Club Level System
What you’ll achieve: your club has a clear set of skill levels you can assign to members and use to restrict events.
Prerequisites: a created club. The number of levels you can create depends on your plan: Free 3, Community 5, Club PRO 25.

One training, ten players. Two are holding a ball for the very first time — two have played for years. The beginners are lost, the experienced ones are bored — and nobody really gets better.
With club levels in Volley World, every training is for the players it is meant for.
You create your own levels in the Club Manager: a short name of up to two letters, a name — and a description if you like. Three levels are included for free; bigger plans have more.
Your coaches give every player their level — in the Club Manager or right from the Volley World app. When a player improves, they simply change it. With every change they can leave a private comment for your staff — or a shared note the player reads in the app.
Then you set the level restriction on each training, for example B to C. Players of another level see that it isn't their level — and can join the waiting list. Groups that fit together train better — and every player knows where they stand. Now it's your turn: create your club's levels right here. You can change them any time later.
Club level vs Volley World App Level
Section titled “Club level vs Volley World App Level”These are two different ladders, and it’s worth keeping them apart.
The club level is yours. You invent the rungs (their names, abbreviations and descriptions) and your coaches assign a player to one. It never changes by itself, and it only means something inside your club — a “C2” at your club has nothing to do with a “C2” anywhere else.
The Volley World App Level is global. It’s a number from 1 to 10, held per sport, that starts from the player’s questionnaire and then moves on its own with match and tournament results. Nobody at the club assigns it.
Both are shown on a player’s card, and either can be used to restrict who joins a training or another non-tournament event (tournaments can’t be level-restricted) — but assigning a club level never changes a player’s app level, and results never change their club level.
- Open Settings and tap the Levels tile.
- On Club Levels, fill in each level card:
- Name — up to 40 characters (required).
- Abbr (max 2) — up to two characters, upper case (required). It’s the badge shown on member lists and player cards.
- Description (optional) — up to 500 characters.
- (Optional) tick Show ALL levels on the club home page to display the full ladder to members.
- Add another level with the Level N + row beneath the list (for example Level 4 +). It’s locked with Finish level N first until every level has a name and an abbreviation, and with Level limit reached (x/max) once you hit your plan’s cap.
- To remove a level, tap its ×. This only marks it for removal: the card fades, gets a yellow bar and a Marked for removal label, shows Restore, and a snackbar offers Undo. Nothing is deleted until you save. You must keep at least one level.
- Tap Save. You’ll see Levels & settings saved.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting””Level limit reached” dialog
You’ve hit your plan’s cap (Free 3, Community 5, Club PRO 25). The dialog shows a comparison table and an Upgrade button that takes you to the plans screen.
Save is greyed out: “Abbreviation missing”
Every level needs both a name and an abbreviation. Fill in the missing fields, or mark the unused rows for removal, then save again.
Deleting a level that has members
You can delete a level even if members are assigned to it. When you save, the Apply level deletion sheet tells you how many members are affected. Tap Delete & reset members to go ahead: those members are reset to no level. Members on other levels keep theirs. This can’t be undone, so move members to another level first if you want them to keep one.
