Tennis club membership payments.
Junior, adult and family memberships for a club year you set, often from January or from the spring. Competition players can be listed for Tennis Ireland from the spreadsheet you download.
The season
Outdoor tennis is busiest from spring to autumn. Many clubs also have floodlit or indoor play in the winter, so the membership year is often a full year. Common start dates are January and the spring. Set the dates the club actually uses.
On subs.ie you set the season dates and a due date. Email reminders count from that due date. They go out on the days you choose, never more than one every three days, and they stop once the member has paid.
Juvenile, adult and family rates
Junior, adult and family rates are the usual ones. A student rate and a social membership, for people who use the club without playing competitions, are easy to add. You set every price.
The club names each membership and sets the price. A type can have a minimum age, a maximum age, or both, checked on a date you choose. A family membership is one price. You can limit how many adults and how many children it includes. An adult, for that count, is 18 or over on that date. On other memberships you can cap what a household pays, so a family is not charged more than the amount you choose.
Members can pay the full amount by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. A treasurer can record cash, a bank transfer or a cheque, and those payments have no online fee. A membership can be split into 2 to 10 monthly payments of at least €5. Members only see instalments once that option is switched on for the club. The detail is in Instalments for club fees.
Registration and insurance
Clubs register competition players with Tennis Ireland. A social member who does not need a registration number can be a separate membership. Any Tennis Ireland amount the club passes on is a price you type in.
- Roster: everyone this season, with date of birth, age grade, guardian contact, membership and what has been paid.
- Registration: names, dates of birth, gender, address and governing body numbers.
- Insurance: counts by membership category and age band, with no names.
- Finance ledger: payments, refunds and payments the treasurer recorded, with fees and payouts.
Exports are spreadsheets. subs.ie does not file a return with Tennis Ireland. You download the file when you need it.
Memberships and exports are on Features. The fee for an online payment is on Pricing. Every sport is listed on the sports guides.
Questions
When do tennis clubs usually collect membership fees?
Many clubs collect for a year starting in January or in the spring. Outdoor play is busiest from spring to autumn, and winter play can sit in the same membership.
Can adults and children be different prices?
Junior, adult and family rates are the usual split. A student or social membership can be added beside them. Each membership has its own price and its own age rule, checked on a date you set. A family membership is one price. You can limit how many adults and children it includes, and you can cap what a household pays.
Does subs.ie register players with Tennis Ireland?
No. Registration with Tennis Ireland stays with the club. A governing body number can be stored on the member and is included in the registration spreadsheet. You download the file. subs.ie does not send it.
What does a tennis club pay for an online payment?
One fee on each online payment, including VAT and the card fees. The club decides whether it covers that fee or the member sees it as its own line. Cash, a bank transfer or a cheque recorded by the treasurer has no online fee. The pricing page shows the rate.
