To Create bottom half of your Team Page:


See examples completed on page 12 & 13. If you work on an even page use pg. 12 as an example. Odd page use pg. 13.


From the Home page:

  • Click on “Create” in the gray bar
  • Click on the “pages” tab in the bar at the left of the screen
  • Scroll down to find your page as a thumbnail view
  • Click on thumbnail to bring up your page.
  • Click on “images” in the bar at the left

In the drop down box (“Portrait” usually defaults), scroll down and select the folder you need.The images should appear in the left bar below the drop down box. Simply drag and drop the photos into the blue photo boxes (bottom half of page, underneath the team photo) To modify the placement of the photo box: place the cursor on any edge and when you see the “plus sign,” drag and drop the photo box.


To change the size of the photo box: place the cursor on one corner and when you see the diagonal arrow, click and drag to either enlarge or reduce the size To crop the photo, once it’s on the page, double click on it and drag the bar that appears above it. You can also adjust the placement of the photo in the box.


To enter team name, members, coaches and sponsor names/info and players names to the team photo: This section is tricky. As you add your names, do not try to move information around, or enlarge areas. Use a smaller font size to fit names. You’ll want to see the red outlined box as you work on naming areas. Before you leave the page you will be asked to save your page, please save it. 


To enlarge the page size so that you can see what your typing click on the Fit Page Key and choose 75 or 100%. Please place ALL your team’s information onto the Team Page. It doesn’t need to look perfect. I need correct spellings and placement of information. I can touch up the final appearance.

  • Add your team name next to your team number.
  • To add coaches and sponsors, click underneath these words an begin entering information
  • To add players names click after back row and type the back row. Do the same for middle, front and missing rows.
