Set up your council, season, and divisions

Your council, season, and divisions are the frame everything else hangs on. Registrations land in a division, teams get built inside a division, and schedules run per season.

During the beta, setup is done with you

For the beta, we load your setup during onboarding so you don't start from a blank screen. That includes your council, the current season, your age divisions, roster-size targets, practice nights, and fields. We build it from your existing SportsEngine setup or your current spreadsheets.

Once it's loaded, here's how to work with it.

Pick the active season

The season switcher sits at the top of the left sidebar. Use it to choose the season you're working on. Every screen (Dashboard, Registrations, Roster Builder, Practice, Games, Season Settings) reflects the season selected here.

Find your divisions

Divisions show up as a picker on Registrations, Roster Builder, and Games, and at the top of Season Settings. Switching divisions changes which players, teams, and games you're looking at. A division carries its own age range, roster target, and balancing rules.

Set balancing rules per division

Open Season Settings and pick a division to set how teams get balanced there: how evenly to spread girls, how tightly to balance skill, whether to honor teammate and coach requests, and how strict to be about practice-night availability. Each division can differ. See "Set a balance policy per division" for the details.

Changing the setup mid-season

The v1 beta doesn't have a self-serve season or division builder. If you need to add a division, adjust roster targets, or change your fields and practice nights, get in touch and we'll update it for you.
