A team is a birth-year group. You create it once and it stays with you year after year, each season you simply enter it into a competition. You never have to make it again.
How age works:you pick the year the players were born. The U-number next to it is worked out automatically and moves up on its own every year, a 2020 team is U7 today and U8 next season, with nothing for you to change.
Visible to opponents, referees and parents. If you run more than one team in the same birth year, give them names that tell them apart, for example "Falcons Blue" and "Falcons White".
