Who is it for? |
| |
Clubspaces is for any type of club – sports teams and leagues, scout troops, mother’s clubs, PTA’s – virtually any type of club that needs an easy way to manage their club. Many national organizations, such as AYSO, National Junior Basketball, ASA, PONY and USA Volleyball have selected Clubspaces to be their exclusive provider of club management services for their members.
|
 |
What is Clubspaces? |
| |
Each Clubspace is an online hub that enables a club to efficiently manage club operations, communicate with members, volunteers, and parents, and connect with other clubs. Clubspaces brings all of the complex activities required to run and manage a club together in one seamless experience.
|
 |
How many users can we have? |
| |
As many as you want. There is no limit to the number of members you can have in your club, administrators whom you permit to access the tools, or the number of documents you can store.
|
 |
Is it just a website? |
| |
No. A club website is just one of the features. All of the tools to manage your club are accessible online through your Clubspace Admin Panel. As an administrator you will have access to all of the behind-the-scenes tools, and can also give access to others. Registrars and Treasurers can set up your payment options to collect fees, and then a member can pay those fees right through your club website. Your club’s Scheduler can update the club calendar through the Admin Panel, which automatically appears on the central calendar for all members to see.
|
 |
Do I need to install any software? |
| |
No, Clubspaces is an online tool. All you need is a web browser. This also means that you never need to back up data, store paper documents, or install any updates. You and your members can access your Clubspace at any time.
|
 |
What if I need help? |
| |
We’re always here to help. Once you sign up you will have immediate access to our Help Library, which is chock full of how-to’s, frequently asked questions and answers, and a powerful search tool for specific questions. And you can always contact a Clubspaces support team member directly.
|
 |
Why is it free? |
| |
From its inception the founders wanted to offer Clubspaces free to all clubs so that they could direct their limited budget towards the actual activities that brought them together in the first place. The only service we charge for is the registration and payment tool. Members pay a registration service fee of $2.00 per transaction (plus any third party fees charged by credit or debit card merchant services). The member registration fee covers each member who registers online. Clubspaces’ goal and philosophy is to be supported by advertising revenues. Customers that would like to opt-out of the advertising supported service can elect to purchase a subscription based service for between $20 and $50 per month, depending upon the number of members in your club.

 |
How does the advertising work? |
| |
Clubspaces is subsidized by a professional sponsorship program. We operate a stringent approval process often working with the national associations before adding new sponsors to ensure advertising is 100% appropriate for members.
|
 |
Who are the sponsors? |

Clubspaces works with organization like banks, car manufacturers, sporting goods, and national retailers. For example, Wells Fargo has partnered with us to sponsor the service for a large group of soccer clubs. We are proud to work with this caliber of sponsors.
