Official Club Groups & Premium Community Feed
Auto-syncing member groups, a public community space, and a feed that feels like a real social platform — all built into your club admin.
The Problem
Most clubs create a "Members" group and then spend hours manually adding new members, removing churned ones, and chasing down who should be in which group. When a membership expires at midnight, nobody removes that person from the group at midnight. The group roster drifts out of sync with reality and the "Members Group" becomes meaningless.
Meanwhile, the group feed itself feels like an afterthought — a plain text box with no visual hierarchy, no way to highlight important announcements, and no way to control which posts stay at the top. Club managers resort to reposting the same announcement every day just to keep it visible.
Official Club Groups
One click creates two official groups for your club — a Members group that stays in perfect sync with your active memberships, and a Community group that's open to the public. No manual member management required.
Official Members Group
Auto-populated from your active club memberships. When someone joins your club, they're added. When a membership expires or is cancelled, they're removed. Zero manual work.
Official Community Group
A public-facing community space for your club. Open to anyone — prospective members, visiting players, and the local pickleball community. Add members manually as you see fit.
Real-time sync. The members group doesn't just sync once — it stays in sync continuously. New membership at 2am? They're in the group at 2am. Membership cancelled? They're out. No cron jobs, no batch processes, no drift.
How It Works
Setting up official groups takes about five seconds. The system handles everything else.
Premium Feed Experience
The group feed has been completely redesigned with a social-platform feel. Post cards, type indicators, author badges, pinned posts, and threaded comments — everything your members expect from a modern community platform.
Enhanced Compose
Click-to-expand compose area with your avatar, post type pills (Discussion, Announcement), and a character counter. Feels like writing a real social post.
Pinned Posts
Pin up to 3 important posts to the top of the feed. Announcements, rules, weekly schedules — whatever needs to stay visible.
Post Type Banners
Announcements get an orange banner. Polls get purple. Every post type is instantly recognizable with color-coded type indicators.
Threaded Comments
Reddit-style nested replies with indent lines. First 2 comments shown by default, "View all" expander for longer threads. Clean visual hierarchy.
Author Role Badges
Organizer and Admin badges next to author names so members always know who's speaking with authority.
Engagement Actions
Like, comment, pin, and delete — all in a clean action bar beneath each post. Like counts and comment counts always visible.
What This Means for Club Managers
No more manual group maintenance — membership changes sync automatically, 24/7
Announcements stay visible — pin important posts instead of reposting daily
Two-group strategy — private members-only channel + open community for prospects
Official groups can't be accidentally deleted — protected by the system
Professional look and feel — premium card-based feed instead of plain text
Better engagement — threaded conversations keep discussions organized
Streamlined Tab Layout
The group show page now uses a clean three-tab layout: Feed, Games, and Members. The old Feed and Board tabs have been merged into a single unified Feed — every post, announcement, and discussion in one place with a clean chronological timeline.
Pinned posts always appear at the top, separated by a divider from the regular feed. The compose area sits above everything — always accessible, always inviting members to contribute.
