AYSO Region 58 — Sports Connect → PlayMetrics  |  April 2026
The Plan The current website at www.ayso58.org is hosted on Sports Connect (Blue Sombrero). Sports Connect is being sunset in 2027, and AYSO is partnering with Duda for a replacement website platform. For the Fall 2026 pilot, the SC website stays live but we need to redirect families to PlayMetrics for registration. This guide covers: updating the SC site to point to PlayMetrics, the go-live email blast to families, social media announcements, and the future Duda website.

Upload Rotator Banner to Sports Connect Before Go-Live

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.

Available Banners — Pick One Theme

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:

💡 Recommendation Use the Default theme (960 × 365) since our SC site uses the standard layout. Link the banner to our PlayMetrics program-specific registration URL (grab it from Programs → [Fall 2026 Core] → Registration Link).

Customizable Canva Templates

If we want to add "Region 58" or customize the text, use these Canva templates:

2
Add SC Announcement Page Before Go-Live

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.

Announcement Template Text
⚽ Exciting Update!
Our Region has moved to a new registration platform, PlayMetrics, for an improved AYSO experience.

Replace the link with our PlayMetrics program registration URL.

💡 See It in Action Region 9697 has a working example: www.ayso9697.org. They also created a dedicated PlayMetrics transition page you can copy/paste content from.
3
Request SC "Register Now" Button Redirect At Go-Live

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.

⛔ This Goes Through Sports Connect Support — NOT PlayMetrics PlayMetrics cannot make changes to the SC website. Submit a support ticket or use the live chat through Sports Connect to request the redirect. Provide our PlayMetrics program-specific registration URL.
4
Send Go-Live Email to Families At Go-Live

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.

⚠️ Avoid Double-Messaging Subtract imported families from the SC "all users" list when sending the general email blast. Imported families already received their personalized invite from PlayMetrics.

Future: Duda Website Replacement Later

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.

✅ What This Means for Now The SC website at www.ayso58.org continues to serve as our public-facing site for schedules, field info, contacts, and general region information. Only registration is moving to PlayMetrics for this season. When the Duda website is ready, we'll migrate everything.

Migration Status Dashboard

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.

Data Import Steps

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.

Terminology Guide

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.
