How to Purchase a Junior Membership

Junior Memberships need to be purchased from the parent/guardian's own LTA account, as the main contact of the membership. If you are not registered with Clubspark, you can do this during the membership purchase process. 

This guide is split into 2 sections:

• Purchasing a Junior membership from a Payment Request link sent out by an Admin

• Purchasing a Junior Membership from the Membership/Join webpage

Purchasing a Junior membership from a Payment Request link sent out by an Admin

If you are joining through a payment request link, the member and parent/guardians details have been set up by the Admin already when creating the payment request.

Please note: If these are showing incorrectly please reach out to the Venue admins to get this resolved and a new request sent out.

Step 1: If you have been sent a payment request, check the details are showing correctly and then click the link 'Apply now and activate membership'.

Here is an example of a Payment Request email for a Junior package. In this example the Junior's name is 'Clubspark Jr'.
If this has been set up correctly by the venue admin, the email will be addressed to the Parent/Guardian and the listed member, will show as the Juniors name. 

Step 2: You will be taken to the LTA sign-in/register page.

Login with your existing LTA Account (Parent/Guardian) or register a new LTA Account for yourselves NOT the junior.

If you need to register, you can follow this guide here.

Step 3: You will be taken directly to the payment pages (as shown in Step 4 below or click here). You will be asked what method you wish to pay with for the membership (depending on the venue's choice)

Purchasing a Junior Membership from the Membership/Join webpage

Step 1: If you are new to the venue, then head to your venue's website and on the junior membership package that you wish to purchase and the payment option (if applicable). Then click 'Join now'

Step 2: Login with your existing LTA Account (Parent/Guardian) or register a new LTA Account for yourselves NOT the junior- the information you fill in here must be for you as the parent/guardian not the junior. 

If you need to register, you can follow this guide here.

Step 3: if you are purchasing from your venue's website and once you have registered/signed in, you will be taken to the following screen, the first section of the Purchaser details, will not be editable. You will notice the details are already filled out from the logged in Parent's LTA account details.

Please note: If the Parent/Guardian details are showing incorrectly, you have incorrectly created the LTA account. You would need to reach out to LTA support here to get these amended. Any issues with this please contact Clubspark support.

Step 5: The next section which you need to fill in is the 'Purchaser's contact details' which needs to be completed with the Parent's/Guardian's contact details.

Step 6: Agree to the Terms and Conditions, then click Continue to member details.

Step 7: If you don't see the Junior's name listed under You (Your name). You will need to click 'Add a new member' to add them as a profile under your account.

Step 8: Fill in the Junior members details and make sure to tick the checkbox (in red) 'I confirm I am the Parent or Guardian of this player, or have the permission of the Parent or Guardian to book on behalf of this player.'
