Sprocket schedules can live right inside Google Calendar — games, practices, and club events next to everything else, updating on their own. The tricky part isn't the subscribing; it's that Sprocket is white-labeled club software, so nothing on your club's site says "Sprocket" and the instructions are hard to search for.
This guide covers where the feed link hides on a Sprocket club site, the exact Google Calendar steps (including the phone-app trap), and the fine print about refresh timing.
Log in to your club's Sprocket site. Sprocket is white-labeled, so this is your club's own website — the one you use for registration and payments, usually at an address like yourclub.sprocketsports.com. Log in first: the calendar options (and even Sprocket's help articles) are only visible once you're signed in.
Open your team's schedule. From the dashboard, go to the team whose games you want, then its schedule or calendar view — the page showing the actual list of events, not the club-wide calendar on the public marketing side of the site.
Find the calendar subscription control and Copy to Clipboard. On the schedule you're looking for a calendar or subscribe control offering Copy to Clipboard (alongside shortcuts for specific calendar apps). Copy to Clipboard is the one you want — it gives you the raw feed address. Because clubs white-label Sprocket, the button may sit in a slightly different spot than another club's; if the web dashboard hides it, the Sprocket Sports mobile app has the same option on the team schedule.
Open Google Calendar in a browser — the phone app can't do this part. On a computer, go to calendar.google.com. On a phone, the Google Calendar app has no way to add a calendar from a URL — open calendar.google.com in your phone's browser instead (Request Desktop Site if the mobile page hides the settings).
Add calendar → From URL → paste → Add. In the left sidebar, click the + next to "Other calendars" and choose From URL. Paste the Sprocket link and click Add calendar. If Google rejects a webcal:// link, change webcal:// to https:// and try again.
Check it on your phone. Events show up on the web within a minute. In the Google Calendar phone app, open Settings, find the new calendar under your account, and make sure Sync is on.
Subscribing puts the schedule in Google Calendar, but Google refreshes subscribed feeds on its own cycle — typically every 12 to 24 hours — and it never notifies you when an event changes. A game that moved this morning can still show the old time at pickup. Schedule Caddie checks the same Sprocket feed every day and emails you exactly what changed, so the calendar on your phone is the backup, not the only line of defense.
Paste the link into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook and it works — and it's genuinely fine for one team. The squeeze comes at two kids on three teams: every team is another link, another subscription, another calendar color to manage by hand — and none of them warn you when two games land at the same hour.
I've never heard of Sprocket — I just use my club's website
That's the normal experience: Sprocket is white-labeled club software, so it's your club's site with Sprocket underneath. If your club's address looks like yourclub.sprocketsports.com, or the site footer credits Sprocket Sports, this guide applies.
I can't find the subscribe option on the web dashboard
Try the Sprocket Sports mobile app — the subscribe control lives on both surfaces but isn't always in the same place. Go to the same team's schedule in the app and look for the calendar/subscribe option there.
There's no "From URL" option in my Google Calendar app
The phone app genuinely can't add subscribed calendars — that step has to happen at calendar.google.com in a browser. Once added there, it syncs to the app on its own.
A game moved but Google still shows the old time
Google refreshes subscribed calendars on its own cycle — typically 12 to 24 hours — and there's no way to force it. If knowing about changes quickly matters, Schedule Caddie checks the same feed daily and emails you exactly what changed.
Google decides on its own — typically every 12 to 24 hours, with no setting to speed it up. Changes arrive silently: the event just moves, with no notification that it moved.
No. Subscribed calendars update quietly in the background. If you want an actual heads-up, Schedule Caddie watches the same Sprocket feed daily and emails you exactly what changed — new time, old time, which team.
Sprocket pulls club events, team practices, league games and camps into the same schedule system, so the feed reflects whatever your club publishes to that team's schedule.
A From-URL subscription only lives in the Google account that added it. Simplest options: have them subscribe with the same link in their own Google Calendar, or put the schedule in Schedule Caddie and send them a share link that works in any browser with no setup.
At calendar.google.com, hover over the calendar in the left sidebar and click the X (or open its settings and choose Unsubscribe). You can re-add it with the same link anytime.
Each app means another link and another separate calendar in Google. That's the point where one merged family calendar beats five subscriptions — Schedule Caddie takes the same links (Sprocket, TeamSnap, GameChanger, school PDFs) and merges them into one color-coded calendar with conflict detection.
Every kid, every schedule, every app — merged, color-coded, and watched for changes.
