For many clubs, stats management still means spreadsheets, PDFs, and disconnected total records spread across seasons. The main consideration is usually how much volunteer time that setup continues to need through the season and again when records need to be reviewed, shared, or handed over.
A self-managed setup can absolutely suit some clubs. ClubStats is designed for clubs that want the records, presentation, and continuity in place without as much ongoing internal upkeep from season to season.
This can include regular volunteer time, handover risk, file management across seasons, and extra cleanup when the club needs to prepare reports, social content, presentations, or historical summaries.
