# How do I invite a player who is already on my roster?

## Step-by-step guide to sending an invite to a Not Invited player.

If a player is on your roster with a **Not Invited** status, you can send them an invite without retyping their details. Their name, jersey number, and positions are already filled in for you. A player under 13 cannot be invited, because players under 13 never get their own account. Their row shows **Add parent** instead of **Not Invited**, so select **Add parent** and add their parent. See "[How do I add a player who is under 13?](https://knowledge.footballplaycard.com/how-do-i-add-a-player-under-13?hsLang=en)"

**How do I send the invite?**

1. Select **My Team**, then the **Roster** tab.
2. Find the player with the **Not Invited** status.
3. Select the **Not Invited** pill on their row, or open the overflow menu on that row and select **Invite**.
4. The **Add Player** window opens with their details already filled in.
5. Add an email address and send the invite.

The player's status changes to **Pending** until they accept. If your team does not have an age yet, the invite is refused until it is set. On the Roster tab, select the age next to **Team age:** (it reads **Not set**) and choose **Under 13**, **13-18** or **18+**. Only the head coach can do this. See "[What is team age, and how do I set it?](https://knowledge.footballplaycard.com/what-is-team-age?hsLang=en)"

**Frequently Asked Questions**

**Why does selecting the row not open the invite?**

- Selecting a player's row opens the edit drawer, where you change their jersey number and positions. To send an invite, use the **Not Invited** pill or the overflow menu on that row.

**Will the player keep their jersey number and positions?**

- Yes. Everything you set while they were **Not Invited** carries over to their account when they accept.

**Will their depth chart spot carry over?**

- Yes. A player keeps their depth chart position as they move from Not Invited to Pending to Active.

**What if I do not have the player's email address yet?**

- Leave them as **Not Invited**. They stay on your roster and in your depth chart, and you can invite them whenever you get the address.
