The blocks, and which ones update themselves

What you will learn

The two blocks that genuinely keep themselves current
The two more that are badged as if they do, and are not
All nineteen, grouped by what they are for
Why the gallery block is not your team albums
A default layout that mostly maintains itself

Every block you can put on a team website, grouped by what it does, and which ones genuinely keep themselves up to date rather than only looking as though they do.

There are nineteen. The useful division is not by what they look like but by whether you have to maintain them.

The two that update themselves

Schedule. Your upcoming events, with title, type, date, time and location. Add a game in the app and it appears here.
Coaching Staff. Your coaches, managers and volunteers, with names, roles and photographs. Never players, and never contact details.

Use both wherever they will do, and reach for a text block only when they will not. Every sentence you type is a sentence somebody has to come back and edit.

Two more that look like they do

Standings shows a win, loss and tie record, and those three numbers come from the Record panel in the builder's sidebar, where you type them in. Nothing counts your results for you. If your record on the site is still 0 and 0 in October, this is why. There is also a Show Ties checkbox, worth unticking for a sport that does not have them.

Join / Register is pointed at one of your programs rather than at a URL you type, and it checks that program is still live and unarchived before linking to it. So it keeps itself honest, but it does not follow you to next season's program on its own.

Structure

Navigation Bar, a sticky menu across the top.
Hero Banner, the full width image at the top with a heading and a button. Three styles, including a split layout.
Footer, the bottom of the page.

Content you write

Section Heading, a title with an optional subtitle. Four styles.
Text / Paragraph, ordinary rich text.
Columns, two or three side by side.
Image, a single picture with a caption.
Video Player, an embedded YouTube or Vimeo video.
Photo Gallery, a grid of images, in a regular grid or masonry.
Info Cards, a grid of cards with icons, good for three or four short points.
News / Announcements, team updates.

Asking visitors to do something

Join / Register, which points people at signing up.
Button / CTA, a call to action you aim wherever you like.
Contact Form, so somebody can message the team.

A site with no call to action is a leaflet. If somebody arrives interested, the page should make the next step obvious rather than leaving them to find an email address.

Branding

Sponsors, a grid of sponsor logos.
Social Links, icons linking to your accounts.

A layout that works

If you are staring at an empty page, this order is a reasonable default and takes very little time.

Navigation Bar
Hero Banner, with the team name and a register button
Section Heading, then Schedule
Section Heading, then Coaching Staff
Join / Register
Sponsors, if you have any
Footer

Two of those maintain themselves, the rest are set once and barely change. That is the whole point.

What happens next

See building a team website for assembling and publishing it, and what your site shows the public before it goes live.

Common questions

Which team website blocks update themselves?

Only Schedule and Coaching Staff. The builder badges four blocks as Auto-Sync, but Standings reads three numbers you type into the Record panel, and Join / Register points at a program you picked.

What should I put on a youth sports team website?

A navigation bar, a hero banner with the team name and a register button, the schedule, the coaching staff, a join or register call to action, sponsors if you have them, and a footer. Most of that maintains itself.

Does the Photo Gallery block show my team albums?

No. It shows only images you place in it by hand. Your team photo albums stay private and are never published by any block.

Why should I add a sponsors block?

Because a local business that can see its logo on a real web page is much easier to ask again next season. It is the cheapest fundraising asset most leagues have, and most never build it.

How many blocks do I need?

Four makes a complete site: navigation, hero, schedule and a register button. A site with four good blocks beats one with twelve half-finished ones.
