Getting Around the App
One sidebar at /me for daily use, /{slug}/membership for per-club details, /{slug}/admin for committee work
Getting Around the App
Badminton Clubhouse splits navigation into three clearly separated surfaces. Once you know where each one lives, you'll never have to hunt for a feature.
The three surfaces
| Surface | What it's for | Who sees it |
|---------|---------------|-------------|
| */me/ | Daily use, your inbox, calendar, announcements, news, payments, stats, across every club you belong to | All members |
| /{slug}/membership | Your relationship to a single club, status, role, fee snapshot, leave this club | All members |
| /{slug}/admin/ | Committee tools, applications, members, communications, settings | Admins only |
Daily reading and acting on club content happens at /me/. Committing to a single club (changing your role, leaving, viewing your fee) happens at /{slug}/membership. Running the club happens at /{slug}/admin/.
The /me sidebar, progressive reveal
A single, consistent sidebar lives across every /me/ page. Sections appear progressively, each group is only shown when the underlying data exists for you. A brand-new account starts minimal and grows as you add a player profile, join clubs, set up juniors, or take on admin roles.
Each role area (Player, Guardian, Services, Admin) has a Dashboard as the top item in its sidebar section. The home page (/me) "Go to X dashboard" buttons land on these Dashboards. Detail pages for each area sit beneath the Dashboard in the same section.
- Primary (unlabelled top group): Action Centre · Play · Calendar · Clubs, always visible.
- Account: Profile · Notifications · My data, always visible.
- Player _(shown once you complete your play profile):_ Dashboard (
/me/player) · Profile · Calendar · Games · Career stats · Activity · Payments.
/me home page.
- My clubs _(shown when you're a Player and a member of at least one club):_ Clubs · Teams · Announcements · Resources · Members.
- Juniors / Guardian _(shown when you have at least one junior dependent):_ Dashboard (
/me/guardian) at the top, then Juniors (/me/juniors) and related detail pages. - Services _(shown when you offer any service):_ Dashboard (
/me/services) is always at the top, then the management hub (/me/services/manage), followed by a dedicated link (in alphabetical order) for each service you offer that has its own settings page. Coaching appears only once you add Coaching as one of your services (a referee or stringer, for example, sees the Dashboard but not Coaching). The link stays even if you pause that service. - Safeguarding _(shown when you have DBS, training, or incident records):_ My safeguarding records.
- Programmes _(shown when you've been invited to or joined a national programme):_ My programmes.
- Surveys _(shown when you've received or answered a survey):_ Surveys.
- Admin _(shown when you administer an association, county, or club):_ Dashboard (
/me/admin) · My associations · My counties.
Notifications open from the bell in the header. The avatar dropdown in the top-right is a permanent shortcut to your always-relevant personal pages, My profile, Settings, and Admin roles (if you administer anywhere). Role-specific pages live in their own sidebar sections instead: Juniors under the Guardian group, Payments under the Player group, so they appear only once you hold that role.
If your account is brand new, the /me home leads with your identity hero and role chips. Use the + Player, + Guardian, or + Service provider chips to turn on the roles that fit you, and you'll get a module card and quick actions for each. You can turn a role off again later from the same chips (unless it's locked on by a membership, a junior, or a live service).
The header club filter chip
In the header of every /me/ page is a small club filter chip. By default it reads "All clubs": every list shows content from every club you belong to.
- Tap the chip → pick a single club → every
/me/list narrows to just that club's content. - Tap again → switch to a different club, or back to "All clubs" to broaden.
- The choice persists as you move between
/me/pages.
The chip is the single point of "show me only this club" filtering, and it works the same way across every /me/ list.
Per-club detail pages
When you tap into an announcement / event / team / member from /me/, you go to the per-club detail page (/{slug}/announcements/[id], /{slug}/teams/[id], etc.). These pages render inside the same player shell with a small club-themed header strip so you know which club the item belongs to. Back button returns you to the list.
Notifications
Your inbox lives at /me/notifications: every notification from every club lands there. Filter by category or click straight through to the source. See Notifications Inbox.
On Mobile
A bottom tab bar with the most-used /me/ sections plus a More button for the rest. The same club filter chip sits in the header at the top of the screen.
On Desktop
A fixed sidebar on the left holds the full player nav. At the bottom of the sidebar you'll see quick links into each of your clubs, useful for jumping to a club's public home or its /{slug}/membership page.
For Committee Members
If you have admin permissions on a club, you'll see an extra entry-point into that club's admin shell at /{slug}/admin/. The admin shell uses its own admin sidebar (Applications, Members, Communications, Settings, etc.) and is completely separate from the player area.
You can switch back to your player area at any time by going to /me. Your member-side daily use still happens there, the admin shell is only for committee work.
If You Belong to More Than One Club
One Badminton Clubhouse account holds memberships across any number of clubs. By default /me/ shows content from all of them; use the club filter chip to narrow to one at a time. See Being in More Than One Club.
