Squad Management
Q: How do I, as a club admin, allocate players and non-playing members to teams/squads?
Once your club has created their teams, you need to add players and non-playing members into the squad via the Squad Management page (admin portal). You can only allocate registered players into teams.

- Members > Squad Management
- Note, when you click on the Teams page (Entities > Teams) it will default to show 'Club Teams' only. You can choose to show only 'Rugby Event Teams' or both.
- The number of players/non-players added into each squad will appear and all columns are sortable by clicking the headings.
- Click on team name
- Select ‘Players’ tab
- All players will appear on the left-hand side. Filters include:
- Name, Age, Gender, Min/Max Weight and/or Year.
- If a player's weight has been verified, a green tick will display.
- "Unallocated" tick box, when this is selected, only members who have not been selected into any squad in your club will appear.
