New Season Team Maintenance

As a new season rolls around, here are the recommended steps to get sidelineHD ready! 

In most cases, we recommend creating a new team for each season, but the decision is ultimately a matter of personal preference. 

Once you create your team, you can use the roster rollover tool, to bring player(s) over from a previous team(s) that you managed. Transferred players (if claimed) will have clips from ALL their teams on single player page. 


Create a new team or keep existing one:


Keep your existing team if: 

  • You are staying with the same organization
  • You have a small number of changes, such as adding a new player

Create a new team if:

  • You have changed organizations or want to make significant changes to your team name or handle
  • You are removing multiple players or coaches
  • iScore users should create new teams if they need to make multiple changes (such as swapping player jersey numbers, adding/removing several players
  • If you are using iScore and have mismatched players on screen, start with a clean slate by creating a new team

        • If you have had this player on a previous team you manage, we suggest rollover their profile to avoid creating duplicate profiles.
  5. Fill out the player information
    1. First Name
    2. Last Name
    3. Jersey Number (optional)
    4. Invite Player Manager (optional)
      • We suggest inviting a parent or guardian to manage the player. You can always invite Player Managers once the player is created.

SLHD TIP, iScore users:

If you are an iScore user, enter the new player in iScore first, then perform a roster-resync AFTER adding new players to iScore. This transfers new players from iScore to your sidelineHD roster.

SLHD TIP:  Deactivation vs Delete:

  • Team managers can DEACTIVATE former players.  
  • DEACTIVATED players are no longer members of the team community and will be hidden from team and public pages. Past highlights will remain available on their players page. 
  • They will not have access to play-by-play game summaries. 
  • If a player is unclaimed, they may be DELETED
  • DELETED players will have all of their clips permanently deleted. 
  • Note that deleting a player PERMANENTLY DELETES any highlight clips for that player.
  • In most cases it is better to DEACTIVATE a player. 
  • Deactivated players will be hidden from team and public pages. 

Reactivate Players From Your Deactivated List

  1. Login to your sidelineHD Account
  2. Select your Team Card
  3. Select the Roster Tab
  4. Select the Show Deactivated button.
  5. Select Pencil Icon next to the player to reactivate
  6. Select Reactivate this player 
    • The player is now on your active roster
