1. Why two sites

We built GrassrootsFC for our own football club, and everything in it assumes the FA: England Football Accreditation, Whole Game System registration, FA safeguarding, Full-Time results. When rugby, netball and cricket clubs asked for the same thing, the words were wrong for all of them, so AllGrassroots became its own product. The guides followed the products. Football advice is at grassrootsfc.co.uk/guides; everything else is here.

A football club that signs up here will be told the same thing, politely, and pointed at GrassrootsFC, which is free in the same way.

2. The football guides

All 21, grouped. Each opens on GrassrootsFC.

Starting and running

Money and people

Safeguarding and data

Website and comms

3. If you run both

Some clubs field football and rugby, or football and cricket, from the same ground. Run each section on its own site: the FA-shaped one on GrassrootsFC, the other on AllGrassroots. Committee, safeguarding and money advice is the same on both; only the governing body changes. Start with how to run a grassroots sports club.
