Import Coaches from the Teams Page

This article shows how to import coaches from the Teams page. This is useful when your registration export includes coach names, emails, roles, and team names.

Before you start

• Open the season and division you want to work in.
• Export your coach or volunteer list as a CSV.
• Include first name, last name, role, email, and team when those fields are available.

Import coaches

1. Open Teams from the main navigation.
2. Above the teams table, click Import Coaches.
3. In the Import volunteers dialog, use the upload area labeled Drop file here or click to upload.
4. Select your CSV file.
5. Review the column matching step. Make sure coach names, email addresses, roles, divisions, and team names are connected to the right Bravara fields when those columns are in your file.
6. Click Next.
7. If Bravara shows possible guardian or person matches, review the matches and click Next.
8. Review the import preview, then click Start importing.
9. When the import finishes, click Close.

What Bravara can do with coach imports

• Bravara imports coaches as volunteers and uses Head Coach as the starting role when you launch the import from Teams.
• If your CSV includes a different role, connect that role column during column matching.
• If your CSV includes team names, Bravara can connect coaches to teams during the import.
• If your CSV does not include teams, you can add coaches to teams later from Teams or Volunteers.

Examples

• If your registration export lists one coach per team, import it from Teams so each coach can be connected to the team they coach.
• If your league collects assistant coaches later, import the updated CSV again. Bravara skips unchanged coach assignments and adds the new ones.
