Updating Your Team’s Page

Summary

Every Sister District team has a web page on our website. The pages can be accessed here: www.sisterdistrict.com/teams. Anyone listed as a District Captain in our database has access to update their team’s page. To request edit access, please use this form. We currently do not have individual pages for Sister District Affiliates.
