How do I add a player that already has a BenchApp account?

Link an existing BenchApp user to your team.

If a player already uses BenchApp on another team, add them with the email address they use for that account and BenchApp links them to your team — no second account, no lost history.

This is for managers and assistant managers. The quickest route is still the join code; use this when you'd rather add them yourself.

Step 1: Add the player

  1. Go to Roster.

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

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

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

Step 2: Use their existing email

The player gets an email letting them know they've been added, and your team appears in their account right away.

  1. Enter the player's Name.

  2. In Email, enter the address already connected to their BenchApp account.

  3. Choose their Type and click or tap Done.

The Add Roster form with Name and Email fields, on desktop and in the iOS app

Tip: Seeing "This e-mail is already associated with another account"? See what the error means.
