Getting Started: Clubs

Your Squad belongs to a Club and this is where you tell us about it.

If someone else in your Club has already given us its details, you should not create it again. Simply type in the first few characters of your Club name when prompted for Club Name and, if your Club name appears in the drop down list, select it. This will ensure that each squad is linked to the one club. There is no limit as to the number of squads that can be created for one club.

If your Club name does not appear in the drop down list, you need to set it up and all other Squads within your Club can then link with it.

When setting up your Club, enter its name and as many details as you care to - none are mandatory though you may find the following useful:

Home Venue and Postcode will act as the default for each of your Squads and will save you and your co-managers having to reenter them when setting up your Squads.

Similarly for Logo, Sponsor's Logo and Club Colours.

FA Affiliation Number is usually necessary when enrolling into competitions and this is a good place to store it as a reference for when you or any of your co-managers need it.

You can define up to three colours. If you play in Claret & Blue, you may want to set the first to Claret, the second to Blue and leave the third blank or you may want to use each of the three colours to show the main colour of shirt, shorts and socks respectively - it's up to you.

To modify the colours just click on the appropriate box and a colour 'Swatch' will appear. The current selected colour appears in the rightmost bar. If you click on the square swatch you will see the Selector Handle move to where you have clicked and the rightmost bar change colour. Similarly with the handle on the Bar Swatch. Or you can drag either handle until the rightmost bar is the colour you want. If you understand hexadecimal RGB colour coordinates, you can enter your required code in the panel at the top of the selector.

Some useful standard colour codes are as follows:
