This screen allows the creation and management of Entity Teams i.e. Teams within the current organisation/Representative teams, and the allocation of these teams to one or more grades in one or more seasons.
There are different types of teams and squads :
Within a given competition/grade, the above team types may be mixed. For example, a grade can contain both child organisation teams and Teams within the current organisation. Comparison Table

Squads are a collection of players that are defined as the basis for selecting teams for a given match. For example, a particular team may only ever select a team from a group of 20 players out of the club's player list. By defining a squad with those 20 players, by default the team selection page will filter the player list to just those 20. Squads - Child organisation type teams These can be edited by the managing organisation via the 'Team Settings' tab of Grade Maintenance, or at the child organisation level via the 'Grade Configuration' screen. Squads are defined for a given season and grade only, and need to be setup separately for new grades or seasons. Squads - Entity teams These can be edited by the managing organisation via the Team Settings tab of Grade Maintenance, or via the Entity Teams screen. These types of squads persit across seasons and grades (if the team is entered across multiple seasons or grades) and don't need to be set up every time. |
Child organisation type teams are not managed on this screen. Please use the Allocate teams to Grade page to add child organisation type teams to a grade. |
The team name must be unique within the organisation.
If two teams actually operate under the same name, they still need to be created here with different names, however when allocated to a grade (via the Allocate Teams screen), names can be changed as required. |
Enter the team name.
