Clubs run better with Sphere

Building the future of grassroots sport.

The Challenge

Grassroots sport is built on volunteers — but the system is breaking.

  • Volunteers are stretched too thin, leading to burnout and drop-off.

  • Clubs struggle to generate sustainable revenue to grow.

  • Critical knowledge gets lost when key people move on.

Without change, even the strongest clubs risk decline.

The Solution

Sphere GR exists to tackle the biggest barriers facing grassroots clubs. Through three targeted programs, Sphere GR delivers:

People – A managed workforce to reduce volunteer burden, plus access to a professional volunteer management tool.

Sponsorship – Centralised, professional sponsor management to increase revenue to fund club growth - and to make a Sphere-managed workforce cost-neutral.

Memory – A simple, powerful Club Memory tool that captures and transfers operational know-how so nothing gets lost.

  • Sphere GR People

    Sphere GR recruits, trains, and delivers a paid, professional workforce to fill the roles your volunteers can’t — from game day setup and admin to referees and coaching support. You tell us what you need, and we handle the rest — no rostering, no paperwork, no stress. Even better, through our integrated sponsorship program, this Workforce can be delivered at no cost to your club.

    We also provide access to a powerful, club-branded volunteer management system to manage volunteers - including rostering shifts, tracking hours, and streamlining onboarding — all from one central hub.

  • Sphere GR Sponsorship

    Sphere GR professionally attracts, secures, and manages sponsorship on behalf of your club — taking the pressure off local volunteers and ensuring a more strategic, consistent approach. These sponsorship funds are directed to agreed projects and purchases, and can also be used to offset the cost of your Sphere-delivered workforce. No more chasing local businesses, writing proposals, or juggling sponsor obligations — we handle everything, from acquisition to servicing, while keeping your club’s values and visibility front and centre.

    It’s a smarter way to fund the support you need, without draining your budget or burning out your committee.

  • Sphere GR Memory

    Every time a volunteer steps down, years of know-how often disappear with them — leaving new committee members to guess, restart, or reinvent how things are done. The Club Memory tool from Sphere GR solves this by giving your club a simple, powerful way to capture and store all the essential information that keeps things running. From step-by-step role guides and seasonal task lists to key contacts, account logins, policies, and templates — everything is documented, organised, and accessible in one central place.

    No more lost knowledge. No more messy handovers. Just a smarter, easier way to onboard new volunteers and protect the systems your club has worked hard to build.

How It Works

STEP 1

The Club joins Sphere GR for an annual fee of $299, and receives the following:

✅ Dedicated Sphere GR Dashboard for the Club.

✅ Licence to use the Sphere GR logo for promotion.

✅ Sphere GR Onboarding & Readiness Check – a set of tools to promote the Club's involvement with Sphere GR.

✅ Access to the Sphere GR Memory Tool.

✅ Sphere GR Behaviour Standard.

STEP 2

The Club agrees to uphold the Sphere GR Behaviour Standard to ensure that all workers, volunteers, and sponsors operate in a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment. Adopting this is the gateway to all paid workforce and sponsor support.

STEP 3

The following programs and platforms are then unlocked as pay-as-you-go add-ons:

✅ Sphere GR People (paid workforce) – trained match-day/admin/registration/coaching/referee supports, and discounted access to our Volunteer Management Platform.

✅ Sphere GR Sponsorship – hands-on sponsorship acquisition & servicing *

* The Sponsor Program can be directed to partly or fully offset the cost of the paid workforce.
