Upload one of these banners to the SC website's rotator (the image carousel at the top of the homepage). The banner image itself contains a "REGISTER FOR FALL SOCCER" button — we make the entire banner clickable and link it to our PlayMetrics program-specific registration URL.
Default Theme (960 × 365 px) — matches the standard SC layout width:
Modern 1 Theme (1920 × 570 px) — wider, works if our SC theme supports it:
Modern 2 Theme (1706 × 679 px) — tallest option:
If we want to add "Region 58" or customize the text, use these Canva templates:
Add an announcement on the SC website using the Sports Connect Announcement feature. This puts a notice at the top of the site that families see immediately.
Replace the link with our PlayMetrics program registration URL.
The "Register Now" button on the SC website currently goes to the Sports Connect registration page. We need to redirect it to our PlayMetrics registration URL.
Two-track communication: imported families get a personalized PlayMetrics invite (Step 10 of the Data Import guide), and everyone else gets a general announcement email through SC.
| Audience | Channel | Message |
|---|---|---|
| Imported families | PlayMetrics invite system | Personalized invite with pre-linked player data — sent before registration opens |
| Everyone else | Sports Connect email blast | "Registration is now open on our new platform" — generic PM registration link. Use the Fall Email Template above, swap in "Region 58" and our link. |
PlayMetrics and AYSO have partnered with Duda, a web development platform, to create a custom AYSO theme and provide each region with a new website. This will eventually replace the Sports Connect website entirely.
For the Fall 2026 pilot, no action is needed on the Duda website. The SC site stays live — we just redirect registration traffic to PlayMetrics. The Duda website migration is a separate project that will happen later.

Master project view. The go-live steps in this website guide are a subset of the full launch sequence tracked there — including data import, PM review, and merchant account activation that must happen before we send the go-live email and post to social media.
Player data import must be completed before go-live communications. Imported families get personalized PM invites; everyone else gets the SC email blast described in Step 4 of this guide. The import guide covers the full sequencing.
When writing go-live emails or updating the SC website, use consistent terminology. This guide maps SC terms to PM equivalents so parent-facing communications are clear.
