Clubnest helps junior angling clubs manage memberships, book coaching, handle safeguarding, and engage families — all from one secure, mobile-friendly platform built for the UK.
Most junior angling clubs juggle spreadsheets, paper consent forms and scattered messages. Clubnest centralises everything — so your welfare officers, coaches and volunteers can focus on safe, enjoyable fishing. From safeguarding controls and incident logs to match sign-ups and renewals, the platform is purpose-built for UK junior clubs in line with good practice.
Linked parent/guardian accounts, junior profiles, medical notes, emergency contacts and age-based permissions in one secure place.
DBS tracking, digital consent, restricted data access, incident/accident reports and audit trails that keep your records consistent.
Coach ratios, skill levels, waiting lists, QR check-in, attendance exports and printable registers for delivery on the bank.
Fixtures, pegs, weigh-in, leaderboards and shareable results to keep parents engaged and juniors motivated.
Online join/renew, family bundles, Gift Aid prompts, instalments, invoices and digital proof of membership.
Announce sessions, email or SMS updates, and publish to your website in real-time — all mobile-first and accessible.
Parents can manage multiple juniors from a single login, add medical/allergy notes and provide digital consent for photos, trips and transport. Age-based permissions ensure young anglers only see what’s appropriate, while guardians receive confirmations, reminders and results automatically.
For administrators, this creates a single source of truth: up-to-date contact details, emergency information and attendance history that reduces paperwork and improves safety on the bank.
Safeguarding isn’t a bolt-on — it’s baked into workflows. Role-based access limits who can view sensitive data, DBS status can be tracked, and digital incident logs keep a secure timeline of actions taken. Consent forms, medical notes and risk flags surface for coaches at the right time without exposing data broadly.
Clubnest supports good practice record-keeping so welfare officers can evidence decisions and follow-up steps, helping clubs remain consistent year to year even as volunteers change.
Create weekly beginners’ sessions, school-holiday coaching or match training with coach ratios and maximum group sizes. Add skill levels, downloadable PDFs and equipment lists. Parents book online; registers and QR check-in streamline arrivals; attendance feeds directly into progression notes.
Whether you’re developing newcomers or preparing teams for festivals and leagues, Clubnest keeps delivery organised and transparent.
Announce new sessions, request volunteers, share match results or last-minute peg changes. Send targeted messages (e.g., U12s in a specific venue), publish to your website and keep an archive of communications for transparency.
The result is clarity: parents know what to bring, where to be and how to support — which grows confidence and retention.
Well-run junior clubs benefit their local area: reduced antisocial behaviour around waters, less littering through education, safer use of equipment and a welcoming pathway into an outdoor, lifelong sport. Structured coaching supports mental wellbeing and positive routines for young people and families.
Clubnest helps you evidence that impact with participation stats, coaching hours and outcomes you can share with councils, schools and funders — strengthening partnerships and future bids.
Note: Your club remains the data controller; Clubnest acts as a processor and provides tools to help you meet obligations.
