Most member portals on the market are stuck in 2015

A typical member portal is a login screen with little more than past invoices, an unfiltered calendar and a season PDF. Most don't even contemplate a mother having 3 kids in the club: when she does, they open 3 separate accounts and she ends up with 3 logins, 3 passwords and a permanent headache every time she pays a fee.

Communication is one-way: the club blasts emails or messages a parents' WhatsApp group. The family has no way to reply inside the system. If they want to ask the coach whether Saturday's match has been postponed, they hop into the WhatsApp group, find the coach and DM him privately. If they want to excuse a training absence, there's nowhere to do it.

And the member card is still made of plastic, stays at home on match day, and the member ends up arguing with the steward at the gate. There's no digital QR integrated with Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, no door validation, no automatic capacity control. In 2026 that's unacceptable: the member portal has to live in the family's phone, group the kids in a single account and let families talk back to the club.

How OneClub solves it

A portal built from day one for families, not for individual members

The gap between a 21st-century portal and a 20th-century one comes down to these four details no competitor in Spain has nailed.

One family account = N kids

The parent registers ONCE and inside their account they see all their kids as sub-profiles. They switch with a selector at the top. Kid 1's calendar, kid 2's calendar, kid 3's payments — all from the same login. That's the difference between a portal built for real youth football clubs (where 40% of families have 2-3 kids) and one copied from a gym SaaS.

Two-way comms with the coach

The parent excuses a Wednesday training absence from the portal in one click. The coach gets a notification. Replies if needed. Everything stays logged inside the system, not lost in a WhatsApp group with 80 messages a day. Two-way, archivable, auditable.

Digital QR card + Apple/Google Wallet

Every member has a digital member card with a QR code valid for entry to the pitch or hall. Added to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet with one tap and lives on the phone forever. At the gate, the steward scans the QR and validates in 0.5 seconds. Real-time capacity control, shorter queues, plastic gone.

Responsive web (no app to install)

The portal is a PWA: it works on mobile like an app, adds to the home screen with one tap, no Play Store or App Store. No installs, no forced updates, no 1-star reviews from parents who can't find the button. One URL, one login, done.

How to roll it out at your club

No migrations, no weird onboarding for families.

  1. 1

    Club invites families

    Once you turn on the fee plans or registrations, OneClub sends an automatic email to each family with a link to create their account. Takes 60 seconds: name, email, password.

  2. 2

    Family sees all their kids inside

    On login, every linked kid appears as a sub-profile. The family sees calendar per kid, upcoming matches, pending payments, documentation. They switch between kids with the top selector.

  3. 3

    Payments, comms, QR — all from mobile

    Pay fees, excuse absences, message the coach, download invoices, add the QR card to Wallet. No app to install, no training, no calls to the club.

9 in 10 families activate the portal in the first month. Legacy portals reach 40-55% adoption in their first quarter.

−68%
Calls to the club

Families self-serve in the portal what they used to ask by WhatsApp or phone. The secretary finally breathes.

+45%
Parent engagement

More attendance at matches, more survey responses, more interaction with club communications.

No app to install. Open it in the mobile browser and add to home screen with one tap.

Real case
We spent 8 years with another platform whose member portal was basically useless: parents opened it once and never came back. With OneClub half of the club logs in every week, manages their payments, excuses absences. We finally killed the 300-parent WhatsApp group.
