GET STARTED
If you haven’t already, set up your club’s Instagram account by downloading the Instagram app from the App Store (iPhone/iPad) or Google Play Store (Android). When setting up your account, be sure to include a club bio. It will be the first thing your prospective followers will see and it will be visible every time your profile is visited.
