How do I add a player?

Learn how to add players to your team roster in BenchApp. You can add them manually, share an invite code, pull from another team, or upload a CSV.

Head to your Roster page and click Add in the top-right corner, then pick Add Someone Manually.

The Roster page with an arrow pointing to the Add button in the top-right corner

Fill in the player's details. Name is the only required field β€” everything else is optional.

The Add Roster form with callouts showing the Name field (1), Email field (2), and Phone field (3)

  • Email (2): Sends the player a welcome email with their login details automatically.

  • Phone (3): Makes them show up in contact lists for the team.

Under TYPE, choose their role: Roster (regular player), Spare (fill-in), Spectator (follower), or Staff (coach/trainer).

Tap Show All Fields for extras like jersey number, position, and a private manager notes field. Then tap Done to save.

Other ways to add players

Don't want to type everyone in one by one? You've got options:

  • Invite via Code: Share your team's unique join code and let players add themselves.

  • Add from another Team or Season: Pull players from a previous season without re-entering anything.

  • Import via CSV/Excel: Upload a spreadsheet to add everyone at once.
