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, importing or inviting players is usually faster.
Step 1: Open your roster
Go to Roster.
Click or tap Add.
Step 2: Choose manual entry
Choose Add Someone Manually.
Step 3: Enter the person's details
Name is required. You can also add an email address, phone number, player class, and any extra roster details you want to track.
Email: useful if you want the player linked to a BenchApp account and able to receive team communication.
Phone: adds them to team contact lists and helps with text-based features when available.
Class: choose whether they are a roster player, spare, spectator, staff member, manager, or another supported type.

Step 4: Add optional fields
Use Show All Fields if you want to add extras like jersey number, position, registration number, notes, or other roster details.
Step 5: Save the player
Click or tap Done.
Tip: If you are only adding one or two people, manual entry is usually the fastest option. If you are building a full roster, use one of the options below instead.
Other ways to add players
Invite players to your team: share your team join code so players can add themselves.
Add from another Team or Season: copy players over from a previous BenchApp roster.
Import your roster from CSV or Excel: upload a spreadsheet to add many players at once.
