Before & after

Sports club — with and without Membear

Typical scenarios from sports club life.

Time saved

12+hrs/year

Less effort on sign-ups, event fees and annual contributions — typical for sports clubs with 80–200 members.

Sum of three scenarios: 12 hours

  • New members at season start

    ≈ 5 hrs saved

    Without Membear

    Paper forms at training, typing up in the evening, chasing fees via TWINT screenshots — and addresses still missing before the first session.

    With Membear

    Online registration on your website: data and fee in one step. You confirm with a few clicks — ready before season start.

  • Tournament and camp fees

    ≈ 4 hrs saved

    Without Membear

    WhatsApp list of who is coming, Excel of who paid, treasurer chasing open amounts one by one.

    With Membear

    Event with participation fee: members sign up and pay online. You see immediately who is in and who has paid.

  • Annual fees

    ≈ 3 hrs saved

    Without Membear

    Creating invoices manually, sending PDFs, maintaining payment status in a separate list.

    With Membear

    Batch run for all members, TWINT payments reconcile automatically. Before the AGM: one glance is enough.

Estimates for volunteer boards; depends on member count and previous process.

Questions from sports clubs

Practical answers for sports club boards.

Do we need SportMember or is Membear enough?
Membear covers member management, fees, events and online registration. SportMember is stronger for team squads and training stats — Membear is the lean alternative without per-member pricing.
Can juniors and parents pay different fees?
Yes — via membership types (junior, active, family) you set fees per group.
Does this work for passive members?
Yes. Passive members get the right fee and can pay themselves in the portal.
What does Membear cost for our sports club?
The core version is free — unlimited members. For invoicing you set up zahls.ch.
