# How to Activate Your New Club in PC

To activate your new club in Pickleball Clubs (PC), log in to Pickleball.com, open [Club Admin](/article/the-club-menu-in-pc) from Manage → Organizations, accept the Terms and Conditions, enable Show to Public and Show on Search in your club settings, and add any managers who will help run the club.

## Before You Begin

- You must have received a club creation confirmation email from Pickleball.com.
- Log in using the same account you used when you submitted the club creation form.

***

## Log in and access Club Admin

1. Go to [Pickleball.com](https://pickleball.com) and log in.
2. Click your name in the upper right corner.
3. Select **Manage** from the dropdown menu.
4. Click **Organizations**.
5. Your club will appear in the Organizations block. Click it to open Club Admin.

***

## Accept Terms and Conditions

1. In Club Admin, find your club and click the **3-dot menu**.
2. Select **Terms and Conditions**.
3. Read through the terms, check the acceptance box, and click **Accept**. You can review our full [Terms of Use](https://pickleball.com/terms-of-use) on Pickleball.com at any time.

***

## Configure club settings

1. From Club Admin, open your club's settings.
2. Confirm **Show to Public** is enabled so your club appears to players browsing Pickleball.com.
3. Enable **Show on Search** so your club surfaces in search results.
4. Verify your club name, address, and other key details are correct.

> **Note:** Show to Public and Show on Search must both be enabled for your club to be discoverable. If either is off, players browsing or searching for clubs in your area won't see it.

***

## Add managers

If other staff members will help manage the club, add them as managers now.

1. In Club Admin, click **+Add New Manager**.
2. Search by first and last name. The person must have a Pickleball.com account to be added.
3. Confirm you've selected the correct person by checking their email and phone number.
4. Assign their permissions level. Note that only one person can be set as the **Primary Manager**.
5. Save.

Your club is now live and ready to [add members](/72000627452-how-do-i-become-a-member-of-a-club?) and create play!

## Frequently Asked Questions

### My club isn't showing up in search — what should I check?

Go back to Club Admin and check that Show to Public and Show on Search are both enabled in your club settings. Also confirm your address is set correctly — players searching by location won't find your club if the address is missing or incorrect.

### Can I have more than one Primary Manager?

No. There can only be one Primary Manager per club. All other managers can be assigned different permission levels based on what they need to access.

### I can't find the manager I want to add — why?

The person must have an existing Pickleball.com account before you can add them. Ask them to create a free account at Pickleball.com first, then search for them in Club Admin.
