Want a road-map or reminder of the key steps your sports club or school needs to take to manage new registrations and renewals for the new season?

Most major sports codes use the Sporty platform for clubs and schools to register people and enter teams into competitions. Here's a quick pre-season checklist along with links to online support to ensure you're good to go for 2024.

The key steps for taking registrations online through web input forms are:

1. Ensure your web form has the question fields needed to capture the information you want. To do this, follow the instructions to Edit a Form.
2. If you're letting people pay you online, add 'products' and pricing to your form.
3. Once you're happy with your form, let people use it to register or renew:
   • Put a link to the blank version of your online form from your website, Facebook or e-Newsletter.
   • Use Sporty to automatically send a 'Magic Link' to everyone who registered last season. This lets them see their own details prefilled in your new form so they can easily update and submit it without needing to login.
   • Manually roll registrations forward from last season to your new form/database (note this is  disabled for sports codes that require participants to self-register).
4. Watch your online database grow as people register/renew through your web form. You can then use other functionality from Sporty such as:
   • Send your database of people a professionally formatted e-Newsletter.
   • Use the TeamBuilder utility to create Teams for entry into competitions.
   • Manage your people through SuperCRM member management system.
   • Export your database to Excel if you wish.
