Create Event
Overview
This guide walks you through creating an event on SPORTSHUB. Whether you’re organizing a casual pickup game or a competitive tournament, the event creation process is designed to be intuitive while giving you full control over all the details that matter to your participants.
Creating an event allows you to:
- Set up public events that appear on the main dashboard for anyone to join
- Create private events accessible only via direct link
- Configure payment options for paid events
- Add rich descriptions with images and detailed information
- Manage participant and event logistics
Step-by-Step Event Creation
1. Navigate to Create Event
Click the “Create Event” button located in the top right corner of any page. This will take you to the event creation form where you can configure all aspects of your event.
2. Fill Out Basic Event Information
Complete the essential event details including:
- Event title and sport type
- Date, time, and duration
- Location and venue details
- Participant limits and pricing
- Privacy settings (public/private)
Tip
To create paid events, you’ll need to have Stripe connected to your account. You can choose to absorb Stripe processing fees yourself or pass them on to participants by adjusting the settings in the Additional Settings during event creation.
3. Upload Event Images
Add visual appeal to your event by uploading:
- Thumbnail image: A smaller image that appears in event listings and cards. This will need to be in a square aspect ratio.
- Event banner image: A larger hero image displayed on the event detail page. This will need to be in 16:9 aspect ratio.
High-quality images help attract more participants and give your event a professional appearance.
4. Write a Meaningful Description
Use the rich text editor to create a compelling event description that may include:
- What participants can expect
- Skill level requirements
- What to bring or wear
- Any special instructions or rules
- Contact information for questions
A well-written description helps set proper expectations and reduces participant questions.
