A sports club works better when fees are not left inside a standalone spreadsheet. In Belgium, an ASBL has its own legal personality, must keep a member register, and must follow accounting obligations depending on its size. A central tool connects those legal realities to daily operations.
The Justice Department notes that an ASBL has its own legal personality and must keep a member register. When parents, children, coaches and members change, the information must remain consistent. Fees then belong to the member record, not to a stray file.
A good practice is to keep the class registration, the fee to be paid and the actually received payment as distinct statuses. You then know what is reserved, pending or paid. It also becomes much easier to automate reminders and confirmations by email.
