How myCroquet's modularity keeps things simple

A new system can mean more to learn. The design of myCroquet is intended to solve that problem. myCroquet is not one giant program. It is a small permanent core and a series of separate modules. A module is a separate part of myCroquet that is switched on only for the people who need it.

The core is what every signed in member always has: the login, their own personal details and the honours board. Everything else is a separate module.

A general member, a club secretary and a coaching administrator all use the same myCroquet, but each one sees a different set of screens.

Membership

Club secretaries used a simple form to add, edit and deactivate their own club's members, instead of working inside RevSport. To deactivate a member means to mark them as no longer a member. A secretary could not see or touch the records of any other club. In August 2026, a person who was not a secretary did not see the Membership menu item at all.

Editing your own contact details always works for everyone. That editing lives in the core, not in the module.

Coaching and refereeing

Every member could see their own accreditation cards on their profile without asking.

The register was a separate module. In the register, a user can search, award, renew or revoke an accreditation. In August 2026, only the handful of people named by CAQ to run coaching or refereeing could open it.

The register was first built and tested on a staging copy. A staging copy is a practice copy of myCroquet that members do not use. The register was not yet live for real use.

Update: the coaching and refereeing module went live on 16 September 2026.

Come & Try

A person managing Come & Try for their club saw only their own club's bookings and times. That person could not reach the statewide Command Centre. The Command Centre showed every club's bookings and how the system was running.

A real test with a club member account showed only My Details and Come & Try.

In August 2026, 12 clubs ran their own Come & Try, with 26 people holding the access.

Other modules

Access to a module is given through a process called gifting. In August 2026, gifting worked this way. Each time, one person ran one command to add one tag to a member's existing account. A tag is a label on a member's account.

There is no separate admin account and no second login to remember. A secretary, a coaching administrator and an ordinary member all sign in the same way. What a person sees after signing in depends on the tags on their account.

Two tags could not be gifted in August 2026. Full admin access was given by changing a person's role. Every member already has the member tag, so it is never gifted.

As of 13 August 2026, 35 modules were registered. Six things were switched on for general use. These were the core, plus five modules: Approvals, Club Profile, Come & Try, Come & Try Control and Membership. The other 29 modules existed but were not turned on for anyone. Some were shown to the committee and then deliberately switched off while the next piece was finished. A module that is switched off is a planned decision, not a failure.

Update, October 2026: a current committee position at a club now also opens Club Profile and the Events Calendar, as well as a gifted card. More modules have been switched on since, including the Events Calendar. For how newcomers book, see how Come & Try works.

Later, in October 2026, the coaching register was switched off on live myCroquet, and Come & Try access was taken back from every club that held it.

This approach lets myCroquet grow without becoming more complicated. New modules can be added without adding clutter to the screens of people who do not use them.
