# How do I restrict a program by level, gender, or membership?

> Use the level, gender, and membership toggles on the Requirements step.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * These toggles live on the **Requirements** step. **Level Restriction** is available on plans that include **Training** (with levels configured), and **Membership Requirement** on plans that include **Memberships** — if you don't see one, ask your Uplifter contact.
  * Athletes qualify by holding **any one** of the selected levels or memberships, not all of them.
  * Every restriction is re-checked on the server at checkout, not just in the browser, so ineligible athletes can't buy in.
</Note>

On the **Requirements** step, turn on the checks you want to enforce:

**Level Restriction.** Switch it on and select one or more levels. An athlete qualifies if they hold any of the selected levels. If your club doesn't use levels yet, the toggle won't appear.

**Gender Restriction.** Switch it on and choose the genders that can register — useful for girls-only or boys-only programs.

**Membership Requirement.** Switch it on and select one or more membership groups. The picker lists only your published groups — a group still in **Draft** won't appear until you **Publish** it. An athlete qualifies if they have an active membership in any selected group. If no groups are available, you'll see a prompt to create one first.

Level and membership options appear as selectable cards, while the gender options show as small toggle pills; leaving a restriction off means it doesn't apply. Pass gating is a separate control — see the pass requirement article below.
