BridgeERP for sports clubs: Memberships, courts and competitions for sports clubs

The roll, and what each member owes

Every membership is a yearly subscription invoiced from the member, and the app keeps each member's status from that invoice.

  1. Accounting

    Who has not settled

    Four members have an invoice out, two are waiting on a draft and six have not renewed for this year.

Inside the app

What is inside

The apps a members' club runs on, and what each does for the year.

  • The membership roll

    Each category and year is a membership product with its own dates and fee, and every member is invoiced from their own record.

  • Status from the invoice

    A member is waiting while the invoice is a draft, invoiced once it is posted and paid once it is settled; last year's members show as old.

  • Families and associates

    The spouse and the children are associate members of the main member, and their status follows the membership that covers them.

  • Honorary members

    A free member keeps their place on the roll without an invoice.

  • Courts by the hour

    Tennis and squash courts are bookable resources on the club's opening hours, one booking at a time, each for the length that sport is played.

  • Who played, who did not

    Each booking is marked checked in or no-show, so the court sheet shows the day as it happened.

  • Competitions with entries

    Every competition is an event with a member entry and a guest entry at their own fee, a limit of places and the entries of the members who play.

  • The clubhouse till

    The dining room and the terrace are table plans at the till, and a member can sign the bill to their account and settle it later.

Entries by competition

Every competition of the season with the entries it took, so the committee sees which days fill and which do not.

Who uses it

Who uses it, and what they see

One system for the office, the courts, the committee and the clubhouse.

  • Club office

    Invoices the year's subscriptions, follows who has paid and keeps the roll up to date.

  • Reception

    Books the courts, checks members in and marks the no-shows.

  • Competitions committee

    Opens each competition, sets the entry fees and the places, and closes the entry list.

  • Clubhouse

    Takes orders on the table plan, splits the bill and signs it to a member's account.

In your country

Your currency, payments and taxes

Set to the country the club is in.

  • Company currency

    Subscriptions, entry fees and clubhouse bills are kept in the currency of the company; the demo club charges in KES.

  • Prices with tax included

    A tax can be included in the price, so the published menu price is what the member pays and the VAT is worked out of it; the demo follows a Kenyan example.

  • The payment methods members use

    Each till has its own payment methods; the demo clubhouse takes mobile money, card and cash, and a member account for bills settled later.

  • Accounting by country

    Accounting packages for more than 100 countries set up the chart of accounts, the taxes and the tax report.

Questions

Questions about Sports Clubs

Not covered here? Contact us.

Can we invoice every member for the year in one run?

Yes. Each category and year is a membership product with its own dates and fee, and the invoice is created from the member on that product, so the roll and the invoices stay in step.

How do we see who has not paid yet?

Each member carries a status worked out from their invoice: waiting while it is a draft, invoiced once it is posted, paid once it is settled, and old when the year they paid for has passed.

Can a family membership cover the spouse and the children?

Yes. They are associate members of the main member, and their status follows the membership that covers them.

Do honorary members need an invoice?

No. An honorary member is a free member: they keep their place on the roll with no invoice.

Can members book the tennis and squash courts?

Yes. Each court is a resource that takes one booking at a time on the club's opening hours, for the length that sport is played, and every booking is checked in or marked as a no-show.

Can a member sign the clubhouse bill and pay later?

Yes. The bill is taken on the member's account at the till and settled later against their balance.
