I think it is great, he can save time, get the students into navigation first, having fun, and those who decide to look further into it will learn about clubs, maps, e-punches, etc. I guess the only part that is missing is how do they found out about the clubs, and that would be with coupons to events, possibly coupons that include them and a guest/parent, etc.
