Website for sports club shops
A sports club kit webshop lets players and parents order the right shirt, shorts and training gear for their club, in the right size, without forms passed around the changing room. Atelier Web has managed the Promosport webshop, which supplies players of about ten football clubs, for several years.
What we hear
- Kit orders are collected on paper or in a spreadsheet, and sizes or names go wrong every season.
- Parents ask the same questions about sizes, deadlines and collection again and again.
- Each club has its own kit, colours and sponsors, and the shop must keep them apart.
- Orders peak at the start of the season and the rest of the year is quiet.
- International families in Brussels-area clubs cannot follow instructions written only in Dutch or French.
What should a sports club shop website contain?
A clear entry per club. Players and parents arrive from a link in the club newsletter or WhatsApp group, and they need to land straight on their club’s kit: match shirt, shorts, socks, training gear, bag, rain jacket.
Each product gets a page with photos, a size chart per age group and fields for name and number if printing is offered. Show the order deadline and the collection or delivery date at the top of each club section, because that is what parents check first.
Add a page with frequently asked questions: how to measure a child, what happens if a size is wrong, when kit arrives, how to pay. Then contact details for the shop and, if the clubs prefer, a contact person per club.
If you also sell to clubs directly, such as full team sets with sponsors, add a page explaining how a club can open its own section.
How do customers find a sports club shop online?
Mostly they do not search; they are sent. The club shares a link at the start of the season and players follow it. That makes clear naming and easy links more important than search ranking: a short address per club that a coach can read out loud.
Search does matter for winning new clubs. Club secretaries look for “football kit supplier”, “club webshop” or “team kit with names” plus a region. A page that explains how a club joins your shop, with your region in the text, answers that search.
AI assistants are also used by club volunteers: “how can our football club sell kit online without managing stock”. A page that answers that question plainly can bring you a new club.
How does Atelier Web build a sports club shop website?
Louis starts with a conversation about how ordering runs now: which clubs, which items, which sizes, how printing and delivery work, where it goes wrong. A proposal follows with the shop structure and the functions you need.
Promosport is the reference. The webshop sells football kit to players of about ten clubs, and Atelier Web has managed it for several years. That experience covers the season peaks, size questions and the work of keeping many clubs apart in one shop.
Louis writes the shop texts and FAQs, and you check them. Shops are built in Dutch, French or English. Behind the scenes, Atelier Web handles the domain name, security and small changes such as new opening hours.
What does a sports club shop website cost?
A quote follows your request. The main factors are the number of clubs, the number of products, personalisation with names and numbers, payment and delivery options, the languages and whether you want Atelier Web to manage the shop or prefer to run it yourself.
Each quote includes design, the shop setup, product texts, testing before the season opens and an explanation so you can add products yourself. Your customer data stays with you.
How do you handle the start-of-season rush?
Plan the order window. Most kit orders come in during a few weeks at the start of the season, so open the window early, publish the deadline in the club channels and close it on a fixed date. That lets you bundle orders per club and send them to your supplier in one go.
Test the shop before the window opens: every club section, every size, the name and number fields, payment. A small error multiplied by hundreds of orders costs you a September. Tell Louis how your season runs, and the quote will include the right setup and support.

03Frequently asked questions
Questions sports club shops ask about their website
Can one webshop serve several sports clubs?
Yes. Each club gets its own section with its own kit, colours and order deadline. Promosport supplies players of about ten clubs through one webshop.
How do players order the right size?
With a size guide on every product page and, where possible, a fitting moment at the club before the order window opens. Clear guides reduce returns.
Can players add their name or number to a shirt?
Yes. The product page can ask for a name and number with the order, so the printer receives everything in one place.
Who maintains the webshop during the season?
That depends on the agreement. Atelier Web has managed the Promosport webshop for several years, and can also show your committee how to manage products and orders yourselves.
Who takes care of hosting and the domain name?
Atelier Web. Hosting and the domain name are part of the yearly maintenance package, along with updates, backups and security. You have one contact and nothing technical to follow up.
