Adding athletes via the Members Module allows you to upload athletes in bulk and add them to their respective teams. This will save valuable time uploading a larger roster at an organization level instead of individual rosters for each team.
Steps to Upload Athletes in Bulk:
1. Navigate to the Members module.
2. From the Manage Members dropdown menu, select Add Athlete and choose No Team.
3. Click on Upload Athlete CSV and download the provided Excel template.
4. Fill in the template with up to 400 athletes. Be careful not to change the formatting and instead paste values only into the appropriate cells. Changing formatting will result in an unsuccessful upload.
Required fields: First Name, Last Name, Email, and Team Name.
The Team Name must exactly match a team that already exists in your platform. Only one team can be listed per athlete in the Team Name field.
5. Save your completed file as a csv and click Upload Athlete CSV to upload it.
6. After the upload, a confirmation pop-up will appear stating "CSV Upload Successful". Click Close to review the uploaded information.
Important: The upload will fail if there are typos in email addresses or if you modify the format of the CSV file.
7. Scroll down and click the green checkmark to confirm adding these athletes to your team(s).
8. If prompted with an email notification pop-up, choose whether you want to send registration invite emails now.
If you select No, you can send invitations later either from the Roster on the Team Page or through the Members Module for all unregistered users.
Important Considerations
Multi-Team Athletes:
If athletes belong to multiple teams, they can be uploaded multiple times using the Team or Members module. However, they cannot appear more than once on the same CSV file.Managing Team Affiliations:
You can update an athlete’s team affiliations anytime from the Members module.
