Setting Up Your Club Team

Set up your first online registration

For club teams, it's usually not worth it to import your existing parents / wrestlers. Instead, we recommend that you focus on getting your first online registration form running—whether that's your next season or a recurring membership—which will auto-populate your WrestlingIQ account as parents sign up their wrestlers. 

If you have all of your existing registration forms, questionnaires, tax info, and bank account info ready, you should be able to be running with about an hour of your time. Once you are ready, here are the steps to get up and running.

1. Create a registration or membership
2. Set up registration questions for wrestlers
3. Set up registration questions for parents
4. Configure documents for e-signing
5. Establish up insurance
   1. Look into WrestlingIQ Insurance or other general liability protections
   2. Set up USA Wrestling info collection (optional)
6. Activate WrestlingIQ Payment Processing

Testing your online registration

If you'd like to test your registration configuration, I'd recommend setting up a secret 100% off scholarship code so you don't have to spend real money to ensure everything is working properly. Go to the session registrations page, then open the url of session you'd like to test in an incognito browser (or in your current browser if you want to see what registration looks like for returning parents/coaches).

Next steps

For registrations, the best practice is to send your link ahead of time, so that you don’t get a giant line waiting on a single iPad. With WIQ, you don’t really need a big “registration day” like in the world of pen and paper - simply send a link and they do everything before they step foot in the facility. You can put that link on social media, text, email, your website, a flier, etc. Your team registration link can be found on your team settings page:

If you really need something in facility, the best option would be make a QR code on a flier, have the parent scan it and use their personal phone to sign up on the software and create their account.

Other Features to Explore

Once you have completed the five steps above, you might be interested in some of WrestlingIQ's other features. In most circumstances, you'll naturally lean into these as your season gets underway. Here are a few key features you might find useful.
