How to create a team

Creating a team can be completed in a matter of minutes using Doodlio's Manage Teams feature.

Notes:

• You must have the appropriate privileges to create and manage teams. This feature is generally only available to Athletic Directors
• This feature is not available in the mobile app. 

1. Click the Sports Management link on the main dashboard (or in the left menu).

2. Click on the Manage Teams link that appears on the dashboard.

3. Click on the "Select a Sport" drop down at the top of the screen and select the appropriate sport. If the sport you are looking for does not exist, contact your league administrator to request the addition of the sport to your league.

4. Click the "Add a Team" button in the upper right corner of the window. This will cause a new window to appear.

5. Complete the information for your team and click "Add Team" button to add your new team.

A description of the input fields is given below.

Input fields

Team Name - is displayed as the team's link in the left menu of the app. The Team Name you enter should make it easy for parents to quickly identify the team in the menu - keeping in mind that parents may have children on multiple teams. The Team Name is not displayed on the schedule (see Nickname below for more information).

Example: 8th Boys Basketball D1 White

Team Nickname - is an optional field used to distinguish your teams when you have multiple teams from your school in the same division. When your team is displayed on the league schedule, the system automatically displays your school's name and will append the Team Nickname as a suffix to the school name. 

Example: If your school name is St. Patrick and you enter a Team Nickname of "Green", the team will appear as "St. Patrick - Green" on the schedule.

Division - select the division that your team will compete in.

Description - is an optional description of the team.
