MyBMABA Full Review

Shared by Joe • January 22, 2025

Hi there,

The BETA launch of our new built-in portal has been hugely successful, and we hope you're enjoying the additional functionality that is now available without any secondary logins.

As 2024 wraps up, we're going to be spending some time when the site is a little less busy doing a full review of content, design and functionality.

We recognise MyBMABA can be a bit overwhelming for some instructors, so with the new technology now available to us we'll be stripping back menus, removing unnecessary duplications, making everything more user friendly and ensuring all content is working and up to date.

If you spot any errors or bugs along the way, please do let us know 👍

It's Official - A New Club Management Tool Is Coming to MyBMABA

Shared by Joe • January 22, 2025

After launching our own Club Management Platform in 2023, we've been overwhelmed with the positive response from our community.

Unfortunately for some, that software runs on Wordpress, and that meant for various reasons it wasn't the right fit. It also provided a full solution - with parent and student accounts, payment and so on. For a decent number of clubs, it was just too much functionality.

We've now locked into a 10 week development window the release of a brand new tool for MyBMABA, which will effectively produce ClubManager by BMABA 'Lite' (name still in progress!).

This will take all the best parts of our Management Platform, and make them available for clubs without any need to tie in payments or parental/student interaction.

Grade tracking, attendance, detailed student records and management, finance modules, tasks, safeguarding reports and so much more - it's going to be fully available to clubs via MyBMABA, doesn't require any setup and can be used manually from your end, without needing parents or students to sign up and take any action from their side.

We're hoping this will hugely improve club management and admin for many of our members. Remember, if you use open allocation student licences, you can leave the allocation blank in favour of the new system.

We'll share updates and screenshots as the development makes progress, but we hope to have it launched before mid-April, so please keep an eye on our news centre here for more updates.

Digital Risk Assessments Now Live!

Shared by Joe • January 05, 2025

We've just launched new Digital Risk Assessments for all members. This is yet another 'first of its kind' tool that will allow clubs to easily produce, update and print-out (or save digitally) up to date risk assessments for their clubs and venues.

We've pre-populated the system to generate a template risk assessment with over 22 typical example risks, with all other fields populated. All you'll need to do is delete irrelevant risks, add in anything specific, update the comments (actions) and check the severity.

We're hoping this tool will help clubs become more compliant with Health & Safety (and insurance) requirements, without a huge administrative burden.

Take a look and try it for yourself. It's under the Dashboard, and can be reached directly here.

Our All-New MyBMABA Portal Is Now Live

Shared by Giovanni • December 06, 2024

Hi there,

After an intense build period, our very own in-house designed and executed MyBMABA portal has officially replaced the prior Zoho Portal in BETA.


This is a huge deal. It signifies a huge leap forward in our technical abilities to give our members hands-on access to the latest technology, and better control over automation.

The new portal has been completely built from the ground up to focus on making it rapid-fast for clubs to take control of registrations and renewals, as well as the generation of certification and documents.

Instructors, assistants, volunteers, open students, named students, temporary students, club records, account verification and our LSGR have been re-imagined. Clubs can now access the portal without any further logins, and also via the MyBMABA App. Any renewals or registrations are instant, and documentation can be generated any point on demand too.

No more waiting days for us to manually adjust records or generate documents, and no more issues accessing records by phones, or on smaller screens.

We hope the initial release is welcome by clubs, and we look forward to your feedback. This is still in BETA, which means we expect to find a few wrinkles and creases, and we invite that feedback from everyone in the community.

We have a tonne of exciting new functionality we can now unleash too, so keep your eyes on MyBMABA as we head into December!
