Why The Gaffer instead of TeamSnap?
No per-player fees
TeamSnap charges per player per season. The Gaffer is free for small leagues and clubs — pay only if you need advanced features.

See all your teams' schedules, results and rosters in one dashboard. TeamSnap is team-by-team.
Football-first
Goals, assists, cards, halves — built for football, not watered down from a generic sports platform.
Real-time chat built in
Team chat and direct messages are included, not a paid add-on.
