Volunteering at heart
We champion the volunteers. Our tools should give time back to what matters — the children and the pitch.

grassroots sport.
Sportio is built by people who have served on club boards themselves and run cables on volunteer work days. We know where the problems are.
Why Sportio
Around 11,000 clubs.
Nearly all run in people's spare time.
Norway has around 11,000 sports clubs, run by volunteers who give up their spare time. Yet most of them struggle with outdated websites, scattered spreadsheets and tools made for professional clubs — not for the grassroots club.
We believe a small football club in Jæren deserves technology as good as a top club's academy. That's why we bring the website, matches, members and training together in one platform that looks great and is great to use.
The goal is simple: give time back to the volunteers, so more children get to enjoy sport.
“Tools should give time back to what matters — the children and the pitch.”
Values
Three things we won't compromise on.
Secure and Norwegian
Data stored in the EU, with GDPR as the foundation. Built here, for the way things work in Norway.
Simple wins
If a volunteer can't make sense of it in two minutes, we've got it wrong. Simplicity is a feature.
How we work
Four rules for how.
- 01
We build together with the clubs
The order in which we build things is set by feedback from clubs, not by a roadmap drawn up in a meeting room.
- 02
Honest marketing
We only promise what the code does. If it's on the website, it's in the product.
- 03
Data in the EU
Database, files and servers in Frankfurt. Sub-processors are named in our privacy notice.
- 04
Norwegian first
Norwegian (Bokmål) on every screen, Norwegian sports terminology and Norwegian procedures such as NIF's annual membership and activity reporting (Samordnet rapportering). The administration is also available in English for those who need it.
