There are two ways to add a real player: share an invite with someone you know, or approach a player who's already on Scouty. For someone who won't use the app, create a virtual player instead.
Inviting players is governed by the adding players squad rule: by default the coaches do it. See Roles and permissions.

Questions
Who can invite players?
Whoever handles players in your squad. By default that's the coaches (the manager and backroom staff); the admins can take it over in Squad rules.
The player doesn't have the app. What now?
Send them the invite link by email or a message app. They sign up from it. If they won't use Scouty at all, add them as a virtual player instead.
Can I invite a child?
Yes. A child's profile is managed by a parent, so the parent gets the invite and accepts or declines it for them.
