SKA England SPOND App joining code

What is Spond? Spond is a free app that we now use for:


  • Student & parent registration
  • Booking and paying for classes, gradings, courses, squad training, and seminars
  • Notifications about club events and competitions. 
  • Communication between instructors and members
  • Squad and club group organisation

DOWNLOAD SPOND

Getting Started with spond

Step 1: Register with SKA England

Email kentkarate@gmail.com to complete the SKA England registration form.

- If you're registering a child, make sure to choose “I’m signing up a child” - Avoid using auto-fill – it may replace your child's name with your own 
- Add a second guardian if you'd like another parent to receive updates - Please do not enter your child’s contact details – only the parent/guardian’s
- Want to register more than one child? Just fill in the form again for each child using the same parent email address.

For Instructors & Coaches

Please fill in the form again for yourself and select “I want to become a member” so we can assign you the appropriate permissions (e.g., Instructor or Admin).

Step 2: Wait for Approval


SKA England will approve your registration manually. This may take up to a week during quiet periods, but we aim to approve daily during busy times.


You’ll receive a confirmation email once approved.


If you haven’t received confirmation after a reasonable time, please email us at:
kentkarate@gmail.com 

Step 3: Create Your Spond Account


After registering, download the Spond app and create an account using the same email you used in Step 1.


Ignore the prompt for a “Group Code” – you don’t need one.

We will add students and instructors to the appropriate groups on our end.

Step 4: Booking & Payments


Once your registration is approved, you will be able to:


  • Book and pay for upcoming gradings, courses, squad training, and national seminars
  • Select correct groups based on belt level, age, or squad membership
  • Receive receipts and booking confirmations by email


All payments are processed securely through the app using Spond's integrated system via Stripe.

Step 5: Group Access & Event Info


Once payment is complete:


  • Your child will be added to the appropriate training group (e.g., Junior Kumite Squad, Dan Grading Candidates)
  • You’ll be able to see all upcoming events related to your group inside the Spond app
  • You’ll receive reminders and updates about squad selections, events, and grading requirements. 

Other Notes

  • Photos: Please upload a photo of your child – it helps instructors and squad leaders with identification.
  • No Group Code Needed: We will handle group assignments internally to ensure only registered and paid members are added.
  • Still Using WhatsApp? Yes – key messages will also be posted on WhatsApp for continuity, but Spond will become the main admin platform.
  • Discounts or Instalments: If you’ve been offered a discount or need instalments, please contact us before booking.

FAQs


I’m getting a payment error. → This usually happens if you've skipped Step 3. Please make sure you have a Spond account before trying to book.

Do I need to download the app to receive updates? → No, but we highly recommend it. If you don’t use the app, you will receive event updates via email instead.

Can I opt out of using Spond? → We strongly encourage everyone to use Spond to help reduce admin work and streamline communication. If you have concerns, please get in touch.

If you have any other questions, feel free to contact the SKA England  team directly.


Thank you!  Sensei Chris and Sensei Katie
