Create your teams and groups
Who does this: an Owner, Admin or Manager, after the season exists and before inviting members. Members join teams; the teams have to be there first.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- Select the season in the sidebar.
- Have your list of teams with division, age group, gender and squad size.
- Create groups for real teams only. Every group you create here appears in the team picker on your registration form and gets its own chat in the app. Your committee, coaches and volunteers are handled with roles, not groups.
- Go to Teams / Groups. The Season dropdown at the top shows which season you are adding to.
- Click New Group.
- Enter the Group Name as members will see it, for example
Under 12 Boys. - Enter the Division and Age Group, choose the Gender (Mixed, Male or Female) and set Max Players.
- Click Create Group.
- Repeat for each team.
Open any team card to see its detail page. The tabs you will use most:
- Roster lists the players. Add Players picks from members already in the season, so it stays empty until people have joined. From a player’s ⋮ menu you can set their role on the team (Set as Coach, Set as Manager), mark them as train-on, or remove them.
- Settings holds the same fields as the form plus Min Age and Max Age, which registration uses to flag applicants outside the band.
- Trials and Sponsors are covered under Run your season.
What happens next
Section titled “What happens next”Each team appears in the app for its members, with a team chat created automatically. Next: invite your committee, coaches and managers.
If something goes wrong
Section titled “If something goes wrong”- A team shows a padlock. Its roster is locked. Open the card’s ⋮ menu to unlock it before adding or removing players.
- A “Coaches” or “Committee” group is showing on the registration form. That happens when no group in the season is flagged as a team, so the picker falls back to offering all of them. Check your real teams were created as teams. Renaming or emptying the stray group will not take it off the form; delete it and give those people staff roles instead, as the next guide describes.
- New Group is missing. Creating groups needs the Manager role or above.
