Go live with a join form before you type a roster. Families fill themselves in; you convert submissions later. An empty home page is allowed, but a logo, one photo, a contact email, and a published registration page is what is worth sharing.
Minimum shareable site
- Branding — organization name, logo, brand colors.
- Home — one landscape hero (about 1920×1080). Tagline is optional.
- Contact — a real person (registrar or office), not a noreply address.
- Registration — create a page, set the notification email, publish it.
- Save & Publish on Public Site → Home. Subdomain cannot change after publish.
Skip About staff bios, documents, and iCal on day one. How-to detail: Public site pages & contact and Publish your site.
Where to get a logo
- Existing website header, Uniform/SportsEngine, or the school athletic mark
- Canva, Looka, or ChatGPT / DALL·E if you have nothing — export a PNG and upload under Branding
- Initials fallback is fine for day one
Where to get photos
Prefer wide landscape shots. Team Bloom resizes and compresses uploads.
- Last season’s Google Drive, team chat, or parent albums — ask three people for one action shot each
- The current club or school website / athletic department
- Unsplash — search your sport plus “youth”, “volleyball gym”, “soccer field”; photos there are free to use under the Unsplash License
There is no in-app Unsplash picker or logo generator — download the file, then upload it here.
Registration fields
Parent first/last/email and player first/last/DOB are always on. For a first tryout, also turn on:
- Phone
- Age groups
- Tryout dates
- Referral source
- Comments
Skip height and experience until a coach asks for them. Unlisted pages (Show in navigation off) still work at /join/[slug] — useful if you only want the link in an event or a text thread.
Do not expect this form to collect a tryout fee. Payment is a ticketed event after Stripe payouts.
