How to import athletes into a roster

*If the roster has not previously been created please see "Creating Rosters"

  1. Navigate to the Rosters page

  2. Open the roster the data is to be imported to

  3. Click the "Options" button

  4. Select "Import Athletes" from the drop down

  5. Check that your spreadsheet is formatted correctly (details below)

  6. Click the blue "Select File" button

  7. Check to make sure the columns from the spreadsheet (left column) are
    correctly mapped to/match the columns for the roster (right column)

  8. Click the blue "Upload" button

  9. Verify the imported athletes
    - if importing an existing athlete you will have the option to update their
    information with the existing record

  10. Click "Finalize Import"

Time Saver!!!
If you have access to export the roster from Hudl, Infinite Campus, Power School or other like platforms, as long as you have the required information for all athletes the roster may be exported from the platform and imported into Rack quickly.

Roster Import Rules:

  • The roster must be saved as a .xls or .xlsx file type (typically from Excel or Google Sheets)

  • There must be at least a first name, last name and email address for every athlete on the sheet.

  • Each Column must have a header identifying what the column contains (i.e. First Name, Last Name, Email ....)

Other information that may be added to the roster for import is the graduation year, gender, D.O.B, and phone number
