club dashboard features. Paying for one does not automatically cover the other.

Footigan service fee

For online checkouts on Stripe Connect, Footigan may charge a small application (service) fee per payment. Staff can configure whether the household or the team/club pays that fee, where the product allows it.

That fee is not the same as Stripe processing fees (for example, typical US card charges vs US ACH Direct Debit). Stripe’s fees are set by Stripe and affect the connected account’s payout; only the Footigan fee appears as a Footigan-labeled line item at checkout when the organization passes that fee to households.
