How can we help?

Setting up point categories

Define what your club chooses to recognise.

Operators

Open Dashboard › Point categories. The screen explains itself: "Coaches award points in these categories."

  1. Tap Add category.
  2. Enter the name in English and in French.
  3. Add a description in both languages if the name alone is ambiguous.
  4. Pick a colour — it is how the category is identified everywhere it appears.
  5. Save.

Suggested categories are offered if you would rather start from a list than a blank screen.

Choosing categories

Name the things you actually want more of. Most clubs land on some version of:

  • Effort — trying hard, regardless of outcome
  • Teamwork — helping others
  • Technique — doing it right
  • Attitude — showing up well, listening, resetting after a mistake
Deactivating one

Remove category? takes it out of the coaches' picker. The confirmation says what happens: "Coaches will no longer be able to award points in this category. Past awards are kept."

Tip: Fewer categories, used constantly, beat more categories used occasionally. Four is plenty.
