Club Registration Process

When clubs register or import gymnasts or coaches:

Required Custom Fields:

• Dropdown Selection: For list of values fields, clubs select from predefined options

Examples of Custom Field Usage:

These custom fields apply identically to both gymnast and coach registration processes, providing consistent data collection across all participant types.
