Set up roster roles

Define the roles your people hold — Players, Coaches, Staff, Referees — and drag them into the order team pages show them.

On this page

Roster roles live in Studio → Taxonomy → Roster Positions. On an athlete’s form they’re offered as Position. A team page shows one carousel per role, in the order you set here, so a club can show Players first and Coaches underneath. The screen needs the same Taxonomy permission as Genres, and appears only when Is platform sport is on.

How roles shape a team page

  • Each role gets its own row on the team page, labelled with the role name.
  • Rows follow your drag order on the Roster Positions screen.
  • Athletes with no role are gathered into one general row at the end.
  • Each athlete holds one role, which applies on every team they belong to.
