How do I add a player?

Add a player manually from your roster, or choose a faster option for larger rosters.

Use this guide when you need to add one player, spare, spectator, staff member, or manager to your team roster manually.

This is best for adding one or two people. If you are building a full roster, inviting or importing players is usually faster.

Step 1: Open your roster

  1. Go to Roster.

  2. Click Add (on the web) or tap + (in the app).

The Roster page with the Add button circled, and the + button circled in the iOS app

Step 2: Choose manual entry

  1. Choose Add Manually (web) or Add Someone Manually (app).

The Add menu with Add Manually, Add from Team or Season and Import from CSV/Excel, on desktop and in the iOS app

Step 3: Enter the person's details

Name is required. Everything else is optional, but the more you add the more BenchApp can do for the player.

  1. Enter their Name.

  2. Add an Email if you want them linked to a BenchApp account and receiving team communication. Email is optional, especially for children.

  3. Add a Phone number for contact lists and text-message features.

  4. Under Type, choose their player class: Roster, Spare, Spectator, Staff, and so on.

  5. Fill in any extras you track — jersey number, position, registration number, date of birth. This can always be added later.

  6. Click or tap Done.

The Add Roster form with Name, Email, Phone, Gender, Date of Birth, Reg. # and the Type list, on desktop and in the iOS app

Tip: If you enter the email address of someone who already has a BenchApp account, they're linked to your team automatically — see How do I add a player that already has a BenchApp account?
