How to renew your seasons with the Season Management tool
Planning for a new season often starts before the current one has finished. With Season Management, you can easily prepare everything in advance without affecting your live season setup
Season Management helps you build and organise your next season early, giving you time to review player movements, check registrations, and make sure everything is ready before invitations are sent.
Interactive walkthrough
This interactive walkthrough will guide you through each step of the renewal process, making it easy to set up your next season with confidence.
To get started, click ‘Take a look’ in the window below.
Click the expand icon in the top-left corner of the window to view the walkthrough in full-screen mode.
Important: This feature is only available for clubs using the Team sports feature to manage their squads and teams.
We recommend team sports for clubs managing squads, players, and registrations. If you are not currently using Teams and would like help getting started, or cannot see Teams available in your account, then please contact the support team at help@thrive4.com
How to set up your new season:
- Navigate to Teams > Season management
- Give your season a name, for example ‘26/27 season’
- Select the season start and end date
- Click ‘Player moves’ to proceed
Player moves
This step allows you to choose where your current players will move for the next season in advance
- Select the relevant ‘From’ squad and ‘To’ squad
- You will then see all available teams within each squad
- Choose where each team will move to for the new season
- If you need to make individual player changes, click ‘Reassign players’
- From here, you can decide whether players:
- Move to a different squad
- Stay in the same squad
- Leave the club (become Ex-players)
- Once you are happy with your selections, click ‘Create move’
Repeat the steps above for each of your squads until all player movements have been completed, then click ‘Review changes’.
Review changes
This step allows you to review all player moves before confirming the new season. You can expand each section to review:
- Players moving
- Players staying (in their current team)
- Ex-players (players leaving the club)
Within each section, you can make changes to individual players using the ‘Edit move’ buttons on the right, or in bulk by selecting several players.
Summary and confirm
The final step is to review your renewal summary and schedule your invitations.
You will see a complete breakdown of:
- Your new season dates
- Required forms, consents, and files
- Number of invitations to be sent
- Registration email templates
You can also preview and update the registration email template before invitations are sent.
Once everything looks correct:
- Choose when you would like invitations to be sent
- Click ‘Schedule next season’
Your next season setup will then be ready to go!
