01

Choose Create a club

Choose Start 14-day trial on the website, then Create a club. The compact progress indicator shows your current step. Invited players, parents and staff should choose Join an existing club and use their invitation instead of creating another club.

02

Enter the club details and trial plan

Complete Club details, then choose Starter for one team, Growth for unlimited teams, or Academy for unlimited teams with the Academy Performance Centre. Prices are per club. Use Continue to move forward or Back to review your entries.

03

Create and verify your account

Complete Your account and follow the email verification instructions. No payment card is collected during signup. The 14-day workspace trial begins when the club workspace is created; choosing a trial plan does not activate paid billing.

04

Create the first team

Finish club setup with the first active squad, its age group and Starting lineup size from 5 through 12, including the goalkeeper. More teams can be added later from Players → Squad within your plan.

  • Use the current football age group
  • Choose the actual match format, including the goalkeeper
  • Use one record per real squad
05

Complete the club identity

Open Dashboard to return to Club home. Use the setup checklist and Open club media to add the official badge, then complete the club story, ground, colours and contact information. The public website builder is under Club → Website.

06

Finish setup and review Finance

Use the Club home setup actions to add players, invite scoped staff and create the first fixture. Review the trial and subscription status in Finance. A club admin must activate a subscription through Stripe to continue club access after the trial; check the checkout for the billing start date.

Good practice

Checks that prevent common mistakes

  • Use a club-owned email address for the primary admin and give each staff member their own account.
  • Invited player and parent accounts do not start separate NEXTXI subscriptions. Club membership and match fees are separate.
  • For a walkthrough, choose Request a demo on the website, complete the short form and wait for the on-page received confirmation. The request is saved on NEXTXI; there is no email application to open. If it is not confirmed, correct the highlighted fields or retry with the retained answers.
