Creating a Team

How to set up a team on PlayerAid, configure settings, and prepare it for your roster.

Teams in PlayerAid are the home base for roster management, scheduling, expenses, and team communication. You need a Coach or Business account to create a team.

Creating Your First Team

  1. Tap the Teams tab in the bottom navigation
  2. Tap + Create Team
  3. Fill in the team details:
    • Team Name — the full name of your team or program
    • Sport — select the sport this team competes in
    • Season — enter the current or upcoming season (e.g., "Spring 2026")
    • Team Photo — add a logo or team photo (optional, but helps identify the team)
  4. Tap Create Team

Your team is now live and ready for players.

Team Settings

After creating a team, you can access additional settings from Team → Settings (gear icon):

  • Team Description — add context about your program, division, or competitive level
  • Visibility — control whether the team appears in search results
  • Co-Managers — invite other coaches or parents to help manage the team (see Inviting Co-Managers)
  • Danger Zone — archive or delete the team

Managing Multiple Teams

If you run multiple teams (e.g., a varsity and JV squad, or teams across multiple sports), you can create as many teams as you need from the same account. Switch between teams using the team selector at the top of the Teams tab.

Team Seasons

Teams are organized by season. When a new season starts:

  • Keep the existing team and update the season name, or
  • Create a new team for the new season (recommended if the roster changes significantly)

Player history and stats remain attached to the athlete's individual profile regardless of which team they're on.


After Creating Your Team

Now that your team exists, your next steps are typically:

  1. Invite athletes to join the roster
  2. Schedule your first practice or game
  3. Set up a team expense for dues or registration fees
