Creating a Post — League Organizers
This guide will walk you through the steps to create and publish a League Organiser post in NorCal.
League Organiser posts are a powerful way to share updates, news, and important information with the people who matter most. These posts appear in the home feed of those connected to your league — including team staff, players, guardians, and fans — and with flexible targeting options, you can ensure your message reaches exactly the right audience.
You need to be a League Organizer Admin to use this feature.
