How to Create a New Club

By Matt Todaro

Founder, Head of Product

• In order to create a club on Sportamingo.com you must have created a login account. If you have not already done so, please do so before continuing.

• Any amateur sports club located in the United States or Canada is eligible to join Sportamingo.

1. Go to https://sportamingo.com/register or click the Register a Club button in the top right corner.

2. Please enter the required information.

   Which version should I select?

   • The Sportamingo.com version is the quickest way to get up-and-running.

     You'll be asked to choose a username to create a club profile link similar to https://sportamingo.com/yourclub

     Once your club is created everything will be managed through sportamingo.com.

   • Alternatively, you have the option to self-host.

     • This is the exact same software we use on sportamingo.com but with one major difference: you have complete control over your data.

     • When parents register for an event the data is stored in a database you control, where only your staff can access it.

     • Parents register for accounts on your website, not with Sportamingo.

     • Your club will still have full access to our support team.

     • The software can be installed as a plugin for existing WordPress websites or hosted on a sub-domain (ie:dashboard.yourclub.com) if you're hosting with SportsEngine, Wix, Squarespace, etc.

     • The Sportamingo software requires a VPS server with at least 2gb of RAM and PHP7+

     • Sportamingo provides hosting and server management at $30 / month, paid annually. However, this add-on is not required. If you are familiar with hosting environments you can skip this and install the software on an existing server assuming it meets the requirements.

3. When finished entering the information, click the Register Organization button.

4. Sportamingo will create your club immediately.

   We will use the My Account Information section to create an admin account for the organization.

   After you login to sportamingo.com using that email address you will be able to access the club admin dashboard.

5. All clubs are required to setup a Stripe payments account in order to access their free suite of club admin tools.

   This will allow us to accomplish two things:

   1. Process credit card and ACH payments on your behalf when you send out invoices or collection registration fees through the form builder.

   2. This will ensure that only verified and legitimate organizations are using the Sportamingo platform.

   For help creating your payments account, please read the following guide:
