Altrincham FC Community Sports partners with Abler to simplify registration, communication, and admin for diverse community programmes in the UK.

Altrincham FC Community Sports Teams Up with Abler to Streamline Diverse Community Programmes

Abler is proud to partner with Pro Touch, a London-based community football organisation. Our platform will help them streamline admin, communication, and player management.

Abler Teams Up with Pro Touch to Support Community and Elite Football Programmes

We're thrilled to announce a new partnership between Abler and Pro Touch, a London-based Community Interest Company doing incredible work with young people. Since 2006, Pro Touch has used sport to make a positive impact, starting as a football academy and now running various healthy lifestyle programmes.

The Academy has a proven track record, helping over 40 young athletes sign professional contracts and reinvesting all profits directly back into their programmes.

The Abler platform will provide Pro Touch with the tools they need to operate more efficiently, helping them spend more time on what matters most, developing young talent.

Streamlined Programme Sign-ups and Payments

Pro Touch runs many different programmes, and managing sign-ups and payments can be complex. With Abler, they'll have an easy-to-use online system for families to register for activities and make secure payments.

Keeping players and parents informed is crucial. Abler's communication features will allow Pro Touch to share schedules, important updates, and training information directly through a secure platform. This will help them move away from informal chat groups, making communication clearer and more professional.

Efficient Attendance and Progress Tracking

With programmes running across multiple London boroughs, tracking attendance can be a challenge. Abler's features will help Pro Touch easily monitor who's attending sessions, providing a clear overview of engagement across all their activities.

We're proud to support Pro Touch as they continue their valuable work in supporting young people and making a positive difference in London. Their commitment to providing opportunities and development pathways aligns closely with our mission, and we're excited to be part of their journey.

Abler App 3.9.1: Embrace the Dark & Master Your Club Admin

At Abler, we're constantly working to make sports management simpler, more efficient, and more enjoyable for clubs, coaches, parents, and players alike. We're thrilled to announce the release of Abler App version 3.9.1, packed with significant updates designed to upgrade user experience and streamline  administrative tasks.

This release represents a significant step forward, not just with exciting new features but also through substantial under-the-hood improvements. We've completed a major technical migration from AppCenter to Expo, ensuring all our packages are up-to-date and providing a clear runway for even more rapid development and stability in the future.

Say goodbye to eye strain and hello to sleek sophistication! One of the most anticipated features in Abler App 3.9.1 is the highly requested Dark Mode.

Why Dark Mode? Beyond its modern aesthetic, Dark Mode offers a host of benefits, especially for those late-night checks on schedules or quick communications before bed:

✅ Reduced Eye Strain: Less bright light from your screen means less fatigue for your eyes, particularly in low-light environments.

✅ Battery Savings: For devices with OLED or AMOLED screens, displaying black pixels actually consumes less power, extending your phone's battery life.

✅ Sleeker Look: Many users simply prefer the elegant and sophisticated look of a darker interface.

Activating Dark Mode is seamless. If your phone is already set to a dark theme, the Abler app will switch automatically. You can also manually toggle Dark Mode on or off within your profile screen for complete control. It's perfect for that quick Abler check before bed, saving battery and adding a touch of personalised style to your sports management app.

Simplified Member Management: Adding and Updating with Ease

We understand that member management is at the core of any successful sports club. With Abler App 3.9.1, we've focused on making these processes even more intuitive and efficient.

You'll find a significantly streamlined flow when adding members to age groups, reducing clicks and saving valuable time for busy administrators and coaches. Furthermore, we've implemented a crucial improvement that makes it easier for members to remove guardians after turning 18. This upgrade provides greater autonomy for adult members while simplifying administrative oversight for clubs.

Other Enhancements and Performance Boosts

Beyond these headline features, Abler App 3.9.1 includes a multitude of other improvements and fixes to enhance overall performance and stability. While these might not be as visible as Dark Mode, they contribute significantly to a smoother, more reliable experience for every user. These include:

✅ Attendance list: Responses and communication made easier

✅ Book a Class for members now also available to Guardians

✅ General performance optimisations for a snappier app experience.

✅ Various bug fixes based on user feedback, ensuring greater stability.

✅ Underlying technical updates that lay the groundwork for exciting future features.

Update Now and Experience the Difference!

The latest version of the Abler app is already rolling out on both iOS and Android. To take advantage of Dark Mode, smarter admin tools, and all the other enhancements, simply tap "Update" on your device.

We're confident that Abler App 3.9.1 will make managing your sports club or athletic team even more efficient and enjoyable. Thank you for being a part of the Abler community – we look forward to continuing to empower your sport management solutions!

Wallsend Boys & Girls Club, home to English football legends, chooses Abler's all-in-one platform to streamline operations and develop future talent.

Wallsend Boys Club Partners with Abler for Football Talent

Wallsend Boys Club selects Abler to drive the next generation of football talent

Wallsend Boys and Girls Club, the childhood club of some of English football’s greatest names, has partnered with Abler to deploy the company’s all‑in‑one digital platform across every strand of the club’s football and community programmes.

Since 1904, Wallsend Boys Club has played a part in the careers of more than 90 professional players—including Alan Shearer, Michael Carrick, Elliot Anderson, Peter Beardsley, Steve Bruce, Fraser Forster, Lee Clark, Robbie Elliott. But more than that, it has been a safe, welcoming community asset to 1000’s & 1000’s of young people across Tyneside and beyond. 

Today the club provides playing opportunities for boys’, girls’ and disability teams as well as holiday camps, community sessions, and educational projects, all delivered by a large volunteer coaching workforce.

The breadth and heritage of the club demand modern infrastructure. 

By adopting Abler, Wallsend Boys and Girls Club will:

Streamline staff and volunteer coordination. Abler’s staff‑management suite will assign coaches, monitor qualifications, and track safeguarding compliance across multiple age groups from its Kirkley Park site.

Simplify bookings for families. Parents will secure places on weekly training sessions, holiday camps, and talent‑ID days in seconds, cutting waiting lists and freeing volunteers from manual admin.

Keep legends‑in‑the‑making informed. Integrated communications push instant updates—pitch changes, fixture reminders, and performance feedback—to coaches, parents, and players through one central hub, replacing scattered emails and group chats.

Capture data that sustains excellence. Real‑time attendance, player and facility usage metrics flow straight into Abler’s reporting suite, giving club leaders the insights needed to refine programmes and demonstrate impact to partners and funders.

From PODS & Wildcats sessions to youth squads, every Wallsend Boys and Girls Club activity will now run on Abler—ensuring the pipeline that their history and legacy continues for another 120 years and beyond!
