Clubs and teams are two separate organizational levels in LIGR Live. Clubs are parent organizations that contain teams, and teams belong to clubs and inherit the club's logo, colors, and venue by default.

​

You can create teams without clubs, but using clubs makes management easier when you have multiple teams under one organization. For example, if you have a sports club with an A team, B team, and youth team, creating them all under one club means they automatically share the same logo, colors, and venue unless you customize individual teams.

​

Clubs are parent organizations. When you create a club, you set the club name, home venue, graphic display names (Full Name, Medium Name, Short Name), club colors (primary, secondary, primary text, secondary text), and the club logo.

​

Teams belong to clubs. When you create a team under a club, the team automatically inherits the club's logo, the club's colors, and the club's default venue.

​

You can override any of these inherited settings at the team level. Changes made in the team's Customize tab override the default inherited club settings.

​

Use clubs when you have multiple teams under one organization. This saves time because all teams inherit the same logo, colors, and venue. You only need to set these details once at the club level.

​

If you update the club's logo or colors later, all teams that haven't been customized will automatically use the updated club settings. Teams with customizations keep their unique settings.

​

You can create teams without assigning them to a club. This works well when each team is independent with its own branding and venue. You'll enter the logo, colors, and venue directly for each team.

​

Teams must be assigned to a competition to appear in match creation. When creating a match, you select a competition first, then choose teams. Only teams assigned to that competition will appear in the home/away team dropdowns.

​

You can change a team's competition assignment even after matches have been created. Teams can be assigned to a new competition during a match, but that change does not affect the match itself in terms of match settings. The match will still show that team under the competition it was assigned to before the team's competition assignment was changed and before the match started. If a new match is created with that team, it will appear under the newly assigned competition.

​

By default, all teams within a club inherit the club's logo, colors, and venue. To customize a specific team, follow these steps.

​

1. Click Assets > Clubs and Teams.

​

2. Select the team you want to customize.

​

3. Click the Customize tab.

​

4. Change the team name, logo, colors, graphic display names, or add a manager or head coach as needed.

​

5. Click Save to apply your changes.

​

Changes made in the Customize tab override the default inherited club settings. If you want changes to apply across all teams within a club, edit the parent club instead.

​

You cannot archive a club that has teams under it. All teams must be archived first before you can archive the club. Archiving a team affects all players on that team.
