Filing posts in selected sub pages
-
I run a sports blog and often write articles that pertain to multiple teams. I’ve given each one of those teams its own page.
Is it possible to submit a post and have it linked to those specific pages on my site without manually posting it to each one?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

No. You cannot post automatically to any more than one Page on a blog. If you have a Page based structure then you only have the copy and paste option.
Posts and Pages are very different. There is no automatic way to post to more than one page on a blog. Blogs are designed so the front page is where dynamic content in the most recent posts are displayed in reverse chronological order.
Pages are static and sit outside the blog structure. They are intended to be used for content that rarely, if ever, changes. They can only be updated by editing. They cannot have categories and tags assigned to them, and they have very little Google juice.
You can create as many static pages as you like but every one of them will require editing in order to add new information to it. You can even assign another page as your static front page. The result will be that your blog will struggle to achieve backlinks, authority in its niche, and PageRank because you have structured it to be a mock website.
The vast and overwhelming amount of Google juice goes to posts because that’s the way blogs are designed and how they function. The most Google juice of all goes to the front page of a blog, because blogs are structured in reverse chronological order, and search engines are programmed to locate dynamic content on the front page.
You can create as many static pages as you like but every one of them will require editing in order to add new information to it. You can even assign another page as your static front page and cripple your blog so it gets no backlinks, next to no Google juice, and you compromise its ability to achieve a PageRank by making it into a mock website.
Consequently, if you want your Posts to be backlinked to, and you want your blog to garner targeted organic traffic from search engines, and achieve both authority in its niche and PageRank, then use the conventional post based structure that blogs are designed to have.

I would assign those posts to categories and the categories would be the names of the teams. The posts would get lots of Google juice and any reader clicking on a Team name category could immediately locate all the posts pertaining to that team.
