Clubs and groups in Spond provide a platform for coordinated communication and collaboration within specific areas of interest. These groups can range from sports clubs to school classes, parent groups, and other community organisations. Through the user friendly interface in the Spond app, you can create and manage clubs and groups, share information about events and activities, and communicate directly with group members.
Group and club administrators in the Spond app have specific privileges that give them control over how the group operates. This includes the ability to manage membership, create events, and send messages to everyone in the club or group. These privileges enable group and club administrators to organise and coordinate activities effectively, while keeping all members up to date.
Create a club/community or group in the Spond app
Creating a club/community or group in Spond is like setting up your own digital meeting place for friends, teams, clubs, or other groups you are part of. You give the group a name, add people, and before you know it, you have a place where you can chat, plan activities, and keep everyone up to date. It is a simple way to bring people together and share information.
When you create a group in Spond, you can choose between two group types:
Club or community: For sports clubs, associations, and larger communities.
Group: For teams, casual activities, and departments within a larger organisation.
💡 In the web version of the Spond app, only the group type "Group" can be created.

What is a subgroup?
A subgroup allows you to organise participants into smaller units. The subgroups function as separate entities within your main group. This makes it easier to manage and communicate with specific groups of participants. You can create and customise subgroups according to your needs, giving you more flexibility in how you manage events and activities in Spond.
For example, if you create a main group with the title "Team name Boys 03", the titles of the subgroups (teams) can be yellow/red/green or zebra/tiger/lion etc.
⚠️ NOTE: All players will be in the main group and receive invitations/notifications from there, but you can add required players to one or more specific subgroups. No one other than the members of a subgroup can see the information shared there (except admins).

Children/youth (0-17 years)
Adults (18+ years)
Mixed (all ages)
