Quick start
- Sign in with the email your platform provider gave you, then open Admin.
- Branding — colours, logo, home layout, and venue map for weather.
- Events — add sessions; use session note for per-event safety messages.
- Schedule — members RSVP from the public Schedule page.
- Announcements — send important news to members.
Enrollment & members
- Review join applications (site admin)Admin → Enrollment
- Edit member profiles & child emailsAdmin → Members
The public members directory is gated — visitors must enrol or sign in first. Approved families become individual members linked under one household.
Instagram gallery
- Basic: Admin → Social → paste any public Instagram post link or image URL (one preview photo).
- Carousel (optional): Admin → Social → Connect Instagram (Business/Creator account linked to a Facebook Page).
- After connecting, paste your club's carousel post links to import up to 10 photos with swipe on the home page.
- Member posts from other accounts still show a single preview unless you upload photos manually.
Connect uses Facebook sign-in once — you do not type your Instagram password into this site.
