Editing Your Team Details

Overview

You can update your team's core details at any time — name, age group, format, squad makeup, and league association. These settings affect how Squadd displays your team and how the lineup builder and match defaults work.

Only Team Admins can edit team details.

How to Edit Team Details

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Tap Edit team details
  3. Update any fields
  4. Tap Save

Editable Fields

Field What it does
Team name Displayed throughout the app and in invite messages
Age group Display only (e.g. "U9", "U11") — updated automatically when you start a new season
Format The format new fixtures and match days start in, and the pitch slot counts and available formations (3v3, 5v5, 6v6, 7v7, 9v9, 11v11). 3v3 has no goalkeeper slot
Squad makeup Boys / Girls / Mixed — informational, used for appropriate display in some contexts
League association FA / FAW / SFA / IFA (Northern Ireland) / FAI (Republic of Ireland) / Other. Suggests a new game's match length until you've added one in your format, and drives COMET nudges (FAW teams only)
Season starts on The first day of the season you're in now. It decides which games the Season figures on the Stats tab count. Squadd assumes 1 September unless you set your own date

Changing Format Mid-Season

If your team is promoted or moves to a different format part-way through a season (e.g. 7v7 to 9v9):

  1. Update the format in Edit team details
  2. Pick a new Default formation for the new format. Until you do, lineups start in the new format's first shape (e.g. 3-3-2 for 9v9)
  3. Existing fixtures keep their own format. Only games created after the change start in the new one

Moving up a format with a new age group? Start new season can change the format in the same step, and clears a default formation from the old format for you. See Starting a New Season.

Setting Your Season Start

By default, Squadd treats a season as running from 1 September to 31 August, which fits most of the UK. If your season runs differently, set Season starts on to its first day and the Season figures on the Stats tab will count from there instead.

This matters most for summer seasons. A team playing April to September sees only its September games under Season until it sets a start date, because everything before 1 September falls into the previous season. Setting the date fixes it straight away.

Things worth knowing:

  • Nothing is deleted. Changing the date only changes which games the Season figures include. Every fixture, report and stat stays exactly where it is
  • You can set a date from before you joined Squadd, which is what you want if you signed up mid-season and added your earlier games
  • The season runs from that date onwards with no end, so later games keep counting until you start a new season
  • A season starting in January to May is named after its own year ("2027 season"), because that is how calendar-year leagues name it. One starting June onwards spans two ("2026/27 season")
  • Only Team Admins can change it

To end the season you're in and archive its stats, use Settings → Start new season instead. That keeps a snapshot of the season that ended and sets the next one going.

A few things that shape how your team works live outside this screen:

  • Team Sides — if your club runs more than one match-day side under a single coaching group (e.g. Stars / Moons / Sun), enable Team Sides under Settings → Team modules → Customise features. Each player is given a default side there, and you can move players between sides per match day with the Squad Split tool. All sides share one chat, one training schedule and one Pro subscription. See Team Sides.
  • Your league: Settings → League Info holds the name of the league you play in. Start typing and Squadd suggests leagues other teams have already named, so pick yours if it's listed: that keeps every team in the same league together under one name. You can add your division after it (for example "Gwent League - Division 2"). The league name also shows as a label on the Stats screen. You can set it when you create a team, too.
  • Match-day timings — match days and fixtures can carry a coach-registration time and a players-arrive time in addition to kick-off, so everyone knows when to turn up. These are set on the match day / fixture itself, not in team details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can coaches (non-admins) edit team details?
No — the screen shows a locked message for non-admin roles.

Will changing the team name update existing invite links?
The invite link itself remains valid, but the team name in the WhatsApp message template will reflect the new name the next time you generate an invite.

Does changing the format affect historical fixture stats?
No — past fixtures keep their original format. Only new fixtures will use the updated format default.
