Use roster import when you already have your players in a spreadsheet and want to add them to BenchApp in one pass.
This guide is for managers and assistant managers building or updating a team roster.
Step 1: Open the roster importer
Go to your Roster.
Click or tap Add.
Choose Import via CSV/Excel.
Step 2: Download and complete the template
Download the Microsoft Excel or CSV template.
Fill in your players' details.
Step 3: Upload and review your file
Upload the completed file.
Review the imported players and save them to your roster.
Step 4: Confirm required and optional fields
Name and Class are required. Class tells BenchApp whether the person is a roster player, spare, spectator, staff member, coach, manager, or another supported roster type.
Optional fields include email, phone, gender, jersey number, registration number, birthdate, position, and access level.
What happens after import?
Players with email addresses will receive instructions for logging in. Players who already have BenchApp accounts will be linked to your team.
Other ways to add players
