Create your free BenchApp team: Pick your sport, name your team, and you are in. No credit card and no trial clock. Managers can run as many teams as they like from one account. - 2. Bring your members across: You don't need your old Teamer members list. Share your team invite link in your WhatsApp group, a group text, or an email, and each player adds their own name, email, and phone number. Did you copy your members list before Teamer closed? Paste it into our roster template, upload it, and BenchApp builds the roster in one go. - 3. Rebuild your schedule: Upload the rest of your season from a CSV or Excel file, and every fixture copies in at once. You can also add games and practices one at a time. If your league publishes its own iCal, ICS, or WebCal feed, paste it into BenchApp's Sync Schedule screen, and PRO teams can keep syncing from it all season. - 4. Tell your players: Send the ready-made announcement below to your WhatsApp group, a group text, or an email. Once players accept the invite, availability, reminders, and payments carry on in BenchApp. - [Create your FREE team](https://preview-pr-1492.benchapp.com/create-team) - [Invite players with a link](https://help.benchapp.com/en/articles/4770459-how-do-i-invite-players-to-my-team) - [Import a roster from CSV or Excel](https://help.benchapp.com/en/articles/4770460-how-do-i-import-my-roster-from-csv-or-excel) - [Import a season from a spreadsheet](https://help.benchapp.com/en/articles/4770831-can-i-import-my-season-from-an-excel-or-csv-file) - [Sync your league calendar](https://help.benchapp.com/en/articles/7876954-sync-your-schedule-from-your-league) ## Everything you used on Teamer has a home here - Members list → Unlimited roster with player profiles, positions, and contact details (Free) - Events and fixtures → Games, practices, and events with locations, times, and calendar sync (Free) - Availability replies → Email RSVPs with automatic reminders and live attendance counts (Free) - Team messages → Team chat, private messages, and email broadcasts (Free) - Player payments → Payment tracking so you always know who has paid (Free) - Push notifications → Push and email alerts for every game day (Free) - Public team page → A public team website you can share with fans, family, and opponents (PRO) - Teamer Premium extras → No ads, text message RSVPs, broadcasts, and reminders, bulletins and polls, advanced finance tracking, and the live scorekeeper (PRO) ## Send this to your players A ready-to-send note for your players.

Its own FAQ said accounts and teams would stop being available on that date and that team and user data would no longer be accessible afterwards. - Can I still get my data out of Teamer? No. Teamer never had export tools for members or events, and it said team and user data would no longer be accessible after October 5, 2026. You don't need it to start again: share your BenchApp invite link and each player adds their own details, then upload your fixtures from a spreadsheet. If you copied your members list before Teamer closed, BenchApp can import that too. - Is BenchApp really free? Yes. The Free plan covers everything you used Teamer for: unlimited roster, scheduling, email RSVPs, team messaging, player stats, and payment tracking. PRO is $9 per month per team and adds no ads, text message RSVPs, broadcasts, and reminders, bulletins and polls, advanced finance tracking, and more. - Do my players have to pay or create accounts? Players never pay. They join from your invite link, download the free app for iPhone or Android or use BenchApp in a browser, and can RSVP and message straight away. - Does BenchApp support my sport? BenchApp supports hockey, roller hockey, ball hockey, street hockey, soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, ultimate, volleyball, lacrosse, pickleball, football, golf, and cycling. Teams in other sports use the closest match, and you can manage several teams from one account. - What about the Teamer Premium subscription I paid for? Teamer said it cancelled all Premium subscriptions during September 2026 so nobody was billed into October. For refunds or billing questions, contact Teamer directly. BenchApp has no setup fees, so there is nothing to pay to switch. Teamer did one job well: it kept a team's members, events, and availability in one place without much fuss. That is exactly what BenchApp is built for, with a few things Teamer never had. BenchApp is free for every team. RSVPs go out automatically and chase the people who have not replied. Payments are tracked next to the roster, so you stop being the team's accountant. Team chat, polls, and bulletins keep the conversation in one thread instead of three group chats. Switching is quick. Create your team, share the invite link, and your players are back to replying to fixtures within minutes. Everything you set up stays on the Free plan for as long as you want it.
