More members, happier members, or more value for your club's membership?

Most committees want all three. The trouble is trying to win all three at once, with the same budget, the same handful of volunteers, and within the same season.

Our new blog looks at the three ways clubs actually win, what each one costs you, and a short exercise for your next committee meeting to work out which one your club is already best placed to win.

Our 6th year powering Australasia's biggest junior sporting event!

In less than 5 days, Tauranga Moana comes alive for the Zespri AIMS Games School Sporting Championships, and once again Friendly Manager is proud to be the software behind the scenes.

Our registration and competition tools handle the heavy lifting: registrations, venue allocation, draws and results. That includes this year's draws for about 1,400 teams playing 4,600+ games across 100+ venues.

To every athlete arriving in Tauranga this week: give it everything and soak up every moment. We'll be cheering you on all week! Have a fantastic time! 💙

New features landed recently, and they're the small, practical kind that quietly take a few jobs off your list:

✅ Conditional fields on registration forms (ask follow-up questions based on earlier answers)
✅ Gender restrictions on groups/classes, so the wrong one never shows up
✅ Require two parents/contacts on a child's registration
✅ Hidden rego forms you can email to specific people
✅ Drag-and-drop your merch into the order you want
✅ A new filter on the Member and People reports, based on gender and age
✅ Xero stock that updates itself when someone orders

Switching club management systems can feel like a big undertaking, especially for volunteers already stretched thin.

The good news is, it doesn't have to be.

We sat down with our onboarding experts Nicole and Leigh to break down exactly when and how to make the switch, from picking the right time of year to getting your committee on board to what kind of support you should expect along the way.

Ever wondered what your child is actually learning at gym class?🤸‍♀️A simple roll on a mat could be the first step towards a cartwheel, a handstand, or even a somersault.

Gymnastics New Zealand partnered with Friendly Manager to help parents see that journey clearly.

Through Springboard, 35,000 recreational gymnasts across the country can now track their progress, and parents get a real window into what their child is achieving, every step of the way.

Every milestone deserves to be celebrated.🎉
