How to Add a Roster

Important Note When Rostering

As you begin to add your roster, you may notice that some of the player or coach information will begin to auto-fill. This will happen if PlayerFirst finds an existing account for the player or coach based off what has been inputted.

If this occurs, you will not be able to modify the information (ex: the email or phone number). If the email or phone needs to change, you should contact the family directly and prompt them to update their PlayerFirst account accordingly.

Once the family updates their account, it will reflect on the roster.
