A free membership database
Membership management software for free? You're probably wondering what it costs. For most smaller clubs, management software isn’t included in the budget, and the idea of having a software solution might not seem attainable.
The best case scenario is to hope for free member management software. This is one of the reasons why many sports clubs and teams use Excel, as Excel already exists in most clubs. However, with SportMember you not only get the membership database management system for free but several other core management features like lineup builder, and an app everyone at the club can use.
The basic functions are all available free of charge, so you can get them without having to make room in the budget for a membership management system.
Member management software - Benefits for the club
When management of members is being done online, you can access the club membership database from any device - just type in your username and password, and you can log on from a PC, tablet or smartphone. With Sportmember you get lots of other benefits as well to manage your club and your members:
- Multiple admins: If you are a coach and only manage one sports team, it’s probably not necessary for others to have admin access to the membership database. But if you have a club with several or more teams, you can give each coach admin rights to each of their teams. This gives the coaches a good overview of their squad, and delegates responsibilities accordingly. So if a team gets a new player or a player has to be moved to another team, the coaches can manage it themselves. So multiple persons can help in keeping the membership database updated, whilst the club still retains control of the member management.
- Autonomous members: Association administration online also includes the option of decentralised use. But with the member administration freeware of SportMember, it gets even better. Since each member has their own login to the system, each player, parent and trainer can maintain their own personal information. So if a member moves, gets a new number, or just wants to add missing information to the system, the member can easily do it themselves. No need for a club leader to take care of it, making the member administration of the club a breeze.
- Instant communication: If you have an important announcement to make to all the club members you can send it in no time through the membership database software. Just select all members and send an email, push message, or SMS. Maybe an event has been cancelled or rescheduled last minute. With SportMember, you’ll be able to get the message out in no time, and you can be sure, that everyone got the message. There are lots of situations for a sports club where instant notification to all members, or just the ones you choose, can be very useful.
- Less work - more time: Member management is made easier, and the club also saves time. Instead of having to register Excel-filled papers in Excel spreadsheets, coaches can register players by only sending an invitation link to new members. For new members who have found the club through its homepage, there are also online registration forms, with which new members can easily apply for membership in the club online. The membership management software is not only simpler but also saves the club time and resources. This lets the sports club take care of more important things - more time for sport!
These are just some of the benefits you get by managing a club or team with SportMember. Since it’s only a part of our entire sports club software package for teams and clubs, there are a lot of other features that your club can benefit enormously from by having the member database as an integrated part of it. Scheduling, attendance tracking system, lineup building etc., all this becomes much easier when you use SportMember.
