Give your family its own sports calendar page — at your own URL

A family calendar comes with a long, random link you can't read over the phone. For families who share theirs constantly, one small upgrade swaps it for an address you can actually remember.

Your family calendar comes with a permanent share link — but it's a long, random string you can't read over the phone or remember. For families who share their schedule constantly, one small annual upgrade swaps it for an address you'd actually want to hand out.

What the upgrade adds

One thing: your own address. Claim something like schedulefc.com/smithfamily— short enough to say out loud, short enough to pin in a group chat. (Addresses are letters and numbers only, so "The Smith Family" becomes smithfamily.)

Your original link keeps working. The custom address is an additional way in — it never breaks what you've already shared, so nobody who already subscribed has to do anything.

What you already have

These come with every calendar, so there's nothing to buy for them:

  • Decide what your page shows — set your main page to games only, or games and practices. Sharing mostly with family? Practices can stay off the page everyone sees.
  • A games-only link — a separate link for the grandparents who only come to games.
  • A private page— turn on an email gate so only addresses you've approved can open it.
  • Two calendar feeds — let people subscribe to the full calendar or just the games.

Who it's for

Most families never need it — the automatic link works fine when you send it once and everyone subscribes. The custom address is for families who've made the calendar a hub: lots of relatives, lots of sharing, and a link that gets read out loud often enough that its length starts to matter.

How to get it

  1. Build or open your calendar at schedulefc.com/calendar-builder.
  2. Pick your address — it checks availability as you type.
  3. Claim it. Your page is live at the new address immediately, and the old link keeps working.
