Summary
We’re excited to announce a new feature that gives Organization Admins more control over membership eligibility. Admins can now set age restrictions on Membership Types, allowing them to enforce minimum age requirements such as “16 and over” or “21 and over.”.
How can this help my Organization?
This update ensures that organizations can manage their memberships more effectively, aligning with legal requirements, safety concerns, and community standards. Whether it’s a youth sports league, an adult-only club, or an age-restricted professional group, this feature provides added flexibility for membership management.
How to set this up
You can add an Age Restriction by going to the Members tab, then clicking Membership Types. Select the Membership Type you’d like to add an Age Restriction for, then click on 'Add Age Restriction'. After that, you'll be able to set an Age Minimum.
Important Note
To set up the Age Restriction, ensure that the 'Date of Birth' standard field is toggled on and set to Required. This field is necessary to determine the restriction and ensure accurate enforcement.

Stay Tuned for More Updates
At this time, the restrictions only allow for minimum age requirements, ensuring that members meet a specified age threshold before joining. However, we’re actively working on expanding this functionality to include maximum age limits in the near future. This upcoming enhancement will provide even greater customization options for organizations that need to define both lower and upper age boundaries.
