Run your weekly football group without the WhatsApp chaos.

We built Aside Assist because we were sick of organising our weekly 7-a-side through a 25-person WhatsApp group. Missed availability polls, chasing payments in DMs, and picking teams on the spot every single week. After a few years of that, we figured there had to be a better way, so we built it ourselves.
