Simplifying Team Management with Bulk Add Players

Tired of manually adding each player to your team roster? Say goodbye to the tedious process of entering individual player information and hello to our new Bulk Add Players feature! This feature allows you to quickly and easily add multiple existing players to your team roster at once, saving you valuable time and effort.

Benefits of Bulk Add Players:

  1. Save time and streamline roster creation: Add multiple players simultaneously, eliminating repetitive data entry.

  2. Reduce errors: Minimize the risk of typos and incorrect information by leveraging existing player data.

  3. Simplified validation: The system automatically validates player information against team and class requirements, ensuring roster accuracy.

Accessing the Feature:

  1. Log in to your Director Center account (https://dc.usssa.com/)

  2. Navigate to Team Management and select "Impersonate - Team Manager"

  3. Search for the Team and select the one you would like to add to.

  4. Navigate to the Team Management page.

  5. Select the desired team from the list of your teams.

  6. Click on "Manage My Players".

  7. Choose the "Search by PlayerID" option.

How to Bulk Add Players:

  1. Gather Player IDs: You can obtain Player IDs from:

    • Registration Output: Check the registration output spreadsheet provided to you.

    • Player Search: Utilize the Player Search feature on the USSSA website's homepage to find individual players and their corresponding IDs.

  2. Enter Player IDs:

    • In the "Search by PlayerID" section, paste the list of Player IDs, separated by commas.

    • Example: 12345, 67890, 111213, 141516, 171819

  1. Initiate Search: Click the "Search" button.

  2. Review and Add:

    • The system will display a list of players matching the entered IDs, indicating their eligibility based on team and class requirements.

    • For each eligible player, you'll see an "Add Player" button next to their name.

  3. Add to Roster:

    • Click "Add Player" for each eligible player you wish to add to the roster.

    • You can add players individually or select multiple players at once.

  4. Refresh Eligible Players:

    • If you need to refresh the list of eligible players, click the "Refresh eligible players" button. This allows you to stay on the same page without navigating away, adding convenience to your workflow.

  5. Confirm Additions:

    • The system may take a moment to process the additions. If it seems slow, please be patient.

    • Once processed, you'll see the newly added players in your roster list.

Important Notes:

  • The system will notify you if a player is ineligible for the team, providing the reason for ineligibility.

  • All newly added players will have a "Pending Approval" status. Parents/Guardians will need to approve their child's roster addition before the player is officially added to the team.

  • You can edit player details after adding them to the roster, including name, phone number, position, graduation year, bat/throw preferences, uniform number, hometown, and high school.

Troubleshooting:

  • If you encounter any issues, such as players not appearing immediately after adding them, try refreshing the page or waiting a moment before checking again.

  • If problems persist, please contact our support team for assistance.

This new feature is designed to make your life easier! For any questions or assistance, please reach out to our support team.
