Three steps to match day
- Start your teamAdd the squad once, or share the invite link and let players add themselves.
- Drop the link in the groupPlayers tap “I’m in” and see what they owe. You see who’s coming, and how many you still need.
- Turn up and playSign-ups, payments and the line-up are done. After the game, record the score and vote for man of the match.
You shouldn’t have to be the team’s accountant
Scrolling back to see who said they’re in. Screenshots of M-Pesa messages. Asking a mate for KES 300, again. Grao keeps it in one place, so you can stop asking.
-
Know who’s paid
Players see what they owe and how to pay your M-Pesa till. An admin ticks payments off as they come in; the money never passes through Grao.
-
Line-ups in any shape
5, 6, 7 or 8-a-side, in the formation you play, or two sides among yourselves. Suggest a line-up from who signed up.
-
A season you can look back on
Goals, assists, clean sheets and appearances add up from every result. Tap a name for their match-by-match record.
-
Man of the match, by vote
The players who played pick the best player, never themselves. Closing the vote reveals the award, ready to share.
-
One link for the whole squad
Share the invite link once. Players tap their name or add themselves, and the owner chooses who else can run things.
-
Nothing to install
It runs in the phone’s browser, with the same five tabs under every thumb. Add it to the home screen like an app.
90 plays you can watch move
Fifteen tactics, from the keeper going round the press to a high press, each drawn for every formation from 5 to 8-a-side. Switch formation and the same tactic redraws for your shape. Step through a move, see every player’s job, and talk it over in the comments.
- Keeper goes round the press
- Give-and-go
- Overlap on the wing
- Three-on-two counter
- Press the short pass and trap it
- Guard the box, then break
Questions

Do players need to download an app?
No. It runs in the phone’s browser. Players can add it to their home screen, and it opens like any other app.
How do players join?
The team’s owner shares a squad invite link in the group. Players open it, tap their name or add themselves, and they’re in.
Does Grao take the payments?
No, it keeps track of them. Players see what they owe and your M-Pesa till or paybill, and an admin ticks each payment off when it arrives.
Can we play among ourselves?
Yes. Split the squad into two named sides, bibs and non-bibs, each with its own line-up. Results and the leaderboard count both.
What does it cost?
Nothing, while we’re starting out. If that ever changes, teams will hear well before anything is charged.
No more 40-message threads, night-before headcounts, or chasing the three who still owe from last time.
Tupatane grao.
See you at the pitch: you’ll know who’s coming, the pitch is paid for, and the line-up is set. All that’s left is to play.
