What this helps you do
Setup gets your league ready to send: your profile and branding, your timezone and interface language, the league-controlled Blasts account, your email sending address and the defaults a new LeagueBlasts Hub starts with. Setting up a Hub is free. Sending uses prepaid credits at standard pricing, which can come from any legitimate source, and Hub Pro (Journeys and Event Campaigns) unlocks at $500 in cumulative qualifying Blast Credit purchases.
When to use it
Do this once before registration opens, and revisit it when the board turns over.
How to do it
- Sign in at /hub/signin/ with an email code, a passkey, or Sign in with Blasts, then open Settings.
- Enter your league name and website so your logo and colors can be captured automatically.
- Set your timezone so a 6:30 a.m. call goes out at 6:30 a.m. at the field.
- Confirm the league-controlled Blasts account: a mailbox on your league's own domain, not a commissioner's or volunteer's personal address, which is the root of ownership and recovery. Publish the DNS record Settings shows you to verify the domain, and leave it published.
- Check Email sending. Every new Hub starts with 50 email credits, and the weekly digest defaults to Sunday 19:00.
- Leader approval starts on. Decide whether to keep it, and whether connection requests are auto-accepted during registration.
- Create your league's structure under Audiences: divisions, the teams inside them, Coaches & Team Contacts and Officials.
Example
Before spring registration the commissioner enters the league name and website, sets the timezone, verifies the domain, keeps approval on so volunteer coaches' notes are reviewed, creates the six divisions, Coaches & Team Contacts and Officials, and turns on auto-accept for registration season.
Good to know
- The Blasts account belongs to the league, not to one person, so it keeps working when the board turns over.
- Verifying your domain is about ownership and recovery of the league's Blasts account. It is not how people are added here.
- Pricing is standard for leagues; there is no separate league price.
- Add a passkey on Home so the confirmation for a Whole League send uses Face ID, Touch ID or your device PIN.
