Importing Evaluators in SkillShark: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Check Excel Spreadsheet

• Make sure there are no locked cells (cells that are merged over multiple columns) and no empty columns with missing data.
• Ensure that the general category a kid is trying out for is identified on the spreadsheet. For example, in hockey, ensure that a checkmark is beside “Goalie” or “Positional” on your spreadsheet.
• Note: If you have athletes in different time trials due to limited space on the ice, court, or field (i.e., U13 Group 1, U13 Group 2 etc..), ensure this information is filled out on your spreadsheet. SkillShark will then automatically tie these time trial lists to player lists.

Step 2: Navigate to Import Players

• Navigate to the “Manage Players” tab on the left-hand navigation menu.
• Click on “Import Players.”
• Select the spreadsheet within your computer files and click “Upload.”

Step 3: Check Data Mapping

• Any column that SkillShark understands what you are describing will be identified with a green check mark. I.e., Bib number, jersey colour, primary position etc..
• Any columns without a green checkmark can be checked off manually.
  • For example, the system might not recognize what the “Positional” column is because this is a custom field (one that is created & customized in your evaluation template). However, you can manually use the drop-down menu to check this field (as seen above).
