Claim an open time

  1. 1

    Open the League tab, then Practices

    Practices lives under your league season, not under your team.
    The League tab showing the season name and two cards, Public Pages and Practices.
    Practices — the card is subtitled "Practices and practice claims".
  2. 2

    Check what's been released

    The screen is titled Practice Slots. Your league manager publishes the times that appear here — if it is empty, none have been released for that week yet.
  3. 3

    Narrow down to the times you want

    Use Prev and Next to move between weeks, then pick a day. Filter by Divisions, Fields / Resources and Status. Status starts on Open, which is what you want — Full means another team already took it.

    Times are grouped by field, and the number beside each day is how many are available that day.
  4. 4

    Tap the time you want

    Tapping a time opens it for claiming. Only times marked open can be claimed.
  5. 5

    Check the team, then claim

    Your team is already selected if you coach one team in the season; pick from Team if you coach more than one. Add a note for the league manager if you need to, then tap Claim.
    The note is optional and goes to your league manager. It also carries across onto the practice itself, so it's a reasonable place to put something like which cage you need.

    Claim is the last step — nothing is booked until you tap it.

What happens when you claim

The practice appears on your team straight away, with the date, time, length and field already filled in from the time you picked. You don't create it yourself, and you don't need to tell anyone — it's on your team's calendar and in the team's schedule feed the moment you claim.

The time then shows as Full to every other coach, so nobody can double-book the field.

Cancel a practice you claimed

Cancelling gives the time back to the league so another team can take it, and removes the practice from your team's calendar. There are two ways in.

From Practice Slots, open My Claims, find the practice and tap Cancel. This is the reliable one.

From your team's events, open the practice, tap Cancel event, and turn on Cancel resource reservation before confirming. Leave that switch off and the practice disappears from your calendar while the field stays booked in your team's name — so nobody else can take it, and it still counts against your week.

Done properly, either way puts the time back to Open and frees up your week's limit.

Questions

Common questions

Why don't I see any practice times?
Your league manager publishes them, so an empty list usually means none have been released for that week yet. Check another week with Prev and Next before assuming something is broken, and make sure Status is set to Open.
Someone took the time I wanted
Times are first come, first served, and a claimed time flips to Full immediately. If a team cancels, it goes back to Open and anyone can take it — so it's worth checking again closer to the day.
It says booking limit reached
Your team has already claimed as many practices as your division allows for that week. Cancel one you no longer need, claim in a different week, or ask your league manager whether the limit can change.
Do I need to add the practice to my team myself?
No. Claiming creates it. If you add one manually as well you'll end up with two practices at the same time.
Can I claim for a team I don't coach?
No. You can only claim for teams you coach in that season, and My Claims only shows those teams. League admins and schedulers can claim on behalf of any team.
There's no Cancel button on my claim
Cancel disappears once the practice's start time has passed. If it's still in the future and you can't see Cancel, check that the claim is still active rather than already cancelled.
