A season is the period during which your members belong to the club. To create one, open **Manage the club** > **Configure sports seasons**, tap **Add a season**, set the **Start** and **End** dates, then tap **Save**. Each season then contains one or more membership forms.

## Why seasons?

Members join a season by filling in a form. When the season ends, they have to join the next one. A company can create a multi-year season so that its customers do not have to rejoin every year.

As long as no season exists, the management area shows: "Members must join a season by completing a membership form."

## Create a season

1. From the club's home page, tap **Manage the club**.
2. In the **Members** section, open **Configure sports seasons** (**Company seasons** for a company).
3. Tap **Add a season** in the action bar.
4. Choose the **Start** date and the **End** date.
5. Leave **Memberships are open** switched on so that members can join.
6. Tap **Save**.

The season appears in the **Seasons** tab, marked **Memberships open** or **Closed memberships**.

## Add a membership form to the season

1. On the season card, tap **Add a form**.
2. Choose one of the options offered:
   - **Copy a form**: reuses an existing form, from a previous season for example;
   - **New form from model**: starts from a template form (email, last name, first name, date of birth, phone, address and a "club membership" paying option);
   - **New form**: starts from an empty form.
3. Set up the form and save it (see [How do I set up the membership form?](/en/docs/members/membership-form/)).

On the season card, each form is marked **Active** or **Inactive**. The edit icon opens the editor and **Open** shows the form as your members will see it.

## Edit, open or close a season

Tap the edit icon at the top of the season card to change its dates or the **Memberships are open** option, then tap **Save**.

Members only see seasons whose memberships are open, and only active forms. Closing memberships stops new requests without affecting members already registered.

## Prepare the next season

1. Add the new season with its dates.
2. Add a form with **Copy a form** to reuse last year's, then adjust the amounts.
3. Tap **Invite** on the new season's card to notify the members who are not yet registered for it (see [How do I invite my members to join the club?](/en/docs/getting-started/invite-members/)).
4. Close memberships on the old season if you no longer want requests for it.

Members who have not renewed keep their access to the club: they appear in the **Not up to date** tab of the season's member list.

## Who can manage seasons?

**Configure sports seasons** is only shown to the club's managers. Membership managers open each season's member list from the **Members** section of the management area.
