LiftLink for youth sports carpooling

Training on Tuesday. An away match on Saturday. One shared lift plan for the team.

Organise who’s going, who can drive and who needs a lift — there and home — without losing the plan in a group chat.

A carpool plan for the whole team

Youth sports lift sharing means more than finding a spare seat. A parent might drive to training but need someone else to bring their child home. Another can help only if needed. LiftLink brings those answers together for each date, so parents and organisers can see the transport still to arrange.

  1. 01 / Invite your group

    Add the sports dates

    Create a recurring training session or a one-off match with its time and venue. Share the invitation link with the parents in your group.

  2. 02 / Gather the answers

    Offer seats, or ask for a lift

    Parents answer for their children and choose transport for each journey. Spare seats don’t include their own children. Back-up and flexible one-way offers help cover the gaps.

  3. 03 / See the arrangement

    Know who’s in each car

    LiftLink works out lifts using the available seats, family rules and proximity. See the plan for there and home, including any children who still need transport.

See the parents’ guide

Shared journeys. Private family details.

Only adults have accounts. Other families see children’s first names and surname initials, while exact pick-up addresses are shown only to the driver taking them.

Parents can privately rule out particular drivers for their children. Offering seats is not permission for a long detour: collecting or dropping off another family’s child more than five miles from the driver’s home needs that driver’s explicit agreement.

Read about privacy

Fewer cars, without last-minute surprises

More than eight hours before the event, LiftLink can combine cars and group nearby children automatically, where seats and family rules allow. Organiser changes are respected until an answer changes.

Within eight hours, moving children between cars needs both drivers’ agreement or an organiser’s action. Parents can change their own transport offer, and updates help families keep track of their child’s lift.

From weekly training to away fixtures

Use the same approach for hockey, football, rugby or other children’s sports: a private group, the right date and venue, and a clear answer from each family. LiftLink coordinates lifts between parents you invite — it is not a service for booking professional drivers.
