Pitchwise gives your league Goal of the Week for free. It doesn't give you a vote, a table, or a sponsor. The league-owned competition. Here's how it works.
Pitchwise (pitchwise.uk) launched a /for-leagues page this cycle. £0 to the league. Teams subscribe individually. Goal of the Week. Monthly compilations. Season reviews. A league hub of every team's highlights.
The worked case: "We went from a results table on a council website to Goal of the Week content across 20 teams. Sponsors actually want to talk to us now." (League Secretary, Bristol Sunday League.)
That's a real result. That's a real quote. That's a real transformation. From a results table to a content hub. Sponsors want to talk to them now.
But Pitchwise's Goal of the Week is a clip. A highlight. A video. It's content. It's not a competition.
There's no vote. There's no table. There's no season leaderboard. There's no final-night award. There's no sponsor on the voting page. It's a clip that gets posted. That's it.
The Isthmian League already runs a Goal of the Week by Google Form. The format is proven. A club submits a clip. The league posts it. People vote. A winner is announced. A sponsor's name is on the voting page.
The Isthmian League does this with a Google Form. No product. No platform. No automation. Just a form and a spreadsheet.
The gap is the league-owned Goal of the Week competition. Not a clip. A competition. With a vote. A table. A season leaderboard. A final-night award. A sponsor on the voting page.
Five components. One competition. Runs every week. Builds to a season finale.
Every club in the league can submit one goal per week. The submission is a clip. 30 seconds maximum. Uploaded via a link or a form. The league reviews and approves. Approved clips go into the weekly vote.
One submission per club per week. That's the rule. It keeps the volume manageable and gives every club a chance.
The league posts the nominated goals on social media. One post. All the clips. A voting link. Parents, players, and fans vote. Voting closes at 9pm on Sunday. The winner is announced Monday morning.
The vote drives engagement. Parents vote for their child's goal. Players vote for their teammates. Opponents vote for the best goal. The league's page gets traffic every week.
A season-long leaderboard. Every goal that wins Goal of the Week gets 3 points. Runner-up gets 1 point. The table is published weekly. Updated every Monday.
The table drives conversation. "Who's top of the Goal of the Week table?" "How many has [club] won?" "Can [club] catch up?" Parents talk about it. Players talk about it. The league's page becomes a destination.
One sponsor on the voting page. One sponsor on the announcement post. One sponsor on the season leaderboard. The sponsor's name in the title: "[Sponsor Name] Goal of the Week."
The sponsor gets weekly visibility. The league gets £100-£200/month in sponsorship revenue. The sponsor gets their name in front of every parent, player, and fan who votes.
End of season. The top 3 goals from the season. A vote. A winner. A trophy. A presentation at the league's awards night.
The final-night award is the culmination. It's the moment the season's best goal is crowned. It's the moment the sponsor's name is read out. It's the moment the league celebrates its best content.
16 teams. 16 submissions per week (one per club). 5 goals selected for the weekly vote. Voting closes Sunday 9pm. Winner announced Monday.
Season: 30 weeks. 30 weekly votes. 30 winners. 30 points awarded. Season leaderboard published weekly.
Sponsor: £150/month = £1,800/season. The sponsor gets their name on 30 weekly votes, 30 announcements, 30 leaderboard updates, and the final-night award.
The league gets £1,800/season in sponsorship revenue. The clubs get a reason to submit their best goals. The parents get a reason to vote. The players get recognition.
In 18 cycles of competitor sweeping, we've found 15+ entrants. Graphics. Captions. Auto-publishing. Sponsor tracking. Fantasy leagues. Whole-club OS platforms. Fan databases. Club-wide rollout tools. Written content generators. Chat platforms. Management apps. Fan-run documentary channels. Sponsor outcome reports. Parent messages. Handover documents. Fan economies. Named sponsor series.
Pitchwise gives the clip. The Isthmian League runs the vote by Google Form. Nobody sells the competition. The league-owned Goal of the Week with a vote, a table, a sponsor, and a final-night award.
The league's Goal of the Week is the gap. It's the most shareable single asset in grassroots football. It's the competition that every league can run. It's the sponsor that every league can sell.
