Edit group settings

Change one group's name, badge, sport, age bands, join settings and visibility — or inherit them from the group above.

Group settings control one group's identity and behaviour — its name, badge, colour, sport, age and gender bands, who can join it, and what its members can see. Settings you leave alone are inherited from the group above.

Open a group's settings

Two ways in, depending on where you are:

  • From the structureManagement > Organization, then the three dots on the group's row and Edit.

  • From inside the group — open it and go to Group settings > General.

Only admins can change group settings.

What you can change

Settings > General holds several sections. Each field has its own Change or Edit control and saves on its own, so there is no single save button for the page.

  • Core settingsName, Sport, Gender, a Birth year range, Country, and Season start. Also Group badge and Group brand color, and the Player dialogue template used for performance reviews.

  • The join settings — the group's code and invite link, whether People can join this group at all, and Allow player signup. See Managing group invites.

  • Visibility settingsShow team page ("Shows the team page for players and parents.") and Show data to players. These decide what members see, so they are worth a deliberate choice rather than a default.

  • CarpoolingAllow carpooling, which lets groups offer car seats and request rides.

  • Appearance settingsUpload your badge and a Color.

Inherit from the parent group

A subgroup can take its settings from the group above instead of carrying its own. Click Use parent team settings, then confirm which properties to inherit — you are asked to confirm because it overwrites what the group has now.

This is the mechanism that makes a club-wide change stick: set the sport, colours and badge once at the top, and let the teams inherit rather than repeating them. A group that has been given its own value keeps it until you inherit again.

The badge caveat

A badge set on a subgroup only changes how that group looks in the organization structure. Its members still see the badge from the top level of the organization, so a team badge is an admin convenience rather than something the squad sees.

Changes that ask twice

Setting a birth year range or a group gender asks you to confirm before saving. Both affect who the group is for and how age-based reporting reads it, so the confirmation is there on purpose — read what it says rather than clicking through.

Troubleshooting

  • No Group settings item. You are not an admin of that group. Being an admin higher up the tree does cover the groups beneath it — check you are looking at the right group.

  • A change did not stick. Each field saves independently; make sure you confirmed the one you edited rather than moving straight on.

  • The subgroup keeps reverting. It is inheriting from its parent. Set the value on the subgroup itself, or change the parent so every child follows.

  • The group's badge is not showing to players. Expected — see the badge caveat above.
