Teams and players
6 questions and answers about “Teams and players” in Football First, the app for football clubs and youth academies.
How do I add a player to a team?
Open Team, pick the team and click Add player. Enter first and last name, and optionally date of birth, position, shirt number and phone (if the player has their own).
A player doesn't need a login to be in the team. You can create one for them or a parent later.
How do I remove a player from a team?
In Team open the player and choose Remove from team. The player leaves the roster, but earlier records (attendance, results) and their login stay. If they move to another team, add them there.
What do players and parents see of the team?
Players and parents see the roster (first name, initial of the last name and shirt number) and the staff. Phone numbers, dates of birth, parents and health status are for the staff only.
How do I create a new team?
On the Club page click New team. Enter a name (e.g. U12 or First team), choose the section Youth academy or Seniors, and the age group.
Every team gets three chats: team, parents and staff. For academy teams the team chat opens once two adults are in the team.
How do I add a coach or manager to a team?
In Team pick the team, open Staff and click Add coach, or go to Users and passwords → Coach / staff. Choose the role (head coach, assistant coach, team manager), enter the name, an email or username and a password.
What they may do is already ticked for that role; change it if you want. Then hand the login details to the person.
How do I remove a coach from a team?
In Team → Staff click the remove icon next to the coach and confirm. Their role in that team ends; their earlier notes and entries stay. A club must always keep at least one admin.
