Discovery, two ways
List your league in the directory so clubs can find and apply, or keep it invite-only and share a private join code. Either way, clubs apply in-platform, not by email.
Leagues & Competitions
Run the league, not the spreadsheet.
Affiliate clubs through an application, place teams into divisions, run cross-club fixtures and publish standings while each club keeps its own branding and structure.
Your affiliation form, not a PDF
Build a prerequisite form with conditional logic. Every club's answers land right next to their application, ready to approve, or reject with a reason they can fix and resubmit.
One screen for the division
Keep placed teams, cross-club fixtures and the league view together, with sharing boundaries made clear.
How affiliation works
From application to division in a few clicks.
- 01
Publish your league
Go public in the directory so clubs can find you, or stay private and share a join code with only the clubs you want.
- 02
Clubs apply with your form
Each club completes the prerequisite form you built; their answers arrive attached to the application, ready for you to review.
- 03
Approve into a division
Accept a club's team straight into a division, or reject with a reason. Rejections aren't dead-ends: clubs see exactly what to fix and reapply without re-keying.

Connected clubs, one league
When clubs and their league both run on YourZown.
Most league software treats clubs as rows in a spreadsheet. YourZown treats a league as a first-class organisation in its own right (with its own directory presence, affiliation workflow and divisions) sitting above clubs that keep their own branding, structure and data.
Clubs apply through your configured form, their team moves into the right division and the fixture work stays connected to the organisations involved.
And you're not limited to clubs already on YourZown: invite any club by email, and your invitation is waiting in their Connections tab the moment they sign up, so your league becomes a reason for more clubs to join.
FAQs
The questions we get asked most.
Do clubs have to be on YourZown already?
No. Invite any club by email and the invitation is waiting in their Connections tab the moment they sign up, so onboarding a new club is part of the flow, not a blocker.
Can clubs apply to a specific division or team?
Yes. Clubs apply per team, and you place each accepted team into the right division. Rejections come with a reason, so clubs can fix and reapply without starting over.
Is a league separate to a club?
Yes. A league and a club keep their own identity and responsibilities, with explicit connections for the information they need to share.
