About Assemble Sports
Assemble Sports is a Sydney sports technology company, based on Campbell Street in Surry Hills, with a one-line mission: to help sports thrive. Its platform runs the participant side of a sport in one system — registration, memberships, events, competitions, fixtures, payments, match day, and reporting — from elite level down to grassroots competitions. The team brings a decade of hands-on work in sports administration, and its pitch to governing bodies is that the platform is configured to fit the sport, rather than the sport bending to fit the software.
Registration is where Assemble starts, because it is usually a participant’s first contact with a sport. Its registration portal asks whether you are a player, coach, volunteer, or manager, then shows only the products you are eligible for. Family accounts let one parent register several children into different events in a single transaction. Any product can require another, so a sport can attach a national membership — and the insurance it covers — to every registration without charging the fee twice. For sports with safety requirements, admins can hold new memberships for approval before a participant is cleared to play.
Its competition management handles draws across multiple venues and courts, team time-slot and field preferences, match clashes and referee clashes on the same scheduler screen, mid-season regrading, and custom scoring and stat types for each format of a sport. On match day, Assemble’s apps capture results and attendance, publish live scores, show player photos so officials can check who is on the field, and let a newcomer quick-register on the spot. Payments run through Pin Payments, with Apple Pay and Google Pay. Around the core platform, Assemble also builds dashboards and reporting, fan games such as Fan Team Selection and fantasy competitions, websites, and consulting for sports organisations.
Assemble’s published case studies include Gridiron Australia, which moved from separate state instances to one national database covering tackle and flag football; Archery Australia, which left an 11-year-old system for safety-first membership approvals and digital membership cards; Australian Oztag, with more than 150,000 players and a new annual membership model; and UniSport Australia, which took registrations for its 2026 Nationals events, including Athletics and 3x3 Basketball, on Assemble. Organisations shown on Assemble’s site also include Rugby Australia, the NRL, Handball Australia, Fencing Victoria, NSW Fencing, Bond University, UniTAS Sport, and the Singapore Rugby Union.
The partnership
Assemble runs the sport. TidyHQ runs the club. A national or state body on Assemble holds the registrations, the national membership, the draw, and the results, which gives it one view of who is playing across every club. What happens inside each club the rest of the week is a different job: the committee meeting, the AGM, the volunteer roster, the sponsors, the presentation night, the canteen float, and the club’s own bank account. TidyHQ is built for that job. Playing registrations and fees stay in Assemble; TidyHQ looks after everyone else the club deals with — social and life members, parents who volunteer, sponsors, and past players. And because a TidyHQ account belongs to the club, not to the governing body’s database, the club’s committee records, finances, and communications stay with the club.
- TidyHQ points national bodies, state associations, and university sport programs that need registration, competition management, fixtures, or live scoring to Assemble Sports. TidyHQ does not build competition software; Assemble does.
- Clubs and associations that play in Assemble-run competitions use TidyHQ for club operations: committee meetings and AGMs, volunteer tasks, social events and fundraisers, member emails, and club finances.
- Mutual customers are supported on both sides: Assemble for registration, draws, and match day; TidyHQ for the club’s own members, money, and committee work.
Where Assemble ends and TidyHQ starts
An Oztag association: registrations in Assemble, the committee in TidyHQ
Players and teams register through Assemble, parents sign up the whole family in one transaction, and the draw is built with match and referee clashes resolved on one screen — the setup Australian Oztag chose for 150,000+ players. Scores go live from the sideline. Off the field, the association’s committee runs its monthly meeting, sponsor invoices, and end-of-season volunteer thank-you night in TidyHQ. Nobody re-enters the draw, and nobody keeps the sponsor list in a spreadsheet.
A national membership, and clubs that still run their own books
Gridiron Australia used Assemble to attach a national membership to every registration, so a player signs up once a year and can then play tackle and flag across clubs and states. That gives the national body its national database. Each club still has a treasurer, a Xero file, and a committee. TidyHQ is where those live, with payments reconciled to Xero. If the national body also wants affiliation returns or compliance answers from clubs, TidyConnect collects them, and the national body sees only what each club accepts into the project.
A sport with safety checks before anyone plays
Archery cannot let a new member sign up on Monday and shoot on Tuesday. Assemble built membership approval for Archery Australia, so admins clear each new archer before they compete, with the toggle set per membership and for new or returning members. The range, the working bees, the equipment roster, and the club’s committee are local jobs. A club runs those in TidyHQ, with tasks assigned to named volunteers and meeting minutes kept where the next committee can find them.
University sport: Nationals on Assemble, campus clubs on TidyHQ
UniSport Australia moved its Nationals registrations to Assemble in February 2026, so universities and student-athletes enter events like Athletics and 3x3 Basketball in a system built for multi-sport delivery. On campus, the sports clubs those athletes belong to still need memberships, O-Week sign-ups, executive handovers, and club grants tracked. Student guilds and unions run that in TidyHQ — see TidyHQ for universities and student unions.
Presentation night, start to finish
Assemble’s player-of-the-match points (3, 2, 1 or whatever your sport uses) build the leaderboard that decides the season awards. TidyHQ sells the presentation-night tickets, emails the invitations to members and sponsors, and reconciles the takings at the end of the night. The awards come from the competition. The night belongs to the club.
Common questions
Assemble Sports is an Australian sports technology company based in Surry Hills, Sydney. Its platform covers registration, membership, event and competition management, fixtures, payments, match-day and participant apps, live scoring, and reporting for sporting bodies from elite level to grassroots. It also offers fan games, websites, and consulting. Its website is assemblesports.com.
Assemble’s published case studies cover Gridiron Australia (tackle and flag football), Archery Australia, Australian Oztag, and UniSport Australia. Organisations shown on its website also include Rugby Australia, the NRL, Handball Australia, Fencing Victoria, NSW Fencing, Bond University, UniTAS Sport, and the Singapore Rugby Union.
Assemble handles the membership and registration a sport needs to let people play: national memberships, competition entries, eligibility, and insurance. A club has a second set of jobs that sit outside the competition — committee meetings and AGMs, volunteer rosters, sponsors, social members, fundraisers, club events, member emails, and the club’s own finances. TidyHQ is built for those. Most clubs keep playing registrations in their sport’s platform and run the club itself in TidyHQ.
Not a native connector today. Clubs use each system for its own job, so very little data needs to move between them. Where a club does want to bring people across, TidyHQ supports CSV contact import and has a public REST API with webhooks that Assemble, the club, or any developer can build against.
No. A TidyHQ account belongs to the club. Your governing body sees the registration and participation data it holds in its own platform, but it cannot see your club’s TidyHQ members, finances, communications, events, or documents. If a peak body uses TidyConnect to collect affiliation or compliance information, it sees only what your club explicitly accepts into that project.
No. TidyHQ does not build draws, run fixtures, score matches, or appoint officials. For those, use a sports platform such as Assemble Sports. TidyHQ runs memberships, events, payments, communications, volunteers, and committee admin for the club.
