Setting up a team page families will actually use

Every team needs one place where families can find the schedule, the location and what to bring. Here's how to set one up safely.

What to include

• Season schedule with locations and arrival times
• Coach and team-parent contact (an adult's team email works best)
• What to bring, plus league rules and policies
• Fundraising updates and sponsor thank-yous

What to keep off a public page

• Players' full names together with photos
• Home addresses, phone numbers and birthdays
• Medical details and pickup arrangements
• Real-time location or travel plans

Free and simple options

Many leagues provide a team page in their registration platform. Team-management apps, a private group chat or a shared document also work. Choose whatever your families will actually check, and make sure only approved adults can post.
