SkillShark vs. Evaluation Forms

Save time, reduce admin overload, and improve athlete feedback by using SkillShark for athlete evaluations instead of traditional paper forms.

SkillShark	Evaluation Forms
Quick set up- Customize your evaluation template, import players, invite evaluators, and begin scoring from any mobile device in minutes.	Time-consuming- After tryouts, coaches must collect paper forms from each evaluator and manually transfer each score onto spreadsheets.
Auto-generated reports- Looking to view player rankings or compare players? Once evaluation data is entered, SkillShark automatically generates reports that are ready for immediate review.	Extensive admin work- Once all scores are transferred from forms onto spreadsheets, the work doesn’t stop. Coaches often spend hours compiling relevant reports to derive player insights.
Instant report cards- Players (and their parents) can receive a personalized report card after any evaluation. Report cards include scores, team averages, comments, and videos.	Lack of athlete feedback- Coaching notes often get buried in paper evaluation forms and become overlooked. As a result, providing athlete feedback is often delayed or deprioritized.
