How a match day runs

  1. Share the match dayCreate it with a date and kick-off, then drop its link in the team’s WhatsApp group.

  3. Pick, play, votePick the line-up, record the score, and let the players vote for man of the match.

What the group chat loses track of

Who’s coming, who’s paid, who scored. Kept in one place, for the whole season.

  • Know who’s paid

    Players see what they owe and how to pay your M-Pesa till. An admin ticks payments off as they come in; the money never passes through Grao.

  • Line-ups in any shape

    5, 6, 7 or 8-a-side, in the formation you play, or two sides among yourselves. Suggest a line-up from who signed up.

  • A season you can look back on

    Goals, assists, clean sheets and appearances add up from every result. Tap a name for their match-by-match record.

  • Man of the match, by vote

    The players who played pick the best player, never themselves. Closing the vote reveals the award, ready to share.

  • One link for the whole squad

    Share the invite link once. Players tap their name or add themselves, and the owner chooses who else can run things.

  • Nothing to install

    It runs in the phone’s browser, with the same five tabs under every thumb. Add it to the home screen like an app.

72 plays you can watch move

Twelve kinds of play, from building out from the back to a high press, each drawn for every formation from 5 to 8-a-side. Step through a move, see every player’s job, and talk it over in the comments.

  • Give-and-go
  • Overlap on the wing
  • Third-man run
  • High press

Give-and-go, 6-a-sideStep 1 of 7: Make a triangle

Questions

Something else? Email jayson.mulwa@gmail.com

Do players need to download an app?

No. It runs in the phone’s browser. Players can add it to their home screen, and it opens like any other app.

How do players join?

The team’s owner shares a squad invite link in the group. Players open it, tap their name or add themselves, and they’re in.

Does Grao take the payments?

No, it keeps track of them. Players see what they owe and your M-Pesa till or paybill, and an admin ticks each payment off when it arrives.

Can we play among ourselves?

Yes. Split the squad into two named sides, bibs and non-bibs, each with its own line-up. Results and the leaderboard count both.

What does it cost?

[Pricing to be decided]

Tupatane grao.

See you at the pitch. Set your team up before Sunday.
