Player Management

Add and manage player profiles with detailed information. Track individual performance and statistics throughout the season.

1. Navigate to the Players tab
2. Tap the + button
3. Fill in player details:
   • Name — First and last name
   • Jersey Number — Player's shirt number
   • Position — Primary playing position
   • Grade — Grade level (optional)
   • Nickname — Optional display name for Touchline mode (e.g., “Gooby”)
   • Goalkeeper — Toggle on for goalkeepers
4. Tap Save to add the player to your roster

Set an optional nickname for any player. When set, the nickname displays in Touchline mode instead of the auto-abbreviated name (e.g., “Gooby” instead of “G. Smith”).

1. Tap a player to open their profile
2. Tap Edit
3. Enter a Nickname
4. Tap Save

If no nickname is set, GoldenBoot uses smart abbreviation with automatic disambiguation when players share similar names.

You can import multiple players at once from a CSV or text file:

1. Go to Settings → Import Players
2. Select your file or paste a list
3. GoldenBoot will parse names and jersey numbers automatically
4. Review and confirm the import

See Player Import Guide for formatting details.

Tap any player to view their detailed profile:

Tags help you organize players into groups:

1. Tap a player to open their profile
2. Tap Edit to assign tags
3. Create custom tags like “Starting XI”, “Captain”, “U15”, “Defenders”
4. Tags display as colored badges on player cards
