In July 2024, GVSLL switched our website platform over to Sports Connect.  This platform switch was driven by a Little League International in an attempt to consolidate and unify on a single integrated platform. Below you will find some links about the new platform and how to get training or help on it

Using Your Team Page

You can communicate with your team, set practices, save files, and more from your Team Page.

Remember, you must be logged in to the Sport Connect website before you can access your page. 

Managers and coaches can access their Team Pages in two ways:

1) Click on TEAM CENTRAL > TEAM DIRECTORY > TEAM NAME > TEAM HOME 

or 

2) Click MY ACCOUNT > VOLUNTEER > VISIT TEAM PAGE

You can also access your page and communicate with your team via the Game Changer mobile app, which you can download here.

For a full list of functionality available on the team page, please see this article.

GameChanger App

GameChanger is an app for your phone that integrates with SportsConnect and is used for scoring games. GVSLL has adopted GameChanger as the tool to track all the live game stats and scores.

Importing Your Team from Sports Connect to GameChanger

NOTE: The GVSLL Admins will do this for you. Below is for reference only!

Before importing your team, you must download the GameChanger app from the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). 

Additionally, make sure that:

• You are using the same email address for GameChanger that you use for Sports Connect

• Your team's roster is live on the Sports Connect website.

• You are an allocated volunteer for your team on the Sports Connect site. 

How to import your Sports Connect Team

1. Sign in to GameChanger with the same email address you use with Sports Connect

2. Tap Create Team or the "+" sign to create a new team

3. Choose the option to Import Sports Connect 

4. If you haven't already confirmed your email address, click Open Email App which will direct you to your email. Select Confirm Email Address, and you'll be redirected back to the GameChanger app.

5. Select the team(s) to import. Make sure the team(s) you want to import have a check next to them, and then tap import in the upper corner of the screen. You will see the status of teams importing at the bottom of the screen.

This feature will import player/schedule information into the mobile app. Schedule and Roster updates made after the team import will automatically sync within the mobile app.

Note: You can only import your team from Sports Connect to GameChanger one time.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE MAKE ALL SCHEDULING CHANGES THROUGH THE WEBSITE AND NOT THE APP. Any updates made to your schedule or roster through the site will automatically update to the GameChanger app. However, events that are listed as "Rescheduled" or "Postponed" on Sports Connect will not appear in GameChanger. 

Game Reporting

Reporting Scores

The home team manager is responsible to update the game's final score.

To input your team's score:

• Navigate to your team page and click the Calendar tab.

• On the calendar page, click on Results.

• Enter the run totals and click Enter.

Reporting Pitch Counts

After each game, both managers are responsible for each of their team's pitch counts.

Both teams should exchange their pitchers' full names and accurate game pitch counts. The home team is responsible for collecting and submitting the score of the game along with both team's pitch counts.

This information should be added to the site (see above).
