When the club board finally wants online registration

Volunteer boards often resist "a website" until one chaotic season tips the vote. When they finally want online registration, do not restart a six-month DIY rebuild debate. A done-for-you working site rental is board-friendly: clear price, three-month minimum, someone else keeps pages current.

What boards need to approve

- Public price: $149 first month, then $99/month, three-month minimum - Who updates dates and fees after launch (CCCM, on your tweak requests) - Where registration money goes (your club — CCCM never holds it) - What you keep if you cancel after the minimum (content/contacts export; design stays with CCCM) - Timeline: about one business day after paid checkout and complete details

Put that in a one-page note for the next board meeting. Skip vaporware demos.

Treasurer questions to answer in the meeting

Who pays the monthly rental? Which card? Who is the content owner that emails tweak requests? What is the cancel path after three months? Boards move when money and owners are named. Vague "someone will handle the website" is how DIY projects die in October.

Avoid the committee trap

Do not assign five volunteers to "research platforms" for a year. Pick the public Register job, rent the working site, and measure whether season signup got calmer. You can talk ops software later if spreadsheets still hurt. One season of calm Register data beats a binder of vendor comparisons.

CCCM working site

- Checkout: https://www.getcccm.com/checkout - Club framing: https://www.getcccm.com/sports - We build Register, fee stack, coach interest, field notes — you send facts

Staff roster ops are a separate product conversation. Academy OS is talk-first: https://www.getcccm.com/academy-os — no public OS price.

Invented sample (not a client)

"Harborview Youth Sports Board (invented) approved a CCCM rental after the treasurer showed three months of cost vs the hours two parents spent fixing a broken builder site." Invented — not a live board.

Motion language you can paste

"Move that we rent a CCCM working site at $149 the first month and $99 thereafter with a three-month minimum, designate [Name] as content owner, and point season registration to the new Register URL before flyer day." Clear motions pass; vague "look into websites" motions die.

Success metric for the board

Agree up front: "Success = season Register URL live before flyer day, fee stack published once, fewer registrar inbox threads." Soft goals like "better online presence" never get measured.
