Big Academy Ambitions: How to Build a Professional Club with ProTrainUp?

From Passion to an Organizational Role Model – The Example of Podgórska Sports Academy

Even at the scale achieved by Podgórska Sports Academy (over 400 players), the challenges remain the same: how to stay on top of finances without spending entire nights buried in spreadsheets? The answer came with automation, which unlocked the club's potential and allowed it to focus on what matters most – the sport.

Katarzyna Piwowarczyk, Co-owner of the academy, speaks on how technology changes daily life:

"Implementing the ProTrainUp system along with Przelewy24 payment integration has significantly streamlined our club's financial management. With over 400 players, plus camp and day-camp participants – the time previously spent handling fees, which used to take dozens of hours a month, has been cut down to... a few minutes.

There are very few parents left who, for various reasons, pay fees directly to the bank account. The situations where there were uncertainties regarding transfers have also ended – everything is automatically posted to the account in ProTrainUp, and finally, there are no misunderstandings."

Your Club Doesn't Have to Be Big to Be Managed Like a Pro

The biggest barrier for boutique academies is often the belief that "such systems aren't for us." ProTrainUp effectively deconstructs this myth. The system was designed to support local clubs and schools that operate with an optimal budget but have massive growth ambitions.

For a club where every helping hand is worth its weight in gold, the time saved is priceless. Instead of monitoring payments, you can focus on:

• Improving training quality and youth development,
• Building strong relationships with the local community,
• Planning the athletic development of your charges.

Whether you're coaching kids in football, volleyball, or tennis, the system provides tools that level the playing field in the race for the title of the most professional organization in the region.

A Simple System That Solves Complex Problems

Implementing ProTrainUp is a clear signal to parents: "we are modern, we care about your convenience and transparency of settlements." The fee system becomes your silent office support, which:

• Automatically records payments, eliminating errors and "lost" transfers.
• Provides parents with modern payment methods they know from everyday online shopping.
• Builds trust, as the settlement status is always clear and available at their fingertips in the app.
