School sports management softwareSport teams. Cultural programmes. One platform.

40 sport teams. 15 cultural groups. 3 terms. Sportivo connects fixtures, Eisteddfod entries, choir rehearsals, coach communications and parent updates in one place — so nothing falls through the gap between sport and culture.

The same admin problem runs through every sport team and every cultural group. Sportivo solves it once, for all of them.

Most schools manage sport and culture the same way they did twenty years ago. Separately, manually, and in too many places at once.

You have forty sport teams and fifteen cultural groups. Fixtures, rehearsal schedules, Eisteddfod entries, transport, coaches, parents — spread across spreadsheets, emails and WhatsApp groups. Nothing connected. Everything duplicated.

A fixture changes on Wednesday afternoon. You spend Thursday morning calling coaches, messaging managers, and updating four separate documents. A parent still pitches up at the wrong venue.

Your choir has a regional Eisteddfod entry, your First XV has an away game, and your netball team has a tournament — all on the same Saturday. You find out two coaches have double-booked transport at 07:00.

Parents message the coach. The coach messages the coordinator. The coordinator messages the administrator. The administrator sends a letter. Three days later, half the squad still doesn't know.

At the end of the year, you need to report on participation numbers, programme outcomes and event records. That data is in seventeen different places, none of it in a format that makes reporting easy.

The choir and the First XI are on the same page.

Seven programmes in one term view — hockey, netball and athletics sitting in the same column as choir, concert band and Eisteddfod, with the auditorium booked the same way the astro is. Nobody maintains a separate cultural calendar, because there isn't one to maintain.

One platform for every programme your school runs. Sport and culture, managed the same way, in the same place.

Fixtures and rehearsal schedules for every team and cultural group — in one place.

Visible to coaches, parents and players. One update reaches everyone.

Attendance tracking across sport and culture.

Know who showed up, who didn't, and who needs a follow-up — without a separate register for every group.

Coach and group communications through one channel.

No more WhatsApp group per team. One message to the right group, at the right time.

Parent visibility into fixtures, results, rehearsal times and event updates.

They stay informed without calling the office.

Eisteddfod entries, cultural programme tracking and school event management alongside sport.

Because the admin problem is the same whether it's a hockey fixture or a choir performance.

Participation and programme reporting at the end of term or year.

Your data is already in the system. The report takes minutes, not days.

Sport coordinators and cultural programme managers face the same problem: too many groups, too many moving parts, too little time. Sportivo treats them as the same problem — because they are.

Who was actually there, taken at the astro.

The register is the session, not a separate book someone writes up later. A coach marks the squad on the touchline in the minute before practice starts, an absence carries its reason with it, and the term's attendance assembles itself from that — so when a parent asks in October why their son was left out, the answer is a record rather than a recollection. The same screen does the choir and the concert band.

Sportivo College · U16A Rugby

The bus time changed. Everyone already knows.

One thread for the fixture, and the change lands in it — not in four WhatsApp groups, a letter home, and a phone call to the office on Friday afternoon. The parents who need to reply are replying where the coordinator posted, which is how the coordinator knows who hasn't. That second half is the one that matters. A message sent into three WhatsApp groups is a message nobody can audit — you find out it didn't reach someone when a parent arrives at the old time, at the old venue, on a Saturday morning, and by then the bus has gone. Here the silence is visible on Wednesday, while there is still time to phone the two families who haven't opened it.
