In the past, we used pen & paper to evaluate athletes. This process was messy and made it so challenging to compile all the data. Now that we use SkillShark, we have streamlined everything, and immediately know who our top picks are for the upcoming season.

The platform itself is incredibly simple for the administrators and evaluators. The app makes it extremely easy for us to track athletes across the country. We now have a professionally managed database of all our athletes. Not only do we strongly believe in the product, we believe in the people who are standing behind it. We will be SkillShark users for life.

SkillShark is an essential tool for all youth sport organizations to take advantage of. As coaches, it is our job to provide both reinforcing and constructive comments to young athletes. SkillShark has helped immensely with our player development and provides a superior solution to our program.
Bill Edwards
Hofstra Head Coach
-
What we like best about SkillShark is being able to provide instant feedback. Before SkillShark we used the old-school method of pen and paper. Now using SkillShark we can view results right after the evaluation is complete. We wouldn’t be without it.
Derek Bloski
SHA Hockey Coach
-
We have 1000 kids, 87 different sessions, and close to 100 hours of evaluations that take place. I wouldn’t even be able to calculate the time SkillShark has saved us. Evaluators find it easy, coaches are happy, and I now have concrete data that I can show a parent if questions come up. It’s a great program.
James Mays
Technical Director, PA Minor Hockey
-
We’ve evaluated approximately 1200 players this season. Data entry usually took us eight hours a day, for fifteen consecutive days. With the volume of athletes that we need to process in one event, SkillShark has probably saved me about 120 hours overall.
