Getting Started

Home Page

One of the first things you'll want to do is to modify your home page content. The home page consists of your banner, menus, and content. The left side of the page contains your main content area and consists of information from three different areas. Your welcome message is always displayed first. After your welcome message, any announcements will be listed next, followed by any news items. The main difference between the welcome message and the news and announcements (other than the order they are displayed), is the welcome message cannot be archived like the news and announcements can. If you like to keep a history of items you add to your home page so you can refer back to them, then you'll want to add those items to your announcements or news sections.

The right side of your home page contains content that you can choose to have displayed or not. In the admin area, select the "Site Info" link from the "Edit" menu. This will show you some of the information about your web site along with which home page options are selected for display. You can use this page to modify those options and change what you'd like displayed in the right nav area on the home page.

As you add information into the admin area such as practices, games, league standings, etc., those items will then automatically be displayed in the right nav area if you have selected them in the "Site Info" page in the admin area.

Adding Practices, Games, and Roster Information

Now that your familiar with the home page design, it's time to start adding information about your team. To add players to your roster, select "Roster" from the "Edit" menu in the admin. From this page you can enter all the players on your team along with contact information. The email addresses added to the roster will be used when you want to generate an email from your admin area using the "Email" page.

You add practices from the "Practice Schedule" page in the admin area. When you add a practice you can specify a location, a beginning and ending time, you can add the practice for multiple weeks with the same day and time, or multiple days for the same time. You can also have the practice added to your calendar. Below a practice has been added for four consecutive Thursdays from 5-7 and has been added to the calendar.
