Using the Team Calendar

The team calendar contains all the information you need to keep up with team practices and game schedules. To access your team's calendar, click on the calendar icon at the top of the group display.

League Games

If your school participates in a Doodlio League, games will automatically appear on your team's schedule when published by the league. The team calendar is also updated automatically when

• The scheduled date, time, or location is changed.
• The game is cancelled or forfeited.

RSVP/Attendance 

Team practices and events displayed on the team calendar display an RSVP prompt for each player in your family. Simply click Yes or No to indicate whether the player will attend. You can come back at any time and change your response. However, coaches have the ability to prevent changes to responses after an event has started. Coaches also have the ability to turn off the RSVP/Attendance feature. In that case you will not see the RSVP prompt.

Add a Practice to the Team Calendar

NOTES:

• Typically, only coaches have permission to add or change team events. 
• The features available to you, described below, may vary based on settings chosen by your community administrator.

Click the Add New Event button in the upper right of the screen to add a practice or other team event.

A new window will appear with input fields that allow you to setup your event. 

• Enter a title for the event (required).
• Enter the date of the practice, start time, and end time.
• Scroll down and either select or deselect the notifications option. Leave it selected to send an automatic notification to everyone on the team that a new practice has been added to the team calendar.
• To add a single practice to your team's calendar, click the Add Event button
• If all of your practices start and end at the same time of day, you can use the repeat options drop down to add additional instances. See Add Repeat Instances below.
• If your practice start and end times vary on different days, follow the steps in Add More Dates below.

Add Repeat Instances

Often practice will be held on the same day(s) and times each week. In that case, you can use the repeat event drop down to add additional instances of the practice while setting up your practice.

For example, if your practices are held every Tuesday at 5pm, you would set the initial date and time following the steps above and then additional instances:

• Click the "Does not repeat" drop down list
• Select "Weekly on Tuesday" (for this example)
• Options will appear that allow you to define how many practices to add. Either set the number of total practices that will be held this season, or select the date of the last practice.
• Click Add Event to add the practices to your team's calendar.

Other repeat options available on the drop down list are:

• Repeats daily - For events that repeat on consecutive days. You have the ability to select which days of the week the event will repeat on.
• Repeats weekly on multiple days. For example, if you hold practice every Tuesday and Thursday at 5pm both days, you can select this option and then click on the day of week selections for Tuesday and Thursday.
• Additional options in the dropdown (monthly, annually) would not typically be useful when setting up a practice schedule

Add Additional Dates

If your practice start times vary week to week or on different days of the week, you can use the Add More Dates for this Event option. 

• Enter the date and time of your first practice following the steps above (Add a Practice to the Team Calendar).
• Click on the Add More Dates for this Event button. A calendar widget will appear.
• Click on each date that you will hold practice. The dates you select will be highlighted. Do not select the date of the first practice. If you make a mistake, you can click the date again to deselect it.
• Once you have selected all practice dates, click away from the calendar widget to close it. A list of dates and times will appear for each date that you selected with a label "Added Date".
• You can change the date, start time, or end time on any of the Added Dates. 
• Click the Add Event button to add the practices to your team's calendar.
