If a college athlete transfers to your program, make sure the athlete is associated with the correct team without creating an unnecessary duplicate athlete record.

Before adding the athlete

Check whether the athlete already has a DirectAthletics or TFRRS record from their previous school.

Review:

• Athlete name
• Previous school
• New school
• Existing athlete profile
• Class year

If an existing record belongs to the athlete, use the transfer process rather than creating another athlete with the same identity.

Add the transfer athlete

Log in to your DirectAthletics coach account and open your team roster.

Use the available roster or transfer-athlete workflow to associate the athlete with your team.

Enter the athlete's information carefully and preserve the existing athlete record when possible.

If you cannot add the transfer athlete

Contact DirectAthletics Support and include:

• Athlete name
• Previous school
• New school
• Class year
• Existing TFRRS athlete profile, if available

This information can help identify the existing athlete and avoid creating a duplicate record.
