International Gay Rugby
Free for every IGR member club.
Openside was built for the Tsurumi Brats, an IGR member club in Tokyo. If your club is an IGR member too, hosting costs you nothing: the same site, the same support, your own domain. Sign up, tell us your club, and we'll confirm your membership.
How free hosting worksEverything a club needs
One place for the season, the squad and the people who'll join next.
Fixtures and results
Season by season, home and away, with a calendar feed fans can subscribe to. Scores, scorers and a link to the match report.
Tournaments
Listed before the draw is out, games grouped beneath once it is, kick-offs in the tournament's local time.
Team sheets on the pitch
Pick the side in the admin and show it in formation, with player cards, appearances, tries and points. 15s, 10s, 7s and Touch.
"Come to training"
Training times, how a first session works, an FAQ and an enquiry form. New players get a confirmation email with a calendar invite.
News and match reports
Posts link to the match, the tournament and the sponsors involved, and look right when shared on social media.
Sponsors
Sponsors by level and season, "become a sponsor" packages and an enquiry form, and a reminder when a sponsorship is due to renew.
Squad and gallery
Players, coaches and committee, and photo albums with a lightbox. Players who'd rather not be shown stay hidden.
In your club's languages
English, Japanese and Traditional Chinese, side by side in the admin. Turn on one, two or all three.
An admin that says what's next
New enquiries, results and reports to write, drafts, and content still missing a translation, on one dashboard.
How it works
From sign-up to kick-off in four steps.
-
Sign up
Tell us your club's name, where you play and your languages. Pay by card, or apply as an IGR member club.
-
Your site is created
At a temporary address, with demo content so you can see how it all works. Sign in to the admin and start filling it in.
-
Work through the checklist
Point your domain and send us your crest and colours. Each step has a guide, and we check it's done for you.
-
Go live
When every check is green, press Launch. Your site moves to your domain with its certificate, and we look after it from there.
Hosting, handled
No servers, no plugins, no volunteer who's the only one who knows the password.
Committees change every year. The website shouldn't have to. Your club owns its content and its domain; we run everything underneath.
- Your own domain, with a security certificate that renews itself.
- Email that works from day one: training confirmations and enquiry replies, with replies coming back to your club.
- Nightly backups of your content and photos, kept off the server.
- New features as they ship, to every club, with no upgrades to run.
- Fast on a phone, found by search engines, and tidy when shared on social media.
Built by a club
Openside started as the website for the Tsurumi Brats, an inclusive club for Greater Tokyo and Kanagawa. Every feature is one a committee actually asked for.
