# Teams overview

## The Teams feature lets you organise players via team and squad - helping coaches to keep on top of unpaid subs and access safeguarding information while on the go

 How to create squads:

Before you can create teams, you’ll need to set up squads – teams are grouped under squads.

**Creating squads**

- Navigate to **Product management \> Products**
- Click the 'Add product' button at the top-right of your screen
- Choose ‘Product’ and ‘Squad’
- Give the squad a name, such as ‘Under 11s’
- Add the product to an existing squads product group, if you have one (leave blank if you do not)
- In ‘Details’, ensure the squad status is ‘Public’
- You can then assign the squad settings such as consents and forms, which will be required from the members on sign-up

**Tip:** Add membership fees under ‘Required products’ to ensure subs are collected on sign-up.

 

### How to create teams:

Once you’ve set up your squads, you can start adding individual teams within them.

- Navigate to **Teams \> Player management**
- Select a squad from the left sidebar
- Click ‘Create team’
- Give the team a name and colour
- Click ‘Create’ to finish

 

### Navigating your squads and teams

**Home**

When you click into a squad, you’ll see an overview of key information including coaches, payments due, number of players etc:

- The message contents
- The recipients
- Who has: 
    - Received the message
    - Opened the email
    - Clicked any links
    - Marked the email as spam

**Settings**

From here, you can edit the squad or team name. Additionally, for squads, you can add a cover photo and manage coach permissions, and for teams, you can delete the team and all related information.

If you need to delete a squad:

- Navigate to **Product management \> Products**
- Select the relevant squad from the left sidebar
- Open ‘Details’ and click the bin icon in the top-right corner
