Don’t let these issues keep you up at night

The grassroots sport industry is experiencing a seismic shift. As we move from opaque legacy/manual systems to a more transparent digital age, we are being confronted by new and complex problems— that partnering with PlayHQ can help you navigate.

Compliance Nightmares

Inaccurate data can lead to lost government or sponsor funding, and challenges with monitoring child safeguarding, concussion management, incident management, or disciplinary management.

  • Lost funding
  • Legal risks
  • Costly errors

Lack of Single Reporting

Outdated systems result in dirty data, making informed decision-making next to impossible. Using disjointed tools for registration, payments, and scheduling leads to confusion and redundancy. As a result, governing bodies find it difficult to optimise participation, revenue, and growth.

  • Dirty data
  • Disjointed tools
  • Impaired decision making

Security Risks

Legacy software exposes sensitive participant and payment information to data breaches and hacking. Inadequate safeguards for personal data can break trust and result in heavy financial penalties. Using outdated systems heightens the risk of cyberattacks and operational disruptions.

  • Data breaches
  • Broken trust
  • Heavy financial penalties

What happens if you don’t act?

Outdated tools and processes leave your organisation vulnerable to costly mistakes and missed opportunities.

Don’t wait till it’s too late
  • A single error could lead to legal repercussions or broken trust from players, families, and sponsors.
  • Disconnected systems mean you’re running blind—no data to make decisions, secure funding, or optimise operations.
  • Legacy software opens the door to cyberattacks that could compromise sensitive information.
