Team sports - requesting player availability and creating events

The Player Availability Checker helps you easily manage who’s attending your upcoming training sessions, matches, or fixtures.

To get started, head to your Teams section found on the admin dashboard. From here, you can create events and send availability requests to your players. They'll be able to respond with whether they’re attending or not - or, if needed, you can update their availability on their behalf.

Creating an event

Before you can request player availability, you'll first need to set up an event. This could be a fixture, training session, or a general team or squad event.

To create an event, head to your teams section found on the admin dashboard.

1. From your Home tab, click ‘Go to Events’, or select the ‘Events’ tab in the menu.
   If you already have events created, click on the ‘Upcoming Events’ header to view them.
   
   
   
   
2. In the top right corner, select ‘Add Event’ to get started.

You’ll then be able to choose from the following event types (depending on whether you’re in a team or squad):

1. Fixture (team only)

2. Training

3. Event

Once selected, you can fill in the event details, including:

1. Title

2. Start and end date/time

3. Optional notes - such as meeting points, travel instructions, or other useful info

Requesting player availability

To request availability for an event:

1. Head to your Teams section found on the admin dashboard.
   Find the event you’d like to send an availability request for.

2. Click on the three dots (•••) to the right of the event and select ‘View Details’.
   From here, you’ll be able to send availability requests to your players.
   
   

3. Tick the player(s) you'd like to manage availability for.
   
   
4. Click on ‘Availability’ - from here, you can choose to either send a request or mark availability manually on their behalf.

Your players will receive an email with a simple option to confirm their attendance - making it quick and easy for them to respond.
