New Season Team Maintenance

New vs Existing Team?

In most cases, we recommend creating a new team for each season, but the decision is ultimately a matter of personal preference! 

Keep your existing team if

• You are staying with the same organization
• You have a small number of changes, such as adding a new player

Create a new team if

• You have changed organizations
• You want to make significant changes to your team name or handle
• You are removing multiple players or coaches
• iScore - iScore users should create new teams if they need to make multiple changes (such as swapping player jersey numbers, adding/removing several players
• If you are using iScore and have mismatched players on screen, start with a clean slate by creating a new team
