How do I create Sections Options?

Updated Since 5/19/2025

In this article, you'll learn how to create Section Options—customizable choices that organizations can add to individual sections within a program. Section Options can be used in various ways, such as offering different team levels (e.g., Varsity and JV) or applying discounts for specific sections during registration.

Section Options also include additional settings, such as automatically applying an option, requiring eligibility, or limiting access to specific dates.

You can also select the Keep Hidden option, which makes the Section Option visible only to your organization. If this setting is enabled, families and participants will not see this option during registration.

How do I create a Section Option?

1. Click Programs.

2. Click Edit on the registration where you want to add a Section Option.

3. Click Sections 2.

4. Find the section, click the dropdown, and select Create New Option.

What can I create in a new Section Option?

No prices

The No prices option will allow you to create new options without inputting a price. 

1. Give your new Section Option a Title.

2. (Optional) Type Information about the New Section Option.

3. Select No prices.

4. Enter your Alternatives and click on the plus sign.

5. When adding multiple alternatives, you’ll need to specify whether the registrant can select One option only or Multiple choices, and—if there is a limited number of spots available—you can enable Show spaces available so they can see current availability.

Other Requirement Options

• Required- Make your new Section Option a required field.
• Eligibility Requirement- Selecting the Eligibility Requirement option allows you to create a custom field where registrants must enter specific information to qualify for the section they’ve selected. This can be used for entering discount codes, access credentials, or any criteria that verifies their eligibility. If the registrant does not provide the required information, they will not be considered eligible for that particular section. Note: This feature does not currently validate or flag incorrect entries. If a registrant inputs the wrong code or information, the system will still allow them to proceed. Manual review may be required.
• Keep Hidden- This option allows you to hide specific alternatives from registrants, preventing them from selecting certain Section Options during registration. Once the registration is submitted, you as the admin will have the ability to select the appropriate alternative on their behalf.
• Active Dates- This setting allows you to define a date range during which the Section Option will be available for selection. You can specify both the start and end dates, controlling when the option becomes visible and when it is no longer accessible to registrants.

% Percentages

You can use percentages to either add a fee or apply a discount, depending on how you apply the option. To apply a discount, enter a negative percentage in the amount box. When the registrant selects that option, the specified percentage will be subtracted from the section fee at the end of registration.

$ Dollar amount

Similar to Percentages, this option allows you to either add or subtract a specific dollar amount from the section fee. Use a positive value to add a fee or a negative value to apply a discount.
