Most clubs take attendance because they feel they should, then never look at it again. Taken properly it answers four questions that matter: who was here, who has stopped coming, were we adequately staffed, and can we prove it. Here is how to make it take ten seconds instead of ten minutes.
A clipboard works right up until it does not. It gets left in a car, filled in from memory on the drive home, or passed between two entrances so neither list is complete. And because nobody types it up, the data exists only as paper in a bag — which means it cannot answer a question weeks later, which is exactly when the questions arrive.
The obvious one, and the one that matters at four o’clock when a parent asks whether their child arrived. A timestamped record answers it immediately.
This is the valuable one. An athlete who misses three sessions in a row is usually four weeks away from not renewing, and nobody notices until the renewal does not arrive. Attendance history turns that into something you can see while you can still act.
Retention is cheaper than recruitment, and attendance is the earliest signal you get that you are about to lose somebody.
Ratios matter for camps and for anything involving young children. Knowing how many athletes were actually in a session — not how many were registered — is what makes a ratio real.
Insurers, governing bodies and grant funders all ask for participation data. So, occasionally, does a safeguarding process. A timestamped record of who was present and which adults were with them is the answer to a question nobody wants to be unable to answer.
A hundred children arriving inside fifteen minutes is not a register, it is a queue. Two volunteers with phones scanning at separate entrances, both writing to the same session, will clear it in the time one clipboard takes to get halfway down the list — and you get arrival times rather than ticks.
Attendance per session, taken on a phone, against the current roster, by whoever is running the session. Everything else — patterns, ratios, grant reporting — falls out of that automatically. Without it, none of it is available at any price.
Attendance is taken against the live roster from a phone, with present, absent and late in a few taps. Where you use QR check-in, the scan creates the attendance record with an arrival time, so it is one action rather than two. History builds per athlete and per team and can be exported when a funder or governing body asks.
On a phone at the session, against the current roster, marked present, absent or late in a few taps. Anything that requires typing up afterwards will eventually stop happening.
Above roughly forty people arriving at once, yes. A scan records arrival with a timestamp and moves a queue much faster than reading names, and several staff can scan at different entrances simultaneously.
Long enough to satisfy your insurer, governing body and any funder you report to — which usually means at least a full season and often several years. Keep them digitally; paper does not survive a committee handover.
It is the earliest signal you get. An athlete missing several consecutive sessions is usually weeks away from not renewing, and that is visible in attendance history long before it shows up in your revenue.
Frequently, yes. Funders ask how many people a programme actually served, and attendance taken at the session is defensible in a way that an estimate at year end is not.
