How to require a membership or course credential

Let people finish registering only once they hold one of your memberships, or have earned the credential of a course.

Open Dodgeball Hub Updated November 13, 2026

A membership requirement asks each person it applies to for an active membership of your organization. A course credential requirement asks them to have passed a course. Both are checked person by person, and someone who doesn’t qualify yet can join the membership or take the course right from their registration.

Before you start

  • You need to manage the event.
  • For a membership, create it first in your organization’s memberships, on the Players tab. The player memberships of the event’s co-hosting organization are offered too.
  • For a course, publish it first, with its Visibility set to anything but Private. Public courses of other organizations are offered too.

Steps

  1. In your event’s planner, click Registration Settings at the bottom of the sidebar.

  2. Open the Requirements tab.

  3. Open Player requirements, click Add requirement, enter a Title and set the Type to Membership. Under Membership, pick one or more memberships: an active one of any of them is enough.

  4. For a course, add another requirement, set its Type to Course Credential and pick the Required Course. To ask only part of the roster, choose Who completes this, for example Coaches and assistant coaches.

  5. Click Save All Settings Changes.

Registrants meet the requirement as a step of their registration:

  • Membership: the step lists the memberships you picked. Someone without an active one can join one there, then carry on. The membership is checked when they complete the step.
  • Course Credential: someone without the credential takes the course in the step. Once they hold a valid credential, they can carry on.
