To register your club, choose **Register my club / company** in the menu, check that it does not already exist, then complete its details and tap **Save**. You automatically become a manager of the club and land in the **Manage the club** area.

## Register the club step by step

1. Open the side menu and choose **Register my club / company** in the **Clubs** group (or **Register my structure** from **My profile** > **My clubs / companies**).
2. A message reminds you that registration is for the people who run the organisation. Tap **OK**.
3. Search for your organisation by name or initials in the **Name or initial** field. This step avoids duplicates: many clubs already exist thanks to Canicompet.
4. Depending on the result:
   - **The club appears in the list**: tap it, then confirm with **OK**. The club is activated on CaniClub Connect, you become its manager and you land directly on its seasons.
   - **The club does not appear**: tap **I can't find my club/company, I add it.** and go to the next step.
5. In the **Club** tab, fill in at least the **Name** and the **Type** (**Club** or **Company**). You are already listed under **Responsibles**; add other people if needed. For a club, choose its **Federations**.
6. Optionally add the address, **Email**, **Phone number**, websites, **Description** and **Avatar** / **Logo**.
7. In the **Location** tab, click on the map to place the club.
8. Tap **Save**. You land in the club's management area.

> **CAUTION**
If the search says the club already uses CaniClub Connect, you cannot register it a second time. Contact its officials so that they give you rights (see [How do I assign roles and rights in my club?](/en/docs/getting-started/roles-and-rights/)).

## Club or company: what is the difference?

It works the same way. Only a few labels change (for example **Company seasons** instead of **Configure sports seasons**) and federations are only offered to clubs. A company can create a season covering several years so that its customers do not have to rejoin every year.

## Opening the management area

On the club's home page (the club tab or **Home** in the menu), the **Manage the club** button in the action bar opens the management area. It is shown to managers and to the people in charge of memberships, events and bookkeeping. Depending on your rights, the area contains:

- the club **Dashboard**;
- **Members**: the member list for each season, **Configure sports seasons** and **Member-related functions**;
- **Accounting**: financial years, categories, customers, tax receipts and providers;
- **Setup**: **General** (club details), **Events**, **Shop**, **Settlement**, **User rights** and **Stop using CaniClub Connect**.

## What are the next steps?

1. [Create a season](/en/docs/members/seasons/) and [its membership form](/en/docs/members/membership-form/).
2. [Invite your members](/en/docs/getting-started/invite-members/).
3. [Share out the roles](/en/docs/getting-started/roles-and-rights/) among the club officials.
4. [Create your first training sessions](/en/docs/events/create-training/).

## Stop using CaniClub Connect

In **Setup**, **Stop using CaniClub Connect** deactivates the club after confirmation (**Delete my club from CaniClub Connect**). You lose access to the services and all your members lose access to the club in the app.
