# HuddleUp Team Management for Coaches

> How coaches manage team rosters, add players via invite codes, approve registrations, configure player limits, and manage team settings in HuddleUp Sports.

As a coach, your team page is your command center for managing players, parents, and team details.

## Viewing Your Roster

Your roster shows all players on the team along with their parent/guardian contact info. Access it from the **Teams** tab.

Each player on the roster shows their status:

* **Active** — Approved and on the roster
* **Pending** — Parent registered, awaiting your approval
* **Inactive** — Removed from the active roster but not deleted

## Adding Players to Your Team

There are two ways to add players:

1. **Invite codes** — Generate an invite code and share it with parents. They enter the code in their app to join. See [Invite Codes](/docs/leagues/invite-codes).
2. **Direct add** — Add a player manually from your team settings.

## Approving Player Registrations

When parents register their children through an invite code or online registration, you may need to approve them:

1. Go to your **Team** page
2. Look for players with a **Pending** badge
3. Review the player details
4. Tap **Approve** to add them to the active roster, or **Decline** to reject the registration

Once approved, the family gains access to the team calendar, events, and chat.

## Player Limits

You can set a maximum roster size for each team to prevent over-enrollment:

* Set the limit when creating the team or in team settings
* Once a team reaches its limit, new registrations are blocked
* You can adjust the limit at any time

## Team Members

Each team can have:

* **Players** — The athletes
* **Coaches** — Can manage events, rosters, and messaging
* **Parents/Guardians** — Linked to players, receive notifications and updates

## Team Settings

From your team page, you can:

* Edit the team name and sport
* View and manage the full roster
* Generate and manage [invite codes](/docs/leagues/invite-codes)
* Toggle [team messaging](/docs/coaches/messaging) on or off
* Set player limits

## Player Privacy

HuddleUp is built with player privacy in mind. The app collects only birth month and year — never an exact birth date. This gives you age-appropriate grouping for league divisions without exposing full personal information.
