Coach Player Profile Updates – How It Works

1️⃣ Logging In (Required)

Coaches must be logged in to update player profiles.

  • The email shown on your team page is your login email

  • Use that email to sign in via:Login → Members Area

If you are logged in but do not see your team or players, one of the following is true:

  • You are logged in with a different email

  • Your coach account has not been linked yet

If this happens, contact an admin for assistance.


2️⃣ Page Overview – What You’ll See

Once logged in, click your name in the top-right corner of the site.This opens a menu of available pages.

Select Team Update Page to begin.

On this page, you will:

  • Select your team (if you manage more than one)

  • Update existing players

  • Add new players

  • Retire players from your roster


Adding a New Player (Important)

If you are adding a player:

  • Do not select a player from the player dropdown

  • Click New Player instead

  • This creates a new record in the database

  • Enter the player’s information so:

    • The player appears on your team page

    • A player profile page can be created

Page Elements

You will see:

  • Team selector (if applicable)

  • Player selector

  • Editable player fields

  • Action buttons:

    • Save Changes

    • New Player

    • Retire Player

  • Media upload section:

    • Headshot

    • School logo

    • Media gallery

Status Messages

Status messages appear near the action you take:

  • Top of page → which player or mode you’re in

  • Near Save button → save results

  • Media section → upload confirmations

  • Existing data is never overwritten unless you edit it

  • Clicking Save Changes updates text, numbers, tags, and dates
