Overview

Grounds are the locations where your matches and practices take place. CrickTeams allows you to choose from a list of pre-approved grounds or create your own custom grounds for your club.

The Manage Grounds page gives you a central place to view, add, search, filter and delete grounds associated with your club.

To access the Manage Grounds page:

  1. Log in to CrickTeams as a Manager
  2. Click Grounds from the left navigation menu

Understanding the Grounds Page

The Manage Grounds page is divided into two sections:

My Grounds

These are custom grounds created by your club. They count toward your plan’s custom ground limit shown at the top of the page. Each ground shows its name, location address and state.

CrickTeams Approved Grounds

These are pre-verified grounds provided by CrickTeams and available to all clubs. They do not count toward your custom ground limit and cannot be deleted.

Custom Ground Limit

Your CrickTeams plan includes a limit on the number of custom grounds you can create. You can see your current usage at the top of the Manage Grounds page.

Adding a Ground via Match or Practice Detail

You can add a new ground directly from a match or practice detail page using the Location field. On the mobile app this is the only way to add a ground — there is no Manage Grounds page on mobile. On the web app this is a convenient shortcut when you are creating a match or practice and the ground does not yet exist in the system.

How to add a ground via manual address from a Match

  1. Go to Matches and open a match detail page — or create a new match
  2. Click on the Location field — the ground picker will open
  3. The ground picker shows your existing grounds and CrickTeams Approved Grounds
  4. If your ground is not listed click + Use Manual Address in the top right of the picker
  5. A form appears — enter the full address of the new ground
  6. Click Save
  7. The ground is now assigned to the match and saved to your grounds list

Frequently Asked Questions

Can players add or manage grounds?

No. Only managers can add, view and delete custom grounds. Players can see which ground a match or practice is assigned to but cannot manage grounds.

Can I edit a custom ground after creating it?

Currently custom grounds cannot be edited after creation. If you need to make a change, delete the ground and create a new one with the correct details.

Can I delete a ground that is already assigned to a match or practice?

Yes. A ground can be deleted even if it is associated with existing matches or practices. The match or practice will retain the ground name for reference, but the ground will no longer be available for new matches or practices.

Why am I getting a duplicate name error?

Each ground name must be unique within your club. Use the search bar on the Manage Grounds page to find the existing ground with that name. You can then use it directly without creating a new one.

Why is the + Custom Ground button not working?

You may have reached your plan’s custom ground limit. Check the usage bar at the top of the Manage Grounds page. Click Upgrade in the top navigation bar to increase your allowance.

What is the difference between My Grounds and CrickTeams Approved Grounds?

My Grounds are custom grounds you created — they count toward your plan limit. CrickTeams Approved Grounds are pre-verified grounds available to all clubs — they do not count toward your limit and cannot be deleted.

What happens to my grounds when I downgrade my plan?

When your club downgrades your grounds are soft locked based on when they were created. Your oldest grounds remain unlocked up to your new plan’s limit and your most recently created grounds become locked. For example: downgrading from Pro to Free (limit 2) with 5 grounds means the 2 oldest stay unlocked and the 3 most recent are locked. Locked grounds show a padlock icon. Upgrade your plan to unlock them again.

What is the difference between adding a ground from the Grounds page vs using Manual Address from a match?

Both create a ground for your club. Adding from the Grounds page creates a fully tracked custom ground under My Grounds. Using Manual Address from a match creates the ground under My Grounds on the Grounds page. Both count toward your custom ground limit.
