Setting up your organisation on Abler is essential for seamless management of training plans, staff coordination, event scheduling, and communication with players and guardians. Follow these steps to get your club up and running and ensure an efficient start.

 

1. Log in to your account

When you have your account up and running, you should see a view like the one below. If not, please reach out for assistance at www.abler.io.


2. Add other admins to Abler

Ensure the appropriate individuals have administrative access to help manage your club’s operations effectively. (See Assigning roles in Abler.)


3. Organise participant groups

Divide your club members into age-appropriate or skill based groups for better management. This will streamline event scheduling and communication. (Check out Creating and editing groups for guidance.)


4. Set up venues

Create and name the venues such as sports fields and meeting rooms for easy event booking and scheduling. (See Adding venues for your club.)


5. Assign coaches and staff

Ensure each group has an assigned coach or staff member. This step is vital for tracking group activities and responsibilities. (See Creating a coach/staff member for more details.)


6. Prepare training plans and schedule events

Develop training plans and schedule practices, matches or other events for your groups. This step ensures participants and guardians have visibility into upcoming activities. Have coaches prepare training plans before players are invited, ensuring members can see these plans as soon as they access their accounts. (For tips, see Creating and editing events as an admin and Create training plan - Coaches for instructions.)


7. Invite players and guardians

Once your training plans are in place, add players to their respective groups and invite guardians to create their accounts. Bulk-invite players and their guardians to join the platform. (See Bulk uploading players to groups.)
 

8. Create discount codes (optional)

Consider creating discount codes for special promotions so that participants can take advantage of special offers. (See Maximising Sales with Discount Codes.)


9. Create services

Set up services to manage registrations and training fees. Use your booking platform to offer training camps, trials, and other services to your par. (See Creating and editing services.)


10. Add your club's Terms and Conditions to a division

Upload your club's terms and conditions for member reference during registration. (See Add Terms and conditions to a division.)


11. Announce your club's transition to Abler

Communicate with your club members that your club is now using Abler for all management and communication. Invitations should already be sent, but monitor who has connected using the Statistics page. (See Statistics for more details.)


12. Final check and support
