Whats the best CMS for Sports Club?
If you're looking for an easy CMS go with Joomla. If you're looking for heavy customizability go with Drupal.
DRUPAL VS JOOMLA - Key Pros and Cons
Drupal
- Rock solid & high quality platform
- Real multi-site-feature (only one installation for several sites)
- Any Kind of user groups & user permissions, OpenId compliant in Version 6
- Can run membership and community sites, not only CMS etc
- Powerful templating system. Any XHTML or CSS template can be easily converted to Drupal.
- Drupal needs a little time investment to realize all the huge possibilities of Drupal
- Clear, high quality code and API (easy to integrate with other solutions etc)
- Flexibility and no known limitations
- Many high profile sites use Drupal (e.g.: MTV UK, BBC, the Onion, Nasa, Greenpeace UK, New york observer. )
Joomla
- If you are not techy its good to start
- Easy install & setup with your mouse
- Easy learning curve
- Cannot integrate other scripts etc. to your site
- Generally you cannot create high-end sites, without investing huge amount
- No SEO out of the box, URLs are not search engine friendly.
- Server resources utilization is more compared to drupal
- Only one site per installation
- No Single Log-in to several sites
- No User groups & permissions
- More intuitive administration user interface
- Some polished modules for things like calendars, polls, etc.
- Modules cost you money
System Requirements:
- Drupal can work with MySQL and Postgres while Joomla is known to support only MySQL
- Joomla support SSL logins and SSL pages. Drupal not known to support it.

Possible Duplicate:
What Forum Software should I use?I have to renew a website for a sport club. There is some self programmed CMS in use at this time. But I need a new solution. A popular CMS that could be up to date over the next 3 or 4 years.
I took a look at Drupal 7. Not sure about whether it's easy possible to create member profiles (they should be able to edit them self), a board and team overviews. Would be cool you'll share the link of a tutorial for this needs if you have one. Or...
Any suggestions for a good CMS with my needs?
