Teams

The Teams page is where you set up the squads your organisation enters into competitions. A team has its own name, colours, badge and player roster, and can be linked to one of your clubs. You'll find it in the admin sidebar under Competitions → Teams.

Who can use this

Club admins and moderators can create and manage teams. Both roles can do everything described here.

The Teams page is part of the Competitions feature. If you don't see it in the sidebar, an admin can switch the Competitions feature on under Features. Everything you do here only ever affects your own organisation.

What's on the page

The main page shows a count of your teams and a New team button (top right). Below that is a searchable, sortable table of every team, grouped by club. Each row shows the team's name and colour, its club, the competitions it's entered in, its status, and its manager. Use the search box and the Club, Status and Visibility filters to narrow the list.

A team is marked Active while it's in a competition whose season hasn't ended, Inactive otherwise, and Archived once you've taken it out of use.

Opening a team shows its own page: a header with the team's badge and quick links, summary tiles (players, team staff, captain, visibility), then Team staff, Team details, Players, and Remove this team sections.

Step by step

Create a team

Add a team asks three short questions. Only the first one is required.

1. Click New team (top right).
2. What's the team called? — the Team name, and the Web address below it, which fills itself in as you type.
3. Who can see the roster? — Anyone, Members only, or Certain people only. The team's own page is always public; this controls the list of players on it.
4. Anything else? (optional) — folded away: a short name for ladders, the club they play for, their colours, a logo and internal notes.
5. Click Create team.

Edit a team

1. Click a team's row, or the pencil (Edit) icon at the end of its row.
2. Open the Team details section and change any fields you need.
3. Click Save team.

Appoint team staff

1. Open a team and expand the Team staff section — it lists everyone appointed for this team (Coach, Team Manager, Captain, Vice Captain, Team Member, and any team-scoped positions you've created).
2. Under Appoint to this team, search for the member by name or email, pick their position, and click Appoint. (Someone who isn't a member yet can be added by email via the "enter an email instead" link.)
3. To remove someone, click Revoke on their row.

Appointments made here are the same as team-scoped appointments on the Roles & positions page — they show in both places, and the person is notified. A Coach or Team Manager appointed here can run the team's training sessions, attendance, and fill in match-day scoresheets for the team.

Add players to the roster

1. Open a team and expand the Players section.
2. Under Add a player, search for the Member by name or email, then optionally add a Shirt # and Playing position, and choose a Team role — it defaults to Team Member; pick Captain to mark the on-field captain.
3. Click Add to squad. To take someone off, click Remove on their row — this also ends their Team Member appointment (other titles stay until revoked in Team staff).

The chosen team role is a real appointment: it shows in Team staff, on the Roles & positions page, and as a badge in the squad list.

Only active members of your organisation appear in the member search. Add people on the Members page first. The squad list is the on-field lineup — for coaching and management titles use Team staff above.

Schedule training and mark attendance

1. Open a team and click Training & attendance (top right) — or, on the public team page, use the same link. The team's manager and anyone appointed Coach or Team Manager of the team can open this page too, without any admin role: coaches don't need admin access.
2. Under Schedule sessions, set the first session's date/time and duration, pick a venue, and choose Repeat weekly for up to 26 weeks. Each week becomes its own session.
3. Roster members see upcoming sessions on the public team page and answer In / Maybe / Out per session — their answers appear on your sheet.
4. After training, open the session and mark each player Present / Late / Absent.
5. The Squad engagement card shows each member's attendance rate and last-attended date, and flags anyone not seen for 28+ days — a useful nudge list before renewals. Attendance also appears on each member's timeline on the Members page.

Cancelled sessions stay visible (marked Cancelled) so the week's plan is honest; delete a session only if it was created by mistake.

Archive or restore a team

1. On the table, click the Archive team icon on the team's row — or open the team and use Remove this team. A confirmation appears first, and a team that is still active can't be archived: if it's entered in a live competition or has upcoming fixtures or training sessions, the blockers are listed and archiving is refused until they're resolved.
2. Filter the Status to Archived (or All) to see it again, then click Restore team.

Tips & FAQ

• A team's competitions are set elsewhere. The Competitions column is filled in when you enter a team into a competition's division — see Competitions. It isn't edited on the team form.
• Sort by club to group your squads. The default sort groups teams under their club; you can also sort by name, recently active, or newest.
• Use Archive, not delete. Archiving keeps the team's history and lets you bring it back later.
• Who can run training? The team's manager, anyone appointed Coach or Team Manager of the team, admins, moderators, and anyone with the competitions permission. Appoint your coach in Team staff so they can self-serve.
