Membership platforms for US sports bodies, clubs and teams in many states.

Competitive, recreational, youth, coach, official, volunteer and club administrator memberships, each with its own price, term, required waivers and benefits. Eligibility rules decide which events or levels a member can enter, and membership numbers appear on a digital card the member carries on their phone. Multi-year and lifetime options can sit alongside annual terms where your bylaws allow them.

Clubs affiliate each year, pay their own fees, and invite members to join under them. Members roll up to clubs, clubs roll up to regions and states, and each level sees reports for its own people without seeing anyone else's data. Club fees, insurance certificates and officer contacts are renewed in the same yearly cycle, with reminders to club secretaries.

Tournament and event organizers check a membership by number or scan at check in, through a lookup page or an API your event platform calls. Expired or suspended members are flagged before they compete, not after. Results and ranking systems can read the same status, so points only count for members in good standing.

Coach, official and volunteer memberships stay pending until the screening, training or background check your policies require is recorded. Expiry dates trigger reminders, and lapsed credentials pause the role without deleting the member's history. Screening providers connect through their APIs, so results update without staff typing them in.

Where children under 13 use the site, the amended COPPA rule applies, with compliance due from April 2026. Youth memberships are created and managed from a parent account, verifiable consent is collected before personal information, and data kept about minors is limited to what the sport needs. Teenagers can be given limited access of their own when they turn 13, under rules you set.

The federal Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act requires clear terms, express consent and simple cancellation. Several states add their own automatic renewal laws, with California among the strictest. We build to the strictest common standard: consent stored, reminders before annual renewals, and online cancellation in the portal. Cancellation reasons are captured so you can see why members leave.

Team supporter programs often bundle tickets, merchandise credit and early access. Since May 2025 the FTC rule on unfair or deceptive fees requires the total price, including mandatory fees, to be shown up front for live event tickets, so bundles display all in prices from the first screen. Member only presales and seat upgrades can be offered inside the portal.

Whether dues, event entries or merchandise are taxable depends on the state and on what each charge covers. We connect a tax engine such as Stripe Tax or Avalara, set the treatment per product as your tax adviser directs and track where you have obligations. Exemption certificates for schools and nonprofit clubs can be stored against the right account.

Sports membership payment integration in the USA usually means cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and ACH, with card data held by the processor to keep PCI DSS scope small. Failed payments retry on a schedule, members get reminders before lapse, and clubs can pay affiliation fees by invoice. Clubs paying for many members at once can upload a roster and pay one combined invoice.

More than a dozen states now have comprehensive consumer privacy laws, including California, Texas, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and New Jersey. We build one privacy center that handles access, deletion and opt out requests, honors browser opt out signals and keeps a log your counsel can review. Data retention periods are set per record type, so old records are removed on schedule.
