For the whole club
A paddler trains with the sport crew on Tuesday and the community crew on Thursday. Their practices appear together. Coaches can filter to their crew, or view the whole club to see what else is scheduled.

Need another paddler? Club admins can open unfilled practice seats to other club members 24, 48 or 72 hours beforehand. Each crew keeps its own roster and lineups. Club scheduling is included on every plan.

Built by Katie Vargo, a Pittsburgh Paddlefish paddler, to make crew signups easier. Read Katie’s story
“It’s more efficient to sign-up, and I’m not battling website ads.”
Sam I.
Paddler
“I love the reminders that I have signed up and the second reminder in case I forgot that I was signed up and can’t make it. Also having the wait list right on the signup page is great.”
Judy L.
Paddler
“The ability to add my name to the waitlist and then automatically get a bench (and being notified by text) if one opens up. This feature is so valuable because it frees up the coaches from constantly monitoring the signup.”
Marie H.
Paddler
“Dragon SignUp has streamlined what used to be an involved process. There are so many advantages, my favorites include: the ability to sign up for multiple days at once, the clarity in paddle side preference, and the elimination of accidental double sign ups.”

Keep attendance, waitlists and seat assignments together, from weekly practice to race day.
See practices and races across your club in one calendar. Filter to a crew or view the whole club, while keeping each crew’s roster and sign-ups together.
Post practices with the capacity you choose. Paddlers sign up for the dates they can make, so you can plan from one attendance list instead of counting replies in the crew chat.
When a confirmed paddler cancels, the next eligible person on the waitlist is promoted and notified. Paddlers can also opt in to waitlist texts. Check the current roster before heading to the dock.
Build a lineup seat by seat or review a suggested draft using recorded weights, side preferences and role eligibility. Adjust the assignments, then share the lineup with your crew.
Invite your crew, add an event and check the responses.
Type in your paddlers, or share an invite link and let them add themselves. Set roles for managers and steerspeople.
Post practices and races with the capacity you choose. Paddlers claim a place or join the waitlist when an event is full.
Reminders and waitlist promotions help keep responses current. Review attendance and any lineup changes before the crew loads.

Yes. Every plan includes a club calendar. Paddlers can view their own teams or the whole club, and filter to one crew. Each crew keeps its own roster, sign-ups and lineups. Seeing another crew’s practice does not automatically give someone a seat: club admins can open empty seats to other club paddlers 24, 48 or 72 hours before practice.
No. A person on two or more crews within the same club counts once toward the club’s member limit. Admins are also counted once across the club. Choose your plan by the total number of members and admins, with every product feature included.
No. Paddlers join and claim seats for free. We bill the crew manager or club admin.
Yes, for Android. Search for DragonSignUp in your app store and sign in with the account you already have. You can also keep using it in any web browser.
When a practice or race fills up, later sign-ups join the waitlist. As soon as someone cancels, the paddler at the top of that list takes the seat and gets an email about it, plus a text if they have turned those on.
Only when a seat opens for them on a waitlist, and only if they turn it on themselves in their profile. We don't text about anything else: no reminders, no marketing. Reply STOP to any message, or turn them off in the profile. Message and data rates may apply.
No. There are no ads on any plan, free included, and we don't sell or share your roster with advertisers. Paid plans fund the product.
Neither one knows what a boat is. TeamSnap is built for forty sports and has no seats or sides. A sign-up sheet fills slots in click order and leaves the lineup to you. We compare features and price with each, and point out where the other tool still wins. Read the TeamSnap comparison or the SignUpGenius comparison.
Headroom. Boat seating, team events, waitlists, reminders, and unlimited practices and races all work on the free plan, but you're capped at 30 members and 2 admins. You upgrade when your roster outgrows the plan.
It suggests one, balanced left to right and by weight, with a warning when someone is sitting on their off side or hasn't said they're coming. You can accept it, edit it, or ignore it. A lineup only saves when a coach saves it.
Yes. Team events use sign-up slots instead of a single seat count, which suits pot-luck dishes, regatta volunteer shifts, and season-planning meetings. Paddlers claim the slot they can cover.
Yes. Move between plans from your billing settings whenever you like. Pro is yearly or monthly, your choice; Club and Club Plus are yearly. Moving up charges the difference for the rest of your term; moving down credits it against your next invoice.
Stripe handles all billing, so we never see or store your card number. Pro is a subscription, billed once a year or once a month. Club and Club Plus bill once a year. You can change or cancel any of them whenever you like. A club that pays by cheque or bank transfer can ask us for an invoice instead.
Create your club and plan your next practice. The free plan covers up to 30 members, with no credit card required.
