Case Study: Lightwater United FC
Keeping Grassroots Football Moving
At grassroots level, things go missing. Goal keys. Bib bags. Equipment bags. Training kit.
For volunteer-led clubs like Lightwater United FC, every item matters. Replacing lost equipment costs money. Tracking it down costs time.
That’s where TagLink came in.
The Everyday Challenge
Across training sessions and matchdays, equipment is constantly moving between coaches, players and locations.
When something is left behind, it often depends on luck whether it makes its way back.
Lightwater United FC wanted a simple, practical way to improve the odds of lost items being returned, without adding more admin for volunteers.
Introducing TagLink
As part of a pilot, the club introduced TagLink smart ID tags to selected items including:
Goal key bags
Bib bags
Equipment bags
Each tag was:
Laser engraved with club branding
Clearly labelled for identification
Linked to a secure QR code
Attached with a durable steel loop
If an item is found, the process is simple: Scan. Message. Return.
No apps. No logins. No personal details exposed.
Josh Jaswal, Manager Lightwater United FC
Simple in Practice
When something goes missing:
The finder scans the QR code.
A secure message is sent directly to the club contact.
The item can be returned quickly and easily.
As the club shared on social media:
“Things go missing and TagLink is a great way to get them back to the owner… Quick, easy and painless.”
That simplicity is the point.
Why TagLink Matters
Grassroots football runs on volunteers.
Every minute saved matters. Every piece of kit matters.
TagLink helps:
Reduce lost equipment
Save volunteer time
Improve accountability
Protect privacy
It’s a small addition with a practical impact.
Simple. Practical. Effective.
Would They Recommend It?

Quick. Easy. Painless.
