Get Your Spring Sports Team Featured on Patch

Spring sports at Johnston High School and throughout the town are set to begin this first week of April, and we want to hear from you on your favorite teams.

We are looking for athletes, coaches, parents, booster club members and fans who are ready, willing and able to show their team spirit on Johnston Patch. News about any team — high school, middle school, rec. teams, etc. — is welcome!

Here's how you can share news about your sports team this fall:

1. Start a blog about your sports team: Share stats, recaps, photos and/or videos from the game in your own sports blog. Discuss the team, coaches and players with other fans in the community.

2. Upload pictures and video of your team to our gallery: Snap an awesome photo at the game? Catch the winning run or goal on video? Upload it to our community photo gallery.

3. Announce your team's wins, awards, fundraisers, highlights, and more: Did one of your favorite players get named as player of the week? Post an announcement. Have an upcoming fundraiser? Let the community know. Be sure to add a photo if you want your announcement featured on the home page!

4. Place events, such as fundraisers, special competitions, etc., on the calendar: Want to get more fans in the stands? Be sure to let everyone know where and when your next game is taking place by posting it on our free event calendar. This is also a great place to let the community know the where and when of any other special team events.

5. Place an advertisement for even more exposure for your team or business: Contact Advertising Manager Amy Levesque by e-mail at amy.levesque@patch.com.

6. Connect with Johnston Patch on Twitter and Facebook: If you have a team Facebook or Twitter account, be sure to tag us in your posts and tweets so that we can help spread the word. You can follow Johnston Patch on Twitter. Or, "like" us on our Johnston Patch Facebook page here. 

We look forward to covering your favorite sports teams this year and providing you with a platform to share all the great moments and informations about these teams with the community.
