What you can migrate first

Start with high-impact operational data, then expand into deeper workflows.

Roster

Players and jersey numbers

Move your roster structure first so coaches and parents can start in CoachBall quickly.

People

Staff and parent invites

Recreate role-based access for coaches, assistants, and parents with clear permissions.

Schedule

Games and calendar

Import your game schedule from CSV so teams can continue with familiar weekly rhythms.

Workflow

Availability and lineup setup

Connect attendance and lineup generation to game-day prep immediately after import.

Development

Recruiting profile rollout

Enable shareable player profiles after your operational foundation is stable.

Media

Manual media transfer (optional)

Move essential team photos and key assets manually if they are needed in your new workflow.

Step-by-step migration flow

A phased ETL-style process aligned with real coach operations.

Step 1

Scope and prep your migration

Define which teams, seasons, and user roles move first. Keep a backup of all source exports before changes.

Step 2

Export from GameChanger

Collect available CSV/XML exports for roster, schedule, and stats where possible. Note any fields that require manual capture.

Step 3

Map and transform your fields

Normalize naming, date formats, and role mappings so GameChanger columns match CoachBall import structure.

Step 4

Import into CoachBall in phases

Start with one pilot team: roster first, then schedule, then invitations and lineup workflow settings.

Step 5

Validate data and permissions

Check player counts, game totals, and role access. Spot-check key records before full rollout.

Step 6

Roll out, monitor, and optimize

Scale to more teams once the pilot is stable. Keep a short feedback loop for coaches and parents.

Run in parallel during transition

Most teams do not switch everything in one day.

  • Keep familiar scorekeeping behavior while moving team operations to CoachBall.
  • Communicate one clear cutoff date per workflow so parents know what changes when.
  • Use a pilot team first, then copy the rollout pattern to the rest of your organization.
Important migration note
GameChanger does not expose every dataset via a public API. Plan for a mixed migration model: exports where available, plus manual validation and selective manual transfer.
