Essential Features for Your Club’s Website

Your Sprocket website is more than a marketing page. It’s where new families learn who you are — and where current members find answers without emailing staff.

Most clubs get the best results when their website includes a few core pages and a consistent navigation structure.

Almost everything below can be built or updated from Website & App on the admin side.


Core Public Pages Every Club Should Have

Home Page

Your home page should answer three questions quickly:

  • Who are you?

  • What programs do you offer?

  • How does someone join?

Recommended sections:

  • Hero banner with a clear call to action (Register, Learn More, Tryouts)

  • 3–6 quick links to your most important pages

  • Highlighted programs or upcoming registrations

  • Sponsor logos and testimonials (optional but helpful)

Programs & Registration Access

Make it easy for new families to find what is open and how to register.

Common setups:

  • A dedicated “Register” page

  • A navigation link directly to your registration or Promote page

  • A section that highlights current and upcoming programs
