Allocation of Players and Non-Players to a Team (via Team Management) - Single Team


First, log into your club's Play Football Admin account using the link below.

Once logging in, click on "TEAMS" and then "Team Management".



Ensure the season is set to your club's current season. Click on the members icon on the far right side to open up Squad Maintenace. 



Apply any required filters to isolate your desired registrant group (see table for more information), once you have set your filters click "Filter".


Filter NameFilters by:

Registration PeriodRegistration Period where registrations have been made
SchoolThe school identified by the registrant's 'parent' in the registration process
Teams FilterThe Season year, Team Group and Team Name where that registrant may of been allocated to previously

 eg. if I'm allocating an U7s team and want to keep last season's U6s team together I will filter to find that particular U6 team



You should now see registrants under the 'Available Players' section, you can apply further filtering by name as required. To add players to the 'Squad List' you simply click the '+' button next to the player's name, alternatively, players can be removed from allocation by selecting the 'x' in Remove column in the 'Squad List'

When a player has already been allocated to a team for the same Football Type + Season, the Available Players section will show an green tick against the player's name. A player not yet allocated will show as an orange x. 

When a player is allocated in the Squad List section and is not Active, the system shows this by highlighting their name in red and putting an orange x against their name. A green tick denotes that the player is Active. 


Once you are satisfied with your squad, click on "Save" at the bottom of the page.



To allocate Non-Players to the squad, click on the box next to 'Non-Player Roles' and choose your non-players for the squad, again, once you are satisfied with the list, then click "Save".
