Note: Trial users will only have the ability to create one event.
Step 2: Select players to score
Select which players to evaluate.
You can select “All Players” or you can filter by players lists (players segmented by age, region, and position).
Step 3: Select skills
As evaluators oftentimes will only be assessing players on a small number of skills, they can select which skill (i.e., passing, skating, or shooting in the above example) to evaluate.
Step 4: Enter scores
Evaluators can use the slider or manually enter scores in the text box.
Once they are done evaluating that player, they will click on the bottom right button to move to the next player.
If they want to take a video, they will tap the video icon to film and attach it. If they want to add a comment, they will click the text box to add a pre-filled comment.

Head Coach – Water Polo Canada
SkillShark has been a highly effective tool for myself and coaching staff to help pick our U14AA Ringette Team. The accuracy through SkillShark could never be achieved by our old school ways of pen and paper. I would highly recommend SkillShark for your next evaluation process
Gary Banerd
Head 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.

FAQ — Scoring Players
What device can I use to score players?
Downloads the SkillShark app on any iOS or Android device. Score players easily from your phone or tablet.
What are the benefits of creating player lists?
If you are hosting tryouts that span multiple days (and multiple age groups), create a player lists for each age group. Then, on the day of the evaluation, select players by filtering through pre-defined lists.
How can multiple evaluators score players?
You will likely have one evaluator per station (i.e., one evaluator to assess passing, skating, shooting etc..).
Once your evaluator has downloaded the app and selected the event they will be scoring, they can select which skill(s) they will be evaluating. Therefore, they will only have to worry about scoring the specified skill for all players.
Can I see my scoring progress?
Yes! At any time, you can view scoring progress by player. After opening the left-hand navigation bar, will a red bar identifying scoring progress. If the bar is green, that means players have been scored on the selected skills. If the bar is blank or half green, that means players have not been scored on all (or some) skills.
How do I add comments?
You can either choose to add pre-filled comments or use the voice-to-text feature to quickly add in a comment.
What happens once scoring is completed?
Once all evaluators scores are completed, there is no need for them to do anything else! Data will be available in a variety of pre-generated reports for coaches to view upon completion of an evaluation.
How do I navigate between players?
