If you are the coach/manager of a team, or a teacher, your club/school may have set you up with a subsite to use as a team/class site. Team/class sites are subsites of the club/schools main website. A subsite is a mini Sporty site that has two pages and a gallery.
Subsites are useful for distributing news and notices to your team/class, and uploading images to the gallery.
Each subsite has its own URL on the Sporty domain (otherwise known as an Easy Web Address), for example www.sporty.co.nz/myclub or www.sporty.com.au/myclub.
Note: If you don't know the URL link of your subsite, you can log in to the main site, go into your Dashboard, and then click on Manage Websites as shown on this support article.
Getting started
To log in, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Admin Login.
Note: Advertising only appears on subsites of sites which are on a free plan.
Once you've logged in, you'll now be viewing your site in edit mode, so you will be able to begin adding content.
If you do not have a username and password, please contact the main website’s administrator.

Send push notifications to team/class members
You can communicate directly with your team/class and supporters via push notification using the Notices widget.

Next, open the app, then click the Alerts icon.
Then, click the settings cog icon.
Switch the toggle to subscribe to your team to receive alerts/notifications.
Send emails to team/class members
You can communicate directly with your team/class and supporters via email using the Notices widget. Your team/class members can click the Email me notices link to opt-in to receive email notices, or you can manually add email addresses to this list by clicking the settings cog of the Notices widget and then clicking Add Subscriber.
When you send the notice it will send a push notification as well as an email to everyone on the subscribers list.
