To enter the Club Champs event, please follow the process below:

Each volleyball club has its own Sporty login area where teams and players are managed. This can be accessed via the Sporty website. You’ll find the direct link to your club’s Sporty site here.

If you are unsure of your login details to your Sporty site, contact the Sporty support team directly at support@sportsground.com

Once logged in, you can enter your team into the competition. The steps for team entry and player assignment are:

1.  Enter Teams in TeamBuilder — refer to the support article and scroll to the section titled Entering a Team into a Competition

2.  Assign Players and Team Staff — add players and other team members (Coach, Assistant Coach, Manager, Assistant Manager, Trainer, Referee, etc.) to the team in TeamBuilder. These members should already be registered with your club from the Zone competitions. You can simply drag and drop them into the team entered for the club champs event.
