Turn dull captions into dynamic ones.
So many clubs fall into the “played well today” trap. It’s safe but forgettable. Try this instead:
❌ “U12s get the win.”
✅ “Our U12s came to play 🔥 Big effort, big smiles, big win!”
Why it works: It’s short, energetic, and full of personality. Use emojis sparingly, but don’t be afraid to let your club’s vibe shine through. Think like a fan, not a reporter.
🧠 Lead with the Good Stuff
Don’t bury the story. Hook people in the first line. Instead of this:
“It was a cool afternoon and the team arrived early for their final match…”
Try this:
“Two goals in five minutes. The team weren’t messing around.”
Put the action or emotion up top. If your post doesn't grab attention straight away, it's getting scrolled past.
🎯 Call-to-Action to Copy
Even simple ones can spark interaction. Here are a few CTA examples you can use straight away!
🗨 “What was your favourite moment from today’s match? Tell us below 👇”
→ Great for post-match wrap-ups or highlight posts.
🗨 “Who stood out this week? Drop their name in the comments and show them some love 🙌”
→ Drives peer recognition and positivity.
🗨 “Remember this moment? Were you there? Share your memory 👇”
→ Use this with an old photo or club memory to create nostalgia. Remind people what to do with your post, whether it’s commenting, tagging, or sharing.
