Guiding Principles for Submissions

Our goal is to create a social media presence that reflects the diversity, excellence, and passion of the City SC Southwest community. We value content that:

  • Celebrates achievements at all levels of play.
  • Reflects the joy of the game and the bonds between players, families, and coaches.
  • Demonstrates our commitment to player development, both on and off the field.

By submitting content, you give City SC Southwest permission to use it across our official platforms, including but not limited to social media, newsletters, and marketing materials.

Thank you for helping us share the incredible stories that make up our City SC Southwest family!

Instagram & Facebook Page Creation:

Please do not create an individual IG/FB account page for your team. This goes against City SC’s branding guidelines and is not permitted. CONTENT POSTED TO TEAM IG ACCOUNTS WILL NOT BE SHARED BY OUR PRIMARY ACCOUNTS.

Any pages created for a specific team and/or athlete may not use our core branding identity, including our logo, in their profile or within the content posted to their feed. We recognize the value of these pages in keeping teams connected and providing a space to share content within your community. However, it is essential that these pages do not present themselves as an official representation of City SC Southwest to maintain brand consistency and clarity.  We appreciate your continued support in this space.
