NOTE: The steps below are for Sport Management organizations.
Getting Started With Your Season Setup
This guide will help walk a first-time user through the creation of a League or Club. You can walk through the whole article or click the links below to go straight to a specific section:
At the bottom of this page, please click on Next Step to get started.
Starting your season first begins by understanding how your Divisions and Teams need to be structured while using either "League" or "Club pages".
Click on either League Tool or Club Pages to continue.
League Tool- The League tool is useful for organizations that have teams that compete against one another. Leagues also keep track of overall stats, standings, and schedules.
NOTE: You will be able to turn off League standings at any time if not needed.
Club Pages - Clubs are any non-League organizations that have more than one team. Teams in a Club play against other organizations' teams and therefore do NOT calculate or use standings.
How to Access Tool Settings
You must have "Full Access" or "Limited Access - Website" permissions to access tool settings.
After you create a League or Club page, the settings for that season can be adjusted based on the organization's specific needs.
Sign in and enable Edit Mode.
Go to your League Page or Club Page.
In the middle of the page, click on the yellow Admin dropdown arrow.
Choose Tool Settings.

Under Edit Mode, click Pages.
Select Sub Pages or Main Menu, depending on where you would like to add the page.
Main Menu is the horizontal list of page links listed at the top of your site in the main navigation.

Seasons vs Subseasons
NOTE: Creating a season/subseason occurs when you create a League or Club page. During the creation process, there will be a field for Season Name and Subseason Name.
Seasons and Subseasons allow you to organize and keep track of your League/Club data year-over-year.
Differences
Season: Usually the year of the season you are starting. For example: “2019-2020 Season”.
Subseason: Allows you to have multiple compartments within a season, such as “pre-season”, “regular season”, and “post-season”, but share the same roster.
NOTE: After your first season, you will be able to copy your season for next year.
Creating Divisions
NOTE: Divisions are not mandatory.
"Divisions" help group teams by age, gender, and skill level within a League or Club. The way to add divisions to your organization is by creating Division pages.
Go to your League or Club page and turn on Edit Mode.
Under Edit Mode, click Pages.
Select Sub Pages.
Sub Pages appear in the dropdown menu under a page listed in the Main Menu.
Click Add New Page.
Choose Division Page from the list of options.
Input a name for the division, and update the pages settings.
Click Create This Page Element.
Creating Teams
NOTE: In order to create Team pages, you must have a League or a Club page created first.
The best way to add teams to your organization is by creating a "Team page" for each team. Team pages can be hidden from the public or used to display the team roster, game schedule, stats, and more.
League or Club Page > Division Page > Team Page
Go to your League or Club page and turn on Edit Mode.
Click on your Division page if you have them created.
Under Edit Mode, click Pages.
Select Sub Pages.
Sub Pages appear in the dropdown menu under a page listed in the Main Menu.
Click Add New Page.
Choose Team Page from the list of options.
Either choose Select an existing team or Create a new team.
If you haven't already added your teams to your league in Sports Management or if you haven't had teams on the site before, you will need to choose Create a new team.
If you've already created teams in the past, it's recommended you select a team instead so that you don't create duplicates.
Fill out all necessary and mandatory fields for the team, and click Create This Team.
Include Team in Standings (Leagues Only): This option allows you to exclude teams from standings on a team by team basis. If you check No, all games played against this team will not count towards standings.
Rostering Your Players/Staff
You must be rostered as a "Coach" or a Team Manager", have Owner access on a Team Page, or have "Full Access" or "Limited Access - Website" permissions in order to roster.
