Public Team Pages: Give Your Grassroots Football Team a Home on the Web

What You Can Show — and What's Opt-In

Coaches control everything from the Public Page button on the team dashboard. Some sections are on by default because they're useful and low-risk. Others are opt-in only — you have to deliberately switch them on.

You can also write a short team description that appears at the top of your public page — perfect for a welcome message, a note about your ethos, or a shout-out to your sponsor.

How to Turn It On

It takes about 30 seconds. From your team dashboard:

1. 1Tap the Public Page button in the Coach Quick Actions row.
2. 2Toggle on the sections you want to show — record, fixtures, results, squad, leaderboards, photos.
3. 3Add a team description if you like, then tap Copy Link and share it.

That's it. The link uses your club name, team name and season — something like squadgod.app/team/riverside-fc-u12s-2026-27 — so it reads well in a text or a tweet. If you've built a strong team identity, the public page is where it lives for the world to see.

Safeguarding: Built In, Not Bolted On

If you coach a youth team, safeguarding isn't a nice-to-have — it's the first thing you think about when anything goes online. We built Public Team Pages with that in mind from day one.

These rules mean a coach can't accidentally expose a child's full name or face on a public URL — even if they're in a hurry and ticking every toggle. The safeguarding sits underneath the controls, not on top of them.

For adult teams, photos and full names are still opt-in — the coach has to deliberately switch them on. The default is always the safer option.

Recruit New Players from Your Public Page

Finding players is one of the hardest parts of running a grassroots team. Every season, coaches post in local Facebook groups, pin messages on village notice boards, and ask existing parents to "ask around" — and every season, some teams fold because they can't find that extra body.

Public Team Pages now have a built-in recruiting mode. Flip on "Open to new players" in the Public Page settings and two things happen on your public page:

It's a lightweight, always-on recruitment board that lives at your team's own URL. Share the link in a local parents' group, put it on a flyer, or pin it to the club Facebook page — anyone who clicks can see you're recruiting and get in touch directly.

Who's the Public Page For?

We Don't Put You in a Directory

Public pages are discoverable by link, not by browsing. There's no public list of all SquadGod teams — nobody can stumble onto your team's page by scrolling a directory. The only people who see it are the people you share the link with.

We also ask search engines not to index public team pages, so your team's URL won't appear in Google search results. The page is public in the sense that anyone with the link can view it — not public in the sense that anyone can find it by searching.

If you ever want to take the page down, just switch it off from the Public Page modal. The link stops working immediately.

Turn Your Season Into a Story

A public team page is the simplest way to show the outside world what your squad is up to — without a website, without social media, and without putting player data at risk. It pulls straight from the fixtures you're already logging and the stats you're already tracking, so it updates itself every week.

If you've already got a team on SquadGod, head to your dashboard and tap the Public Page button. If you're new here, it takes two minutes to set up your team — and then your public page comes with it, free.
