5-a-Side, Sorted

You just want to play. Not spend your week chasing ten people for a yes or no.

Pivio is built for groups like yours — small, casual, and just trying to get a game together every week without the WhatsApp chaos.

Pivio app showing event management for 5-a-side football

Organising 5-a-side is harder than it should be

  • Tight numbers mean every dropout threatens the whole game
  • Chasing confirmations in WhatsApp every single week
  • Splitting pitch fees unevenly when people don't show
  • Nobody remembers which pitch you booked or what time
  • Teams are the same every week — no variety, no competition
  • The organiser does all the work and none of the thanks

Send a reminder to players who haven't responded — without bothering the ones who already confirmed.

Attendance Stats

See who actually shows up week after week. Attendance rate, response rate, and reliability score for every player.

Too many players for one game? Run a round-robin tournament with a live scoreboard, standings, and timer.

Separate Group & Event Chat

5-a-Side FAQ

Is Pivio specifically for 5-a-side?

Pivio works for any format — 5-a-side, 7-a-side, 11-a-side, or any group size. But 5-a-side groups benefit the most because tight numbers mean every confirmation matters.

Can I manage more than one 5-a-side group?

Yes — you can join and manage multiple groups. Each has its own members, events, venues, and chat. Perfect if you play with different squads on different days.

How do I handle subs and reserves?

Players can set their status to Maybe if they're not sure. You can see exactly how many are confirmed, how many are maybes, and chase the rest with a reminder.

Can I track who brings the ball?

Yes — players can indicate they're bringing a ball when they confirm. No more arriving to find nobody brought one.

What about pitch fees?

You can set pricing on each venue — total pitch fee or per-player cost. Everyone sees the price before they confirm.

Can players bring guests?

Yes — when confirming, players can indicate how many guests they're bringing. The total headcount updates automatically, so you always know the real numbers.

Is it free?

Completely free. No limits on groups, events, or players. No premium tiers.
