Get started with your club's member portal

For members, parents and guardians. Join your club, check in to class, pay, and look after your children, all from your phone.

Your club runs on IpponBoard. Once you've joined, the member portal is where you check in, see your plan, pay, sign waivers and register for events, for yourself and for your children. It works on any phone or computer; there's nothing to install. Pick what you need:

A. Join your club

You join with your club's online registration form: one form for you, your children, or the whole family. Here's a parent registering his son on a phone:

A parent registers his son: who's joining, the details, the plan step (skipped), the waiver, done.
1

Open your club's registration form

Your club gives you the link (on its website, by email, or on a QR poster at the dojo). On the club's sign-in page it's New member? Register here. At the top, choose who you're registering: Register Myself (an adult), Register Dependant (a child; you're their guardian) or Register Myself & Family (you train too, and you're adding your children).

The registration form on a phone: Join Riverside Judo Club, then Who are you registering? with Register Myself (an adult member, 18+) and Register Dependant (a child or dependant, under 18), and Register Myself & Family (registering yourself and your dependants)
Who are you registering? Pick one; you can go back with ← Change registration type.
2

Fill in your details

Your name, email and phone, then each child's name and date of birth, any medical information, and an emergency contact (tick Use guardian as emergency contact to use yours). Add Another Dependant adds a brother or sister, and Add a second parent or guardian links the other parent. Tap Continue.

3

Choose a plan, or skip it

If your club offers plans on the form, pick one, or tap Skip for now to sort it out later in the portal. (Some clubs also ask for your insurance or national registration here.)

Set up your login from the email

You'll see Registration Submitted!. Most clubs check new registrations first; once yours is approved you get an email with a link to Set Up Your Account. Choose Set Up Passkey (Face ID, Touch ID or Windows Hello) or Set a Password. There's no password on the form itself.

6

Sign in and look at your dashboard

Sign in on your club's page (Sign in to …) and you land on your Dashboard. Anything the club still needs from you (a waiver, a plan, your insurance) is listed under Action needed, each with Fix →.

B. Every week: check in, your plan, paying

At the dojo you check in by scanning the QR code for your class. It takes a few seconds:

Sarah opens her dashboard, scans the Junior Judo QR code, ticks her son Lucas under her name and taps Check In (1).

The check-in page: Welcome back, Sarah!, Sarah Nguyen (You), Lucas Nguyen (Child) ticked, Mia Nguyen (Child) with No Waiver and No Plan, then Select All and Check In (1)
Your children are listed under you: just tick them. Mia's No Waiver badge means her waiver needs signing first.

Share them with the other parent

Add a Guardian on My Dependants adds another parent or guardian to a child (they get a login invite). Or, in My Account → Co-Guardians, Invite your partner to share all your children.

5

Give an older child their own login

In My Account, open the child under My Dependants, then Settings → Create Login for …, with their email and a password.

On a computer

The portal looks the same on a computer, with the menu down the left instead of behind ☰.

What you see depends on your club

Clubs choose what they use. If you don't see the shop, insurance or tournaments in your menu, your club hasn't turned them on, and some menu items carry your club's own name (for example "Registration" instead of "Insurance").
