You can use something like Club has_many :members, :class_name => 'User', :foreign_key => 'club_membership_id' User belongs_to :club, :foreign_key => 'club_membership_id' However that will only allow a user to be a member of one club, so probably you need a membership joins table so that you can have a club with many members and users in many clubs, each through the memberships table. The rails guide on activeRecord associations will help you.
