You don't need to be an expert to use our system.

No prior knowledge of HTML (the language for producing web pages) is required, our system generates this for you. Your admin area allows you to manage your teams, and players all through your website.

You can also use our email members feature to send email to all those on the database, specific teams, or individuals within the club.
You want your website to appear when people search for your club. You want potential new members to find your club website, not your local rival's website when they search.

There are a number of factors that go together to help this to happen. One of the most important is to ensure the underlying structure of your site is built to open the pages in your site to search engines. We've taken care of this so you don't need to worry about it!

We've ensured all the pages in your site can be indexed, and made all the page names "search engine friendly" (something that most database driven sites don't do).
Choose your own colours, fonts, and upload your own images to make your site personal to your club.

We now also offer a custom design service, to give your website a professional and individual design.
Add the latest news on your club to your website, and view all the latest Headlines in your sport from around the world, from within your site.

Latest news is displayed in a ticker on the home page, highlighting the most relevant news to all visitors to your website.
You can add an effectively unlimited number of additional pages to your website using our wysiwyg editor it's easy to create your own individual pages for specific events, or sections of the club. You can even copy and paste most documents from Word and retain formatting features.
Display a full fixture list for all of the clubs within your club, including colts teams.

All fixtures are automatically archived by season so you will be able to view a full history of all results added to the system. If you choose you can add a full history of your clubs results throughout the years.
Keeping track of all members availabilities for fixtures used to be a real headache. That all changes with a hitssports website.

All your players availabilities can be entered online, by each member and are stored centrally, they can then be printed off for a specific date, prior to selection. When you come to select your teamsheets on the website you will not be able to select those who've said they can't play (although this can be overridden if necessary).
Display the teams for the matches on your website and save on ringing round. All members are emailed when they are selected and can simply click a link in the email to confirm they can play.
Publish all your results, and match reports on your website allowing members to keep in touch with what is going on within in the club, and helping to attract new players.
You can manually enter your league tables or you can enter a link to an external website containing your league table information, this will then be included within your own website.
Player performances are recorded to build up a full record of performances over time. Matches played, and performance details are recorded (currently for (Football, Rugby, Hockey and Cricket). These stats are then displayed in match reports, and a summary by season is displayed in player's profiles.

Every Player in your club will have their own profile page within your website, which they can update themselves. Every place their name is mentioned will link through to their player profile. You will be able to upload a photo for each of the players in your club, which will be displayed on their profile.
Our photo gallery featue allows you to upload photos of matches and events (in fact anything you want, although please keep it clean!!). Photo's are categorised into galleries and a thumbnail image is automatically generated for each image you upload.
