Team and Group Settings
In Team Settings or Group Settings, you can customize various features and preferences for your team or group. This allows you to create a more personalized and efficient experience for all members.
These settings are particularly important for sports teams as they help ensure compliance with safeguarding policies and team-specific communication guidelines.
Chat Settings
One of the key features you can adjust in your team or group settings is the chat settings. This allows you to control how members can communicate with each other within the team or group.
For sports teams, this includes managing communication between coaches, players, and families to ensure appropriate and effective interactions.
There are two options for chat settings:
Allow Members to Chat with Admins
This is particularly useful in sports teams to ensure that coaches can maintain professional boundaries while still being accessible for team-related matters.
Unless selected, members will NOT be allowed to start chats with team admins.
This default setting helps maintain a safe communication environment, especially in youth sports teams.
Allow Members to Chat with Each Other
This setting is particularly relevant for sports teams to prevent inappropriate or unnecessary communication between players and families.
Unless selected, members will not be allowed to start chats with other team/group members.
This default configuration supports a controlled communication environment, aligning with team policies and safeguarding requirements.
Post Settings
In addition to chat settings, you also have control over post settings within your team or group. This allows you to manage the content that is shared within the team or group.
For sports teams, this often includes requiring admin approval for posts to ensure that shared content aligns with team values and policies.
There are two options for post settings:
Require Approval of Non-Admin Posts
All non-admin posts will need approval before appearing in the team's feed.
Only Admins Can Post
Only admins and photographers can post in the team/group feed
Customizing Your Team/Group
Aside from chat and post settings, you also have the ability to customize your team or group in other ways.
Members can be categorized into roles such as Coaches, Players, and Family, allowing for tailored communication and permissions.
You can edit the About section to provide a brief description of your team or group. This can include information about the purpose of the team/group, rules, or any other important details (Web only).
You can also change your team/group name at any time. This can be helpful if your team/group undergoes a name change or if you simply want to update it.
