Team only
Use team mode when one coaching staff and one roster are enough: practice schedule, games, household invites, team chat, and optional team payment events.
Add a club
Add a club when you need:
- A single place to see all linked teams
- Club Messages — one inbox for team threads across linked teams (on the web club dashboard)
- Broadcasts to segments of the organization
- Registration funnels with public links
- Club-scoped staff roles and workflows
Teams can be linked to a club; they keep their own roster and subscription unless you consolidate workflows.
Roles and permissions
Both layers also have their own staff roles that further narrow what each staff member can do:
- A team's staff are tagged Coach, Assistant Coach, Manager, Physio, or Other — the role decides whether they manage schedule and roster, billing, or just view things.
- A club's staff are tagged Club Admin, Registrar, Director, or Finance — same idea at the club level. The admin role on a club is always unrestricted by staff role.
Existing staff with no role assigned stay unrestricted (grandfathered). See Staff roles and permissions for the full per-role matrix.
Billing
- Team subscription — billed per team; unlocks that team’s app experience.
- Club subscription — billed per organization; unlocks club dashboard, broadcasts, and related tools.
Changing prices or plans in Stripe affects new checkouts; existing subscriptions may remain on legacy prices until updated in Stripe.
