Centre Circle transforms grassroots football management, providing a comprehensive platform for referees, managers, leagues, County FAs, and parents. Our mission is to enhance the grassroots football experience by simplifying administrative tasks while adapting to the dynamic landscape of the sport. With a focus on community engagement, technology integration, player development, inclusivity, and financial sustainability, Centre Circle aims to revolutionise how football is organised and enjoyed at the grassroots level. At the core of our app are features tailored to the needs of referees, referee secretaries, managers, and leagues. The availability submission function streamlines the process for appointing referees to fixtures, saving time for all involved. Referees can conveniently submit match reports through the app, while receiving push notifications for fixture appointments, allowing them to accept or reject match assignments promptly. Safeguarding is a top priority for Centre Circle, aligning with the English FA’s safeguarding policy. The app tracks DBS expiration dates for referees & managers in junior football leagues, ensuring compliance and safety. Managers have the ability to confirm pre-match details in 1 click, ensuring efficient communication with referees. With a user base of over 10,000 referees spanning 130+ English grassroots leagues and 12 County FAs, Centre Circle is not just an administrative tool but a platform that promotes development, progression, and welfare within local football. Noteworthy features include an urgent help button for referees facing abuse, stat-tracking to address poor team behaviour, and a user-friendly interface. We're completely free to use. Embrace the future of grassroots football management with Centre Circle. Whether you are a referee, manager, or league official, our app is designed to simplify your role, empower your decisions, and promote a safe and positive football environment for all participants. Experience the next generation of football management with Centre Circle.

great idea but needs some work

Fixtures are difficult to use and you have to select a league rather than be available for all leagues. There should be an option just to make yourself available for any game. The calendar doesn’t always update as well. As for the ‘spare games’ after I added a second league it now only shows me games for that league even though I know there are games available for the first league.

Great idea, not utilised full potential

Mr referee
Dates should be open for ANY football leagues you wish to operate on(leagues appointment officer should have choice of who is available and appoint fromthat list for that date). Once appointed, the app should make the referee automatically unavailable to any other league to helpAppointments officers appoint.

Hi,This is originally how the system worked, but referee secretaries unanimously voted to change it due to the chaos it caused them. They needed a system that was efficient and where they could rely on the data being accurate. Many of them export availability from the system, so the concept of ‘close my date as soon as an appointment happens’ wouldn’t work on a spreadsheet.Appointments officers are often unpaid volunteers, giving up their time to support grassroots football, so we thought it right to listen to their wishes and create what they wanted.Sorry this hasn’t met your expectations, hopefully this explains the rationale and you’ll reconsider your 3 star review

Keep getting unable to communicate with the server error on logging in , happens all the time, currently unable to login for 2 days and leagues asking us to update availability and do match reports!!, games not showing up in spare section when the leagues insist they have uploaded , so can’t select them. Unable to call contact for a match through the app or even cut and paste the number, wish the leagues would stop using this app to be honest.

Not sure if it is the app or the information some else enters into it but don’t trust the map or location. Seemly always directs to the wrong place. Manager contact details should be able to click and open the email / call the from app but you have to swipe between app as you can’t even copy and paste the email address or number.
