Season fees
Players see what they owe and can pay by bank transfer, card or Apple Pay when Stripe is Active. They pay the fee amount the team advertised — Run5 does not add a player surcharge. The platform fee comes from the team’s Stripe payout. Fee push reminders help chase unpaid balances. Admins can also collect in person with Tap to Pay on iPhone: card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, with no card reader (Free, after Stripe Active).

Team chat
One thread for the squad, with pinned announcements, coach voice when something matters, and quick reactions so the team can acknowledge without cluttering the chat.

Player profiles
Stats, game log, payments and licence fields on each player so coaches stop rebuilding the same list every season. Bulk-add players with roster CSV import when you already have a spreadsheet.

Live Game Stats
Score on the sideline with a real scorer’s table: clock, quarters, fouls, box score and undo. Mirror a public TV board with no private data for the gym screen. After the whistle, download branded result and Player of the Game share cards for Instagram or the team chat.
No signal in the gym? Keep scoring. Record a full game offline. The result is saved on your phone and uploads once when you’re back online, and saving the line-up no longer hangs.
