Player photos are optional but help you quickly identify players during match recording. When uploading photos:

  • Images must be smaller than 2MB
  • Photos are automatically compressed and resized to 400px width for optimal performance
  • Supported formats: JPG, PNG, and other standard image formats

Step 3: Manage Your Roster

After adding players, you can view and manage your complete roster:

  • View Players: Your roster displays sorted by jersey number

  • Player Codes: Each player automatically receives a unique share code when added, which can be shared with parents, so parents can monitor and track their player's stats.
