How to Start a Team

 

Team Registration

 

  1. Choose a league and select "Team."
     
  2. Send your invite link so teammates can join and/or pay.
     
  3. Need players? Recruit Free Agents from your Team Dashboard.

 

 

Team Payment Basics

 

  • Risk-free cancellation: Cancel any time up to the Signup Deadline for a full refund.
     
  • Deadline: Full balance due by Signup Deadline. After that, any unpaid amount is automatically charged to Captain’s card on file.
     
  • Responsibility: Captains ensure dues are paid in full, on time. Use TeamPayer to invoice teammates directly toward the balance.
     
  • Refunds: Dues are non-refundable after the Signup Deadline, unless SOPFC cancels a league entirely.
     
 

Managing Your Team

 

Add Players

 

  1. Log in → Manage Team
     
  2. Invite Player (past teammates) or Send Link (anyone)
     
  3. Recruit Free Agents directly from your Team Dashboard

 

 

Keep Everyone Organized

 

  • Manage Team - See your full roster.
     
  • Message Team - Email your team. 
     
  • Team Chat - Group chat or DM teammates in the SOPFC app.
     
  • TeamPayer - Track invites & invoices.

 

 

Reminders

 

Players on your roster can enable automatic game-day email reminders with date, time, location, and RSVP links. Encourage everyone to join the roster each season so they get reminders.

 

 

Finding Players

 

1. Recruit Free Agents from your Team Dashboard (best first stop).

 

2. Post in our Facebook group to fill spots quickly.

 

3. Post on IG stories with player needs, tag @sonsofpitchesfc, and we’ll reshare.

 

4. Join SOPFC pickup games and meet players in person.

 

5. Ask friends & coworkers (word of mouth works!).
