Subscribing to CYLA Calendars on iOS Devices

Follow Your Centennial Team using a Subscribed Calendar

Add an Internet Calendar Subscription to iPhone/iPad/iPod


An Internet Calendar Subscription is a calendar that you download and view in your iOS device. However, unlike a Calendar Snapshot, Internet Calendar Subscriptions are updated automatically. As game or practice information for your team changes, your subscribed calendar will reflect the updates.

 
The iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch support the ability to add and subscribe to remote calendars that will show up in the Calendar application alongside any other existing calendars you might already have (such as Google Calendar).

To add your team calendar to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch:
  1. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, navigate to your Centennial team page, then click the iCal link on the bottom right of the team calendar (Figure 1). A page with a WebCal address will appear (Figure 2). 
  2. Copy and paste the WebCal address into the Safari browser. Alternatively, you can go to the page on a normal web browser and you can send an email to yourself with the WebCal URL, then you can click on it from your iPhone/iPad/iPod email program.
  3. After clicking on the WebCal URL, you will be prompted to Subscribe to the calendar. Click Subscribe and follow further instructions on your screen to add your team calendar to your Calendar application (Figure 3).
  4. Note that it may take up to an hour or so for the events to show in the calendar (CYLA is providing the data immediately but it takes a while to sync onto the iPhone/iPad).
     
You can also subscribe to an iCalendar URL manually if the WebCal method above is not working:
  1. Obtain the iCalendar URL for your team's schedule. You may wish to do this from your iPhone/iPad, or email this URL to an e-mail account on your iPhone/iPad. This will make it easier to follow the steps below.
  2. Copy the iCalendar URL to your clipboard on iPhone/iPad.
  3. On your iPhone/iPad, go to Settings
  4. Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars
  5. Tap Add Account
  6. Tap Other
  7. Tap Add Subscribed Calendar
  8. Paste the iCalendar URL that you copied above into the Server text box
  9. Enter a description for the calendar in the Description text box (for example, "Centennial U13 Black"). The description is optional -- by default it is the same as the iCalendar URL.
  10. Tap Next
  11. Tap Save
The next time you go to your calendar, you should see your team's events from the calendar you added. If the events do not show up right away, try again in a few minutes (it may take time to download the events).  Please note that events on subscribed calendars are not editable by the end user.
