Create a Team(s) for non-football athletes and middle school athletes

There are many different ways that a program can set up their teams in order to keep track of your campers. Below is a list of a few suggestions of how you could possibly do it.

  1. Create a Team for Football Players for your younger grades, 8th, and 7th. You can put them in positions or just add them to your depth chart using any/all.
  2. Create a Team for Other Sports: Create a non-football athletes Team that you can use to set up your program. On the depth chart, you can make their position by sport. For example, make a column title Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball. Then you make the selected possible players to only those sports.

 

Once this is all done, you will be able to easily take attendance, check numbers, and stay easily organized. If you have any questions please Contact Us or Visit our Website.
