British Gymnastics, one of the UK’s largest sports governing bodies, has chosen JustGo as its membership and competition management solution. With over 1,400 clubs and a thriving community of 400,000 members, British Gymnastics leads the charge in promoting, managing, and growing gymnastics across the nation.
As its Official Software Partner, JustGo is perfectly designed to meet the diverse needs of this dynamic organization. From athletes and coaches to teachers and technical committees, our solution supports every tier of the gymnastics community, including Home Nations and Regions.
Embarking on a project of this scale brings about plenty of challenges, milestones, and rewarding moments. To dive deeper, we caught up with Rob, Head of IT at British Gymnastics, to uncover the behind-the-scenes of their vendor selection process, the journey to implementing JustGo, and how it’s helping them seamlessly manage their ever-expanding community.
The Challenge
British Gymnastics set out on an ambitious mission: to revolutionize their digital ecosystem with a cutting-edge, scalable membership solution. They needed a system that could seamlessly support everyone across their vast community, from grassroots clubs to Olympic-level athletes. The stakes were high, and the task ahead was monumental – finding the perfect solution to unify, grow and empower their diverse membership base. It was a challenge brimming with potential and anticipation, and JustGo was all set to exceed expectations!
Selecting Vendors
Gymnastics is commonly joked as 7 sports in a trench coat – a perfect reflection of its diverse disciplines, from artistic and rhythmic to tumbling and trampoline. For British Gymnastics, managing a community of this scale required more than just software; they needed a partner with the expertise to handle the unique and complex administrative needs of each discipline.
A Six-Month Implementation
From the first introduction with JustGo, it was clear this was about building a partnership rooted in understanding and innovation. What followed was the beginning of an exciting and prosperous collaboration, set to redefine how British Gymnastics manages its vibrant and ever-growing community.
Seamlessly Syncing All Systems
Every software implementation comes with its fair share of technical hurdles – integrating legacy data, connecting disjointed systems, and ensuring a seamless data flow across countless moving parts. This project was no exception. British Gymnastics brought a host of systems to the table, including their own learning management system (BG Academy), safeguarding checks (DBS system), and more.
The goal was to unify these systems and deliver a smoother-than-ever member experience. From logging in to accessing everything they need, members now enjoy a streamlined journey – no more juggling with multiple logins or complex setups.
To Better Member Experiences
At its core, every membership organization aims to inspire engagement and fuel participation – and British Gymnastics is no exception. With add-ons like Digital Membership Cards and continuous feature enhancements, JustGo ensures that all members enjoy a seamless, enriching membership journey. We’re all about making things smooth, simple, and enjoyable for everyone involved!
