How Commentary Box makes team management easier and is fun for everyone

  • Quick and effective organisation

    From team selection and player availability to match details and more, communication with your squad is vital. Commentary Box uses team pages, email and text messages to keep you in touch with your players and parents.

  • Safe and secure

    Commentary Box is designed to be private and secure. Customisable controls let parents of youth players decide how their children use the site. And team pages are accessed by invite only, keeping rivals out.

  • Make it your own

    Team spirit is crucial and a few clicks adds your club badge and colours to your pages - coming soon. Players and parents will enjoy popping in to pick up the latest news, chat with other players, read match reports or upload photos.

  • Always in touch

    You're often on the move, so Commentary Box works seamlessly with your smart phone. New kick-off time? Venue change? Broken down minibus? Let the whole team know at once with a text alert via the site.

  • Collecting payments made easy

    Subs, match fees and extra payments can be a headache, but Commentary Box lets you offer players and parents the option to pay simply and securely online. Tracking payments, electronic or cash, is easy too. Coming soon.

  • Ideal for all forms of football

    Run an 11-a-side team? Or maybe several teams, including a small-sided team? No problem, Commentary Box is flexible enough to work for you now and in the future, however football evolves.

  • Keeping in contact with players and parents was a nightmare, but with Commentary Box I announce teams and check availability when it suits me. I no longer have to answer loads of text messages with the same thing – one posting and it’s done. It’s freed up loads of time, is private and secure and I can control and monitor everything. Simon Francis, Coach – Burnham United JFC

  • We’ve been trialling Commentary Box with the U13s and are so happy with it that we’re rolling it out to all the teams in the club. Players and parents use the forum to discuss games, give the coaches feedback or arrange to share lifts – and we post directions to away venues there on the site. Mark Berry, Vice Chairman & Coach – Burnbridge Wanderers JFC

  • The player availability feature is brilliant! Commentary Box is a very useful tool to help you manage your football team. It makes communication easy and I certainly would recommend it to youth coaches. Andrew Azzopardi, Coach – Hampstead FC

  • We’re really looking forward to using Commentary Box this season. We love the fact that we can give each age group their own forum where coaches, parents and children can post match reports, photos and comments. David Taylor, Sports Development Officer – University of Hertfordshire Football Development Centre
