How to Manage Your Rec League Team: Roster, Attendance & Settings

Your team is the hub of everything in Rosterlytic. This guide covers everything you need to know about managing your roster, configuring your team settings, and keeping your players in the loop.

Managing your roster

Adding players

Staff (captain, coach, or manager) can add players to the team at any time:

1. Go to the Players screen
2. Tap the + button
3. Fill in the player's details:
   • Name (required, up to 30 characters)
   • Email (optional — useful if they'll be creating an account)
   • Jersey Number (optional)
4. Tap Save

The player is immediately added to your team roster.

Editing players

Need to update a jersey number or fix a name? Tap on any player in the roster, then tap Edit. You can update their name, email, and jersey number.

On mobile, the Edit Player screen also includes a Team Role picker for setting a teammate to Captain, Coach, Manager, or Player, plus a cosmetic Team Captain title you can switch on for any player (handy for youth teams that rotate the "C") — the title is display-only and grants no extra access. See the staff roles guide for the full rundown.

Removing players

Staff (captain, coach, or manager) can remove players from the roster. Note that removing a player doesn't delete their historical stats — those are preserved for the team's records.

Season rosters

Your team roster and your season roster are two different things. The team roster is everyone who's ever been on your team. The season roster controls who's eligible for a specific season.

This matters because:

• A player might join mid-season and shouldn't appear in stats entry for earlier games
• A player might sit out a season but still be on the team
• Your roster might change between Fall and Spring seasons

To manage a season roster:

1. Go to Season Management
2. Select the season
3. Tap Manage Roster
4. Add or remove players as needed

Only players on the season roster will show up when you enter stats for games in that season.

Team settings

Tap the gear icon on your team dashboard to access settings. Here's what you can configure:

Join code

Every team has a unique join code that players use to join. You can:

• Copy the code to your clipboard and paste it in a text or email
• Regenerate the code if you want to invalidate the old one (useful if it's been shared too widely)

Notification preferences

Control what notifications your team members receive:

• Game Updates — Notifications when games are created, edited, or scores are posted
• Team Chat — Notifications for new messages in the team chat

Each team member can also individually toggle these from their own settings.

Stat tracking configuration

Staff (captain, coach, or manager) can enable or disable specific stat categories for their sport. For example, a hockey team might want to track goals, assists, and plus/minus but skip tracking penalty minutes. This controls which stat columns appear when entering game stats.

Private stats

Staff can flip a Private stats switch in team settings. When it's on, individual player stats, position grades, streaks, and chemistry are visible only to staff and to each member's own player — team scores, standings, and schedule stay public to everyone. It's especially useful for youth teams. See the private stats guide for exactly who sees what.

Files & Links

Each team has a Files & Links area for sharing documents and links — waivers, schedule PDFs, registration forms, and the like. Staff can add and remove items; everyone on the team can open them. See the files and links guide for the full walkthrough.

Team ownership transfer

The team creator has a special level of control — they're the only one who can delete the team. If the original creator needs to hand off the team:

1. Go to Team Settings
2. Under Team Ownership, tap Transfer Ownership
3. Select the new owner from the list of captains

After transfer, the new owner gains full control including the ability to delete the team.

Danger zone

At the bottom of settings, you'll find:

• Leave Team — Remove yourself from the team. A team must always keep at least one staff member, so if you're the only captain, coach, or manager, you'll need to give someone else a staff role first.
• Delete Team — Permanently removes the team and all associated data (games, stats, chat history). Only the team creator can do this. This cannot be undone.

Tracking attendance

Attendance tracking helps you know who's showing up and plan accordingly.

How it works

When a game is created, every player on the roster can RSVP:

• Yes — They're coming
• No — They can't make it
• Maybe — They're not sure yet

Staff (captain, coach, or manager) can also mark attendance on behalf of players.

Nudging players

Haven't heard back from some players? On the game details screen, tap Nudge to send a push notification reminder to players who haven't RSVP'd yet.

Attendance stats

Rosterlytic automatically tracks attendance rates over time. On any player's profile, you'll see:

• Their overall attendance percentage
• A reliability badge (Ironman, Reliable, Unpredictable, or Wildcard)
• Their last 5 games attendance trend
• A full game-by-game attendance history

This data helps captains make lineup decisions and identify who they can count on. For a deeper look at attendance workflows, see our guide on tracking team attendance.

Tips

• Keep your roster current — Remove players who've left the team so they don't clutter your stats entry screens
• Use season rosters — They keep your stats clean and make it easy to track who was actually active each season
• Share your join code early — The sooner players join, the sooner they can RSVP and participate in team chat
