Easily control access to bookable activities with Clubmate’s Age Restrictions feature, ensuring only members within the correct age range can make bookings.


Why Use This Feature?

  • Prevent Incorrect Bookings – Ensure age-restricted activities are booked only by eligible members.

Use Case Example

An angling club offers a Junior coaching session for 12–16-year-olds.

How It Works:

  1. The session is set to Age Restricted (12–16).

  2. A 14-year-old can book ✅, but a 10-year-old is blocked ❌.

  3. A 17-year-old sees a notification directing them to an adult session.

Ideal for:

Junior Coaching Sessions – Ensure young anglers participate in age-appropriate sessions.

Safety & Progression – Prevent younger/older members from booking unsuitable activities.

This keeps sessions structured and appropriate for all participants.
