2022-2023 Season Kickoff: MaxPreps/HUDL Data Sync

Football season is here! Minimize your stress by making sure your MaxPreps and HUDL are set up correctly.

Below are some of the most important things to look at to ensure you don't run into any data syncing issues during your season. 

Managing the Public Roster Feature in HUDL
In HUDL, the Public Roster is what will sync over to MaxPreps.

DO NOT MAKE ROSTER EDITS ON THE MAXPREPS END

One of the most common issues coaches encounter is spending time making edits in MaxPreps only to have them all be overwritten and reverted back to the information listed in HUDL. Make any roster edits (Name spelling, height/weight, positions, etc.) in HUDL to avoid this situation and they will sync to MaxPreps. 

To Manage your Public Roster in HUDL:
  1. On your HUDL team dashboard, hover over Team and select Manage Team.
  2. Select Public Roster, which is located in the top right section of the page.
  3. On the left-hand side of the page, make sure the current season is selected.
  4. For each athlete you would like to sync over to MaxPreps, select Yes. Any athletes that should not be displayed (Alumni, lower level teams, etc.) select No.
That's it! All athletes you have selected as Yes will continue to display on MaxPreps. Any athletes who are marked as No will be deleted from your roster on MaxPreps.

Any updates made on the Public Roster in HUDL will show in MaxPreps within 30 minutes to 1 hour

  1. In your Team Admin on MaxPreps, select Roster.
  2. In the Manage Roster section, click Sort/Filter.
