If you haven’t done this yet, check out our guide here to get started. ### How to set up an event Before you can request player availability, you’ll need to set up an event. This could be a fixture, training session, or a general team/squad event. You can schedule training and events for either for a squad or team, just make sure you’ve selected the right one before starting. **Note:** Fixtures can only be created for teams, not squads. - Navigate to **Teams** **\> Squad management** and pick a team or squad from the left sidebar - Click into the ‘Events’ tab - Click ‘Add event’ in the left sidebar and choose what type of event - Enter the start and end date/time - Choose whether or not the event will be repeated - Optionally, add a venue or add a note - Choose whether to notify the players of the new event - Click ‘Create’ to finish ![](https://help.thrive4.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-29-2026-04-18-23-2659-PM.png?width=670&height=365&name=image-png-Jun-29-2026-04-18-23-2659-PM.png) **Tip:** If you don’t want to notify players right away, you can always edit the event later and resend the notification when you’re ready. How to request player availability for an event: - In the ‘Home’ tab of each team and squad you can view all upcoming events - Click the three dots on any event - From here you can also edit or cancel the event, or send an SMS/email to the players - Click ‘View details’ - Select the players whose availability you wish to request - Click ‘Availability’ then ‘Request availability’ - Click ‘Send’ to email the request ![](https://help.thrive4.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-29-2026-04-20-31-1606-PM.png?width=670&height=386&name=image-png-Jun-29-2026-04-20-31-1606-PM.png) From the event availability interface, you can also mark availability on the players’ behalf, send communications to individual players, or request a [one-off payment](https://help.thrive4.com/how-can-i-request-an-ad-hoc-payment?hsLang=en). **Note:** Availability requests are currently sent via email only, but you can follow up with an SMS. - [FAQs](https://help.thrive4.com/faqs?hsLang=en) - [Member guides](https://help.thrive4.com/member-guides?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Account details](https://help.thrive4.com/member-guides?hsLang=en#account-details) - [Payments](https://help.thrive4.com/member-guides?hsLang=en#payments) - [Troubleshooting](https://help.thrive4.com/member-guides?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [Dashboard](https://help.thrive4.com/dashboard?hsLang=en) - [Growth tools](https://help.thrive4.com/growth-tools?hsLang=en) - [Contact management](https://help.thrive4.com/contact-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Contacts](https://help.thrive4.com/contact-management?hsLang=en#contacts) - [Groups and Roles](https://help.thrive4.com/contact-management?hsLang=en#groups-and-roles) - [Gymnastics insurance](https://help.thrive4.com/contact-management?hsLang=en#gymnastics-insurance) - [Timetable](https://help.thrive4.com/timetable?hsLang=en) - [Teams](https://help.thrive4.com/teams?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Squad management](https://help.thrive4.com/teams?hsLang=en#squad-management) - [Season management](https://help.thrive4.com/teams?hsLang=en#season-management) - [Player management](https://help.thrive4.com/teams?hsLang=en#player-management) - [Sales admin](https://help.thrive4.com/sales-admin?hsLang=en#main-content) - [FAQs](https://help.thrive4.com/sales-admin?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Orders](https://help.thrive4.com/sales-admin?hsLang=en#orders) - [Invoices](https://help.thrive4.com/sales-admin?hsLang=en#invoices) - [Payments](https://help.thrive4.com/sales-admin?hsLang=en#payments) - [Reporting](https://help.thrive4.com/reporting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Financial](https://help.thrive4.com/reporting?hsLang=en#financial) - [Operational](https://help.thrive4.com/reporting?hsLang=en#operational) - [Communication](https://help.thrive4.com/reporting?hsLang=en#communication) - [Product management](https://help.thrive4.com/product-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Adding a new product](https://help.thrive4.com/product-management?hsLang=en#adding-a-new-product) - [Billing](https://help.thrive4.com/product-management?hsLang=en#billing) - [Product settings](https://help.thrive4.com/product-management?hsLang=en#product-settings) - [Schedules](https://help.thrive4.com/product-management?hsLang=en#schedules) - [Discounts](https://help.thrive4.com/product-management?hsLang=en#discounts) - [Communication](https://help.thrive4.com/communication?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Email](https://help.thrive4.com/communication?hsLang=en#email) - [SMS](https://help.thrive4.com/communication?hsLang=en#sms) - [Notifications](https://help.thrive4.com/communication?hsLang=en#notifications) - [Organisation setup](https://help.thrive4.com/organisation-setup?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Financial](https://help.thrive4.com/organisation-setup?hsLang=en#financial) - [Data collection](https://help.thrive4.com/organisation-setup?hsLang=en#data-collection) - [Development programme](https://help.thrive4.com/organisation-setup?hsLang=en#development-programme) - [Your shop](https://help.thrive4.com/your-shop?hsLang=en) - [Troubleshooting](https://help.thrive4.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Products](https://help.thrive4.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#products) - [Payments](https://help.thrive4.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#payments) - [Submit a ticket](https://help.thrive4.com/submit-a-ticket?hsLang=en) - [Video Guides](https://help.thrive4.com/video-guides?hsLang=en) [![Thrive4-new\_black\_logo\_RGB](https://help.thrive4.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Thrive4-new_black_logo_RGB.png?width=184&height=74&name=Thrive4-new_black_logo_RGB.png "Thrive4-new_black_logo_RGB")](https://www.thrive4.com) Copyright © 2025, Pay Here Limited trading as Thrive4
