Fixtures allow you to schedule matches and competitions for your teams. Creating a fixture lets you:

• Set the date, time, and venue
• Assign the competing team
• Define the type of competition (e.g. Friendly, League, Cup)
• Select your team sheet (optional)
• Track attendance
• Communicate changes or updates to parents and students

Fixtures sit within a team, so make sure you have already created your Sport and Team before continuing.

5. Team Selection (Optional)

Selecting a team sheet is optional.

Some schools prefer not to make this information public to parents. If you have Team Sheet visibility turned off in Settings, parents will not see this even if you fill it out.

You can:

• Assign your starters
• Assign your substitutes
• Make fixture-specific changes to the lineup

This is useful for internal planning, even if it is not visible to parents.

6. Supporters (Optional)

Supporters are students who will be attending the fixture but are not playing.

Examples:

• Junior students attending a final
• Transition Year students supporting a senior team

Adding supporters allows you to:

• Track who is attending
• Mark them as School Activity
• Sync attendance back to your attendance system
