As part of your association subscription, you can create custom teams based on skill and age levels and assign coaches to them. To avoid confusion, ensure that each team has a unique identifier.

3. Managing Age Levels.
Age levels are structured similarly to skill levels. Common examples in youth sports include U7, U8, and U9 (for "Under 7 Age", "Under 8 Age", etc.).
Add: Create new age levels by entering, for example, "U7" and either pressing the Shift button or clicking the Add Age Level button.
Delete: To remove an age level, click the trash icon.
Reorder: Click and drag the pancake icon to adjust the order of age levels.
Creating Unique Teams
To avoid confusion, especially in sports like hockey where skill levels often have multiple teams (e.g., AAA, AA, A), it’s essential to assign unique team names. For example, if you have multiple "AAA U7" teams, consider naming them "AAA Gold," "AAA Green," or "AAA Blue" to distinguish them.
