Groups

This guide explains how to use groups in RugbyCodex.

Groups help you organize members into the sets that actually matter for coaching and communication.

Why groups are useful

Not every teaching workflow is aimed at the whole team.

Groups make it easier to work with:

• a unit
• a squad
• a rehab or return-to-play group
• an academy or pathway cohort
• any other meaningful set of members

Creating groups

When you create a group, keep the purpose simple and clear.

Good group structures usually reflect real coaching needs, such as:

• forwards
• backs
• leadership group
• starters
• academy players

The best groups are easy to understand at a glance.

Adding players and members

After the group exists, add the members who actually belong in that teaching context.

That is where groups become useful:

• you can keep communication more focused
• you can organize who should receive the right material
• you can build cleaner teaching flows instead of sending everything to everyone

Good habits for groups

• keep the group purpose specific
• avoid making too many overlapping groups too early
• use names that match how your staff already talks about the team
• review groups as the squad changes

Where groups fit in the bigger workflow

Groups are especially helpful when you want to move from general review into more directed sharing.

They sit naturally alongside:

• playlists for curated teaching
• Hear Coach for easier player consumption
• assignments for more detailed feedback loops
