Can I Customize the Terminology used for Events and Roles in my Programs?

Customize program terminology to your sport or program. Swap "Training" for "Practice" or "Session" and customize player and staff labels. Changes apply system-wide across schedules, the app, emails, and rosters instantly.

Organizations can set program-specific terminology when creating a program to ensure events and related roles use language that fits their needs. In Programs > Program Info > Program Terminology, Admins can select a non-game event label—Practice, Training, or Session, along with setting preferences for participant and staff terminology.

Newly created seasons within programs will also automatically apply sport-based terminology for players, team staff, and events, based on the selected sport.

The selected terminology will appear consistently system-wide on schedules, calendars, the OTTO SPORT Mobile App, emails, and more, while terminology for players and team staff will also appear in registration management and rosters. These changes only affect display language, not event behavior, permissions, or scheduling logic.

Example of Updated Terminology


Note: Existing Programs will continue to use ‘Training’ as the default non-game event label unless terminology is manually updated.
