Editing Athlete Info

In order to take full advantage of the Athletic.net roster capabilities, you'll need to edit and customize athlete data. In this article, we'll show you how to edit basic athlete data, customize what data gets collected, and edit contact details for each athlete.

To access your team's roster, navigate to your team's homepage by clicking on the Menu Icon () in the top left corner, and then clicking on your team's name. Then click on  Manage Team in the top menu bar, and then Athletes.

Ensure that the sport and the year are both correct. If you're working on a different sport or season from what's listed, use the drop-down arrows to select the correct season or sport in the top-right corner. Once those are correct, you can see the roster for this season and sport as it currently stands.

Basic Athlete Data

In order to edit an athlete's basic information, simply click on the athlete's name from the main roster screen. This will bring up a pop-out window with the athlete's information.

This window shows the minimum information necessary for a complete Athletic.net athlete record. This information is:

• First Name
• Last Name
• Gender
• Grade
• Team (this is dictated by the roster currently being edited)

Making sure this information is present and up-to-date will ensure that meet results are properly reflected in an athlete's performance history. Other information listed here, such as T-Shirt Size, may be useful to the coach, but is not necessary.

Clicking on any of the Active Seasons years will deactivate the athlete from that particular season. Clicking Done will save any changes and return you to the roster screen. Previous and Next will save any changes and take you directly to the previous or next athlete in the list for quick editing.

Date of Birth

Watch a 53 second video on entering an athlete's date of birth:

If you're going to use Athletic.net to register for meets that have divisions by age, rather than grade, it's very important to make sure the athlete's date of birth is entered. Athletic.net will use the athlete's date of birth to ensure that the athlete is entered into the correct meet division.

To enter an athlete's date of birth, click on Not Set next to DOB in the Edit Info window.

From the calendar that appears, select the correct birth year, then the month and day.

Once you've selected the correct date, the date of birth entered will appear in the Edit Info window. If you made an error, click on the date to re-open the calendar and correct it.

Customizable Fields

Athletic.net has the capability to store custom, user-defined information about each athlete on your roster. In the Edit Info window, the General tab contains a number of fields that can be customized by clicking Edit Custom Fields at the bottom of the window. This will allow you to set information that you'd like to record about each athlete via checkboxes, text fields, and other information. You can display the status of these custom fields using the Customizable Column Header in the main roster screen.

Email History

The Email History tab shows a history of all emails sent to this particular athlete using the Athletic.net communication system. You can see the contents of the email, the subject line, and the recipients.
