Ishøj Badminton Klub, a local association for players of all levels, has implemented the Holdsport platform to manage its members, teams, and activities, aiming to streamline administration and enhance communication, according to a report from Holdsport. The club, located in the coastal town of Ishø j southwest of Copenhagen with good transport links and local sports facilities, offers training for children, youth, and adults, recreational play for those who play for fun, and competitive teams for those looking to elevate their level.
Joining the club's activities
The social community is central to the club’s identity, with ongoing club events, internal tournaments, and communal meals after training. According to the club’s information, Ishøj Badminton Klub counts more than 100 members spread across approximately 10 teams. Membership grants access to training, team participation, discounts on club events, and the opportunity to join the club’s social activities. The club welcomes new members regardless of skill level and offers open training sessions for those interested, with information on registration and trial sessions available through the club’s contact channels.
However, additional reporting from web-forening.dk provides a different figure for membership, stating the club has around 60 members. This source also details the club’s three recreational teams, which participate in the DGI’s team tournaments. These include a mixed team with two women and four men, and two men’s teams with four members each, playing only doubles. The web-forening.dk report highlights that recreational players use an “open time” system, where they show up when it suits them and play with whoever is present, transcending level, age, and gender. The club also features members from many different nationalities, with communication sometimes taking place in English.
Booking a weekly court time
The club’s training program includes fixed Tuesday and Thursday evening sessions, junior teams focused on technique and development, and senior and recreational teams. Beyond regular training, the teams participate in local and regional tournaments throughout the year. The club also organizes training camps, social events, and introductory courses for new players to ensure everyone has the opportunity to find their place, the main source explains.
The web-forening.dk report adds that it is possible to book a fixed court for one hour per week, typically on Mondays or Tuesdays. This option is generally reserved for beginners or for groups of two or four players who wish to play regularly together.
Holdsport’s Role in Club Management
To ensure smooth operations and good communication, the club uses Holdsport to manage teams, members, and activities. The system is used for planning, payments, and attendance registration, making it easier for the board, coaches, and members to keep track of the calendar, training venues, and fees. Holdsport’s modules include member administration, a payment module, team communication, attendance registration, and a club website, the source states.
“We are very happy with Holdsport – it makes administration simple, improves communication to our members, and frees up time for what matters most: badminton and community,” the club said in a statement.
