Setting up your team

Add your team photo, upload profile pictures, and invite team members.

This guide will show you how to add your team photo, upload team member profile pictures, and invite your team members to connect to their profiles and join your team.

Getting started

First you'll need to log in to the NorCal web application and go to the team admin page. As a team staff member you will receive a "Set up your team" email to your email address registered in the league management system.

  • Click the link in the email to go to mysoccer.ontariosoccer.net and log in with your mobile number.
  • If you didn't get the email, you'll still be connected automatically if your mobile number is on your profile in the league management system.

Once logged in, find your roles and teams under Following in the global navigation (red banner at the top of the page). Press your team under Following to navigate to the team page.

    2. Set a display name (if needed)

    If the team name from the league management system makes your team hard to find for your followers, you can add a display name. Only include the team name — do not add the club name. Use a name your followers will recognise from your website, social media, or RSVP messages. Example: G15, Girls U21, or Boys 2014 Red.

    3. Upload a team photo

    Uploading a team photo is a great way to make your team page look nice and engaging to your fans.

    Shirt colour info also shows on your team page but does not affect kit colour information in the league management system.

    When you are happy with the team info, click Save. You can come back at any time and make further changes.

    Team members page

    The Team Members page is where you manage your players and team staff. You can invite members, edit certain details, and upload profile images. Names will appear in the table, but NorCal accounts aren't active until players or staff download the app and complete registration.

    Invites to the NorCal app are sent via mobile phone. Without a mobile number, you won't be able to invite a player or team staff member.

    Import your players and staff from connected systems, or add them manually to complete your team setup.

    Inviting team staff

    In most cases, staff mobile numbers are imported automatically from the league management system.

    1. Add a profile image

    Adding profile images helps bring life to your team and game pages. If you have access to recent team photos, we recommend uploading them.

    2. Tap the Invite button

    The staff member's mobile number will automatically be set — you can just hit the button. If a staff member's mobile number is missing from the league management system, you can also enter it here.

    Add staff

    Inviting players

    Player mobile phone numbers are not automatically imported from the league management system. You need to enter them before inviting players to NorCal.

    This opens the edit player page, where you can enter essential and optional information. Some fields are locked and cannot be changed.

    4. Edit the player details

    • Add a profile image
      Just like with team staff, adding player images improves the look of your team and match pages. Use recent team photos if available.
    • Enter the player's mobile number
      Required to send the app invite.
    • Enter the player's email address (Optional)
      Used for communication and account recovery.
    • Fill in remaining details (Optional)
      Jersey number, position, or any other relevant info.
    • Check the "Send player invite" box
      This is usually checked by default. Make sure it is before saving.

      This sends the app invite, saves the updates, and returns you to the Team Members page.

    Adding a player guardian

    Inviting a player's parent or guardian is a great way to introduce them to the platform, while also ensuring they automatically follow the player — even if the player changes teams.

    1. Click the Add Guardian link

    In the player table, locate the Add Guardian link shown below the player's name in the row.

    Team Members

    Import your players and staff from connected systems, or add them manually to complete your team setup.
