Step by step (per device)

You’ll need the feed URL from your coach (looks like webcal://ts.onsnowlive.com/feed/.../...ics). Once you have it:

iPhone (Apple Calendar)

The easiest way is to tap the webcal:// link from your phone — iOS handles the rest.

1. Open the feed URL from your coach in Safari (or any app — a text message link works).
2. iOS shows a prompt: “Subscribe to this calendar?” Tap Subscribe.
3. Confirm the account, name, and color.

That’s it. Events appear in Apple Calendar within seconds.

Manually:

1. Settings → Calendar → Accounts → Add Account.
2. Pick Other → Add Subscribed Calendar.
3. Paste the feed URL into Server. Tap Next.
4. Confirm and save.

Android (Google Calendar)

Google Calendar does not support adding webcal feeds directly from Android. You have to do it once from a desktop browser; after that it appears on Android too.

Step 1 (on a desktop):

1. Open calendar.google.com in a browser.
2. In the left sidebar, find Other calendars → tap the + → From URL.
3. Paste the feed URL. (Replace webcal:// with https:// — Google only accepts https URLs.)
4. Click Add calendar.

Step 2 (on Android):

5. Open the Google Calendar app on your phone.
6. Pull-to-refresh or wait — the new calendar appears within a few minutes.
7. Make sure it’s enabled (the menu has a list of calendars; tap to tick yours on).

Refresh latency on Android Google Calendar: Google polls the webcal feed roughly every 12-24 hours. So changes won’t show up immediately — they wait for Google’s next sync. This is a Google limitation, not ours.

Desktop (Apple Calendar)

macOS Calendar:

1. Open Calendar.app.
2. Menu bar → File → New Calendar Subscription.
3. Paste the feed URL. Click Subscribe.
4. Pick refresh interval (recommend every 15 minutes) and a color.

Outlook (Mac/Windows):

1. In Outlook web (outlook.live.com or outlook.office.com), look for Add calendar in the sidebar.
2. Subscribe from web → paste the feed URL.
3. Name it, pick a color, save.

Outlook’s polling is roughly hourly.

Windows Calendar:

1. Open the Calendar app.
2. Settings → Manage accounts → Add account → iCloud / advanced depending on version.
3. Outlook integration is simpler; the Calendar app’s iCal support varies.

For Windows users, Google Calendar in a browser with the feed added (see Android tab) is often the cleanest path.

Refresh frequency

Platform	How often events sync
Apple Calendar (iPhone or macOS)	~5 minutes
Google Calendar (any device)	12-24 hours (Google’s limit)
Outlook	~hourly

So if the coach changes a practice time, Apple Calendar users see it right away; Google Calendar users see it on the next sync. The family-page chat panel and phone push are always live regardless of which calendar app you use — the iCal feed is a “view in your phone’s calendar” convenience.

Removing the subscription

Same path in reverse — each calendar app has a way to remove a subscribed calendar. Removing it doesn’t affect your family page or push notifications.
