Your sports club mainly needs member management, fees and event sign-ups — without training stats, facility booking or expensive per-head PRO pricing.
You manage multiple teams, need attendance statistics, facility booking or a webshop for kit — and budget accordingly.
Sports clubs often switch when admin should be simpler than the sport-specific extras justify.
