Adding A New Activity

The activity name should reflect the different levels within the Sub-category. (E.g., T-Ball, Little League) This will simplify the registration process for your patrons and allow you to run a report specific to each sporting event. Next you will need to select the youth sports �Registration Method�.

Once you click [OK] as shown above a new box will populate called �Add/Edit Youth Sport League Definition�. The next steps will walk you through how to set-up a basic youth league registration.

Add/Edit Team or Youth Sport league definition-The Description and method you put in on step 2 will auto populate in the top section as shown below. You will only need to add the Start/End dates along with the Category before continuing onto the registration tab.

Registration Tab

There are two major sections on this tab; the Settings and Restrict Registration.

Settings

       Waitlist Option- In this section you will need to determine if you want a waitlist available and, if so, how many people you want to allow on the waitlist. If a spot becomes available then the system will only allow you to register people on the waitlist until it has been cleared, before you can open it back up to the public.

       Allow Registration Directly to a Team- If this is selected you can allow people to sign up with a team from the years prior. (E.g., If you had the Hawks, Blue Jays and Eagles then there would be a place for them to select one of those teams.) However, if they are not sure what team they should select then there is an option that says �Assign me a Team�.

       Max # Teams- This allows you to limit the number of teams allowed to register

       Max Per Team- This allows you to limit how many people can register per team. The max allow will auto calculate as soon as you enter the number of teams and players allowed.

Restrict Registration

       Members Only Registration may be restricted to only patrons with a membership, and may be further restricted based on the privilege level associated with their membership by clicking the [] off to the right and selecting a privilege level. For example, if you have one or two membership types associated with a VIP privilege, and wanted to restrict registration to only those two membership types you would select the VIP privilege. Click [Here] to see how to set up your memberships.

       Residents Only- This feature will only allow patrons that are in the specified residential area to be allowed to sign up for this activity.

       Age At Least- This option will allow you to specify the participants by age. You can restrict by birthday or just age. Keep in mind that the date will go off the program date if you go by age instead of birthday specific. ��

       Don�t Use Signup Dates- This option will allow patrons to register at any time before or during the activity.(E.g., If the dates of the activity start�s on 6/01/2021 and ends 8/31/2021 and this option is selected the patron would be able to register for the event until 8/31/2021.)

       Use Walkup Signup Dates- This feature will allow you to set the start and end times of registrations.

Once you have selected the settings/ restriction you want on your activity, click on the [Walkup Tab].

Walkup Fees Tab

There are two major sections on this tab Walkup Fee Strategy, GL account/Taxes.

Walkup Fees Strategy

This feature allows you to pick from a list of different fee options.

Below is an explanation of each fee option and their functionality.

Single Fee- This option allows for a single fee to be charged to your patron no matter if they are a resident, member or not.

Member/ Nonmember- This option will let you set the specific price points by using Members vs Nonmembers.

Resident/ Nonresident- This option will let you set the specific price points by using Resident vs. Nonresident patrons.

Both Member & Resident Logic- This option will let you use both the member and resident option combined to specify your price point.

GL Account & Taxable

GL Account- This section allows you to set the GL account type for the activity. If you are charging for the sporting event then you must add a GL account in this section. To see how to add a new GL account if the one you are looking for is not listed in the drop down, click [Here].

Taxable- This section allows you to determine if the activity will be taxable or not. You can also check that you will accept Partial Payments or not. Partial Payments will allow your patron to put a minimum amount down, while the remaining balance goes on their account to pay later. If you set the minimum to $0.00 then your patrons will not have to pay up front and the full amount will post to their account as a balance for them to pay later.

Once you have filled out the settings for your Walkup Fees [click] on the Notes tab.

Notes Tab

In this section you have three areas you can customize a message for your Patrons, Internal Users and Coaches.
