Being in More Than One Club
One Badminton Clubhouse account can hold memberships across any number of clubs. Here's how to join, switch, and manage them.
Being in More Than One Club
One Badminton Clubhouse account can hold memberships across any number of clubs. You sign in once, then pick the club you want to work in, the app keeps each club's data separate (members, events, teams, finances, roles) while giving you a single place to log in from.
Logging In With Multiple Memberships
When you sign in and you're an active member of more than one club, you'll land on a short Choose a club picker instead of a specific club's dashboard.
- Each of your clubs appears as a card with the club logo, name, and your membership status.
- Click any card to open that club.
- We remember the club you picked and will take you straight there the next time you open the app, after a short "Taking you to …" prompt with a Stay here button so you can escape back to the picker.
Single-club members never see the picker, signing in takes you to your dashboard as before.
The Club Switcher in the Header
Once you're signed in, the club switcher lives at the top-left of the page (next to the platform logo on /me/, or alongside the club's branding inside a club). It's the fastest way to move between your clubs without going back to the picker.
What the switcher shows
The trigger button shows the current context:
- The active club's logo and name when you're inside
/[slug]/. - "Across all clubs" when you're on a
/me/page, this means you're not viewing any single club's data. - A junior's name in brackets if the membership is a guardian-on-junior link (e.g. Sutton BC (Junior: Maya)).
What you can do with it
Click the switcher to open the menu (a dropdown on desktop, a bottom-sheet on mobile). The menu always offers:
- Across all clubs: jumps to your
/mehome, the platform-wide view of you. - My clubs: every club you belong to, with a tick next to your current one. Inactive memberships (lapsed, cancelled) appear with a small status pill.
- Find a club: link to discovery so you can join another.
If you only belong to one club, the switcher is a static chip showing that club's name, no menu, just a one-click way to its dashboard. Single-club members never see the Switch club menu.
Smart path pivoting
When you switch from one club to another from inside a feature page (say, /sbc/teams), the switcher tries to keep you on the same feature in the new club (/wbc/teams), handy when you want to compare the same surface across clubs. If the destination doesn't have a direct equivalent, you'll land on the new club's dashboard instead.
When you switch from a /me/ page, you always land on the chosen club's dashboard, /me/ paths don't pivot into a club.
Where the switcher appears
| Location | Shows |
|----------|-------|
| /me/ pages | Trigger reads "Across all clubs"; menu lets you jump into any club |
| /[slug]/ pages (member of that club) | Trigger reads the club name; menu lets you switch or go back to /me |
| /[slug]/ pages (not a member, e.g. public landing) | Trigger reads the club name as a label only; menu still works for your own clubs |
The same switcher is available on mobile and desktop, on mobile the menu opens as a bottom-sheet for thumb-friendly tapping.
Switching from the Profile Menu
Your avatar menu (top-right) includes a Switch to section. It lists every area you administer: clubs, associations, counties, and (for platform staff) the platform area, with a tick next to the one you're currently in. Day-to-day switching between clubs you play at lives in the header club switcher described above; the avatar menu's Switch to section is for committee and admin work.
Joining a Second Club
You don't need a new account to join another club. Sign in first, then open the club's application page at /apply/:
- Your name, phone, address, emergency contact, and ability level pre-fill from your existing profile, you can change any of them for this application.
- Your email is fixed to the one you're signed in with. Sign out first if you want to apply with a different email.
- Submit as normal. You'll get the usual "Thanks for applying" email.
When the new club approves your application, you'll get a short Welcome email with a login link, no new password to set. The new club appears in your header club switcher immediately.
Keeping Clubs Separate
Your clubs are independent: updating your profile in one doesn't automatically update the others, and committee members in one club can't see members, events, or finances in another. This matches how each club is managed on its own.
If you update details that apply to you generally (phone, address, emergency contact), you may want to make the same change in each club's profile page.
Leaving a Club
You can leave any club from that club's per-club page at /{slug}/membership, look for Leaving this club? → Request to leave this club. Fill in an optional reason and submit.
The committee is notified by email. Your membership stays active until they remove it; you can cancel the request any time before that from the same place on your profile.
When the committee removes your membership, you'll get a short confirmation email. The club vanishes from your header club switcher and the /clubs picker. Your account stays active so you can still use your other clubs, and you can apply to re-join later if you change your mind.
