Import Coaches Tool

To Import Coaches Using a CSV File

1. Go to Master Menu - People Tab - Coach Import.
2. Download the sample file by clicking the "Click here to view a sample spreadsheet" link under the save button. This will download a csv file on your computer. Open this in excel to view the spreadsheet.
3. Each coach should be entered in their own row. First Name, Last Name and Birthdate columns are mandatory. All other columns are optional and columns you do not intend to use can be removed.
4. If you would like to import coaches directly on to a team enter the team name under "Current Team". If the same team name is used throughout the site enter the league name and team name.
5. Once the file is updated select your "Birthdate" column and ensure that all of these dates are formatted consistently.
6. Save the file as a .csv (Comma delimited) file to your computer. (CSV Windows if using a Mac)
7. Go back to Master Menu - People Tab - Coach Import.
8. Click the "Choose File" button and browse your computer for the file.
9. Once uploaded you will need to match all of your columns.
10. Once your columns are matched then you will need to match your teams if you used the "Current Team" column.
11. Once complete your coaches will be added to the site and it will confirm how many coaches are added.
