Kelvo

About Kelvo

Built so the people who run sport can get back to running it.

Kelvo is a booking, payments and membership platform that helps UK sports clubs and academies grow with less admin — with no monthly fee.

Prefer to talk it through first? Get in touch.

A new website as well? We’ll build it, with your classes, prices and booking kept in sync automatically. Just ask.

How we work.

We set you up, with you

Send us what you have — a spreadsheet, an export, a PDF timetable — and we bring your schedule and member list across for free, then build your first classes and plans alongside you. Elite Player Programme moved over in seven days.

We only earn when you do

No monthly fee, no setup fee, no contract. Kelvo takes a small share of each booking, so a quiet month costs you nothing and the only way we grow is if you do. Payments go straight into your own Stripe account — we never hold your money.

It never stands still

Kelvo is a complete platform in daily use, and it is constantly evolving — rich, genuinely helpful, outcome-driven features added continually. Pick-your-days camps, invite-only squad classes and walk-ins at the door all began as one organisation’s request.

Families’ details, treated properly

Built and operated in the UK. Photo consent is asked per channel, medical notes reach only the people who need them, sensitive actions are logged, and nobody — parent, coach or staff — has a password to lose.

What Kelvo does

One system, in place of the four you are juggling.

Selling

Memberships across classes

Bronze, Silver, Gold — a tier spans several classes, carries a joining fee, and gets its own page you can link from your site. Parents upgrade a tier and add a day themselves, paid on the card on file.

Selling

Camps — “three days, pick any two”

A pay-once camp over any dates. Sell a single day and a discounted bundle side by side; parents choose their days and pay once. Each morning has its own register.

Operations

A coach app that knows who is on the pitch

One-tap register on a phone. Before the session: who is new, consents, age, a medical flag and an emergency call sheet naming who to ring. Cover a session with another coach in one move. Never billing.

Money

Renewals that look after themselves

A reminder before every charge, a receipt after it, and a failed card retried and chased automatically. Your billing page shows what is coming in the next 30 days and who needs attention — in plain English.

Knowing

Insights that say what moved

Takings, memberships and members as plain sentences — up, down or steady, and why. Which classes are half empty, which slots are nearly full, which hours parents actually want, and which families have gone quiet. Measured against your own history, never another club’s.

Knowing

Ask Kelvo

Type a question the way you would ask a colleague — “who hasn’t been for a month?”, “what did the October camp take?” — and get the answer from your own bookings, payments and registers. It reads; it never changes anything.

In use

Organisations that got their time back — and made their income predictable.

The 7 Academy

Football · Surrey

Moved off GoTeamUp · Microsoft Bookings · Mailerlite · a bespoke website

Off four tools, onto one

Bookings on GoTeamUp, trials on Microsoft Bookings, emails on Mailerlite and a website that could not take a payment. Four logins, four bills, nothing talking to each other.

Live on Kelvo in days. Schedule, members and plans brought across; one branded booking site; parents book and pay in under two minutes; coaches mark registers on their phone.

Four systems → one. £0 a month.

SG Sport

Multi-sport · London

Moved off Omnify

From one-off blocks to recurring revenue

Every parent bought a block for the term, then had to be chased to buy the next one. Revenue reset to zero at every term boundary.

Live on Kelvo in days. Moved before the new term and put existing customers straight onto recurring plans. Renewals charge automatically, parents get a reminder first, and failed cards are retried and followed up without anyone lifting a finger.

Term-by-term chasing → renewals that run themselves.

Elite Player Programme

Football

Moved off Abler

Trials, an assistant and promo funnels — in a week

The old system could take a booking, but could not turn a free trial into a paying member, answer a parent at 9pm, or run a promotion that led anywhere.

Live on Kelvo in 7 days. Free-trial conversion, an AI assistant grounded in their live schedule, and discount codes that take new families from a promo straight into checkout.

Bookings only → trials that convert, questions answered, promos that land.

Coach Rafaz Academy

Football

Started on Kelvo

Camps set up in minutes, sold by the day or the pack

Pop-up holiday camps with no term structure — and two ways to sell them: a single day for the drop-in parent, and a discounted bundle for families who book the week.

Live on Kelvo in minutes. One camp, dated slots, a “pick any 2 of 3 days” tier alongside the single-day price, discount built into the pack. Parents choose their days and pay once; the register is ready each morning.

No term, no admin — camps that sell singly and in bulk.

Questions

Common questions.

Not answered here? Ask us — usually within a working day.

Can we set it up ourselves, or do you do it?
Either. Sign up and you will be walked through your first class, your brand and your Stripe connection in a few minutes. If you would rather we did it, Done for you includes hands-on setup and migration.
How do we move our schedule and members across?
We do it with you. Send us an export from whatever you use today — a spreadsheet is fine — and we set up your classes, plans and members so parents can book from day one. Most academies are live within days, not weeks.
What if we want to leave?
There is no contract. Your Stripe account, your customers and your money are yours; export your data at any time.
Where does the money go?
Straight to your own Stripe account, and from there to your bank on Stripe’s normal payout schedule. Kelvo never holds your money. Parents can pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Is it GDPR and safeguarding compliant?
Consent is captured per channel (team chat versus public marketing), medical details are restricted to the people who need them, every sensitive action is logged, and data is stored in the UK. A Data Processing Agreement is available.
We already have a website — do we have to replace it?
No. Keep it. Your booking site lives on your own subdomain (yourname.kelvo.co) and you link to it from your site, or pull your live classes, prices and “Book now” links straight into your own pages with the Kelvo API. Parents land on your branded pages either way. And if you would rather start again, we can build you a new website properly — designed around how you actually sell, with your classes, schedule, prices and booking links kept in sync with Kelvo automatically, so a new class or a price change shows up on your site without anyone editing a page.
