We’ve updated the team pages on Pitchero club websites, giving teams a cleaner, more professional and better organised online presence.
The refreshed design places greater emphasis on your team image while making key information such as fixtures, results, league position, team news, officials and sponsors easier for visitors to find.
Whether you manage a football, rugby, hockey, cricket or other sports club website, your team pages are often one of the first places players, parents, supporters and prospective members will visit.
With the new design now live, this is the perfect opportunity to review your team pages and make sure they represent your club at its best.
Choose a high-quality team image
One of the biggest changes to the new Pitchero team page design is the increased prominence of the team image.
A strong team photo can immediately make your page look more professional and give visitors a better first impression of your club.
We recommend checking every team page on your website to see how your existing images appear within the updated layout.
Use a clear, high-resolution photo that represents the team. A recent squad photo or good-quality action image will normally work best. Avoid low-resolution photos, excessive cropping or images where players are positioned too close to the edge.
For the best results, upload your image using the recommended dimensions and format:
2500px × 1064px, or 2.35:1 (2.35x wider than it is long)
Use AI to resize your team photos
If your current team photo doesn't fit the recommended dimensions, you may not need to retake it.
AI image tools can help resize existing photo and expand the background where necessary. Simply upload the original photo and ask the AI tool to resize it to the required dimensions while expanding the background rather than stretching the image or cropping players out.
Always check the finished image carefully before uploading it to your club website, particularly faces, club badges and sponsor branding.
What information should a Pitchero team page contain?
Your team page should act as the online home for that individual team.
Visitors should quickly be able to understand who the team is, see recent results, find upcoming fixtures and access the latest team news.
Start with a short introduction explaining who the team is and, where relevant, the league or division in which they compete.
Pitchero can then bring together important team information including upcoming matches, recent results, league standings, training details, news, match reports, officials and sponsors.
Try to keep the content focused specifically on the team.
General information about the wider club, such as its history, facilities, policies, membership information or other club-wide content, should instead be added to the Information pages on your Pitchero club website.
Keeping these areas separate makes your website easier to navigate and ensures each team page remains relevant.
Add professional photos for team officials
The Team Officials section is another important part of creating a professional-looking team page.
Coaches, managers and volunteers are often the main point of contact for players and parents, so adding good-quality photo helps visitors quickly recognise the people responsible for the team.
Make sure your officials are up to date and, where possible, add a clear profile photo for every person listed.
Using photo with a similar crop and style throughout the section can make the page look even more consistent and professional.
Showcase your club and team sponsors
Your Pitchero team pages are also a valuable place to give sponsors greater visibility.
The sponsor section can be used to showcase businesses supporting an individual team as well as wider sponsors of the club.
Always upload the highest-quality version of each sponsor logo available. Clear, high-resolution logos make the page look more professional and give commercial partners the exposure they expect from their sponsorship.
Avoid screenshots, pixelated images or logos containing unnecessary backgrounds.
Presenting sponsors professionally can also help when approaching potential new partners, showing how your club recognises the businesses that support it.
Control what visitors can see
Not every piece of team information needs to be available to everyone.
Club Webmasters can visit their team settings to control which content is publicly visible on the website and which information should only be available to certain club members.
This gives clubs greater control over how each team page is presented while helping ensure that more sensitive or member-specific information is only shown to the appropriate audience.
When reviewing your updated team pages, it is worth checking these settings alongside the page content itself.
Think about what information is useful for supporters, prospective players and other website visitors to see publicly, and what is more appropriate for logged-in members of the club.
Keeping these settings up to date helps create a useful public-facing team page while still giving members access to the information they need.
