Junior Members

How junior members work, and how to enable, price and oversee them

Junior members are under-18s who shoot at your club. They're a different class of account to a member: they don't have their own login and "belong" to a parent member's account. A few things to remember:

1. Junior members don't have their own login or password.

2. They can't book or pay for themselves — the parent member does it for them.

3. They aren't issued NRA Safe Shooter cards.

4. Their renewal is tied to the parent member.

5. They can't log their own firearms.

6. Shooting records are collected, but are filled in by the parent member.

Members add and manage their own juniors — see the member guide, Managing Your Juniors. It isn't currently possible for an admin to add a junior on a member's behalf.

Enabling junior members

Enabling Juniors in Club Settings

Go to Club settings → Joining & renewals and you'll see the junior members module at the top. Switch it on and set the price you want to charge per junior.

Set the value to £0.00 to make junior members free.

Fees for junior members are yearly and paid separately from the parent's own membership: once when the junior is added, then again each time the parent's membership renews for a new year. The parent pays from their Juniors page, online through your provider (the link stays open for 30 days) or by hand, and unpaid junior fees wait under Club Admin → Payments → To confirm like any other. Because the fee is its own one-off payment, it works the same whether the parent pays upfront or by a monthly or quarterly plan; juniors are never on a plan themselves.

Active junior members count towards your club's billable member limit, just like full members. If your club is at its plan limit, a member won't be able to add a new junior until you free up a seat or upgrade your tier. (Archived juniors don't count.)

Viewing all juniors

In the admin menu, open People → Junior Members to see every junior registered, just like you can with members.

Controlling which events juniors can book

Event Setup Option

When creating or editing an event, you control whether juniors can attend:

1. Adult — only adult members, no juniors.

2. Mixed — both.

3. Junior — juniors only (we'd advise adults still attend as chaperones; if you want adults to shoot too, choose Mixed).

Charging juniors a different event price

Using price overrides you control who pays what — but there's a junior edge case. Overrides are based on a member's role, and juniors don't have roles, so you can't target juniors directly. Instead:

1. Set the Default Price to the price you want to charge a junior.

2. Use price overrides to set the price for your member roles.

Juniors then get the default price, and members get the appropriate role-based price.

FAQs

Who can create juniors?

Members with the Trainee or Member role.

What happens when the parent member leaves the club?

Any registered junior members are deactivated, but not deleted — preserving any record keeping your club is required to maintain.

Do juniors have a probationary period?

No. At present juniors are the responsibility of the parent member and don't follow the probation/approval workflow that members do.
