"It honestly couldn’t have been easier to use SkillShark- it took us under ten minutes to get over 1200 kids set up in the program. We really couldn’t be happier with the team at SkillShark and the service they provided. "

Riley Burns

Executive Director — Regina Community Basketball Association

"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

"The beauty is in the print. One of my kids was recently at a fastball showcase ID camp where SkillShark was used for the evaluations. A few days after the camp I received an email from the camp that detailed her performance. Clean and specific. High, low and average fastball and off-speed velocity and her ranking to the group of 60 plus players."

Danny Demchanko

Fastball Parent

"SkillShark has significantly streamlined our processes, helping save time with data collection while providing instant athlete report cards after each session. SkillShark is hugely beneficial for our athlete development, as we can easily track their progress and identify areas for growth."

Phil Jevtovic

Senior Manager - Canada Basketball

"SkillShark has made tryouts for our baseball club so much easier. It is user friendly and the customer service has been TOP NOTCH!!"

Jill Blake Sutherland

Head Baseball 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."

Technical Director, PA Minor Hockey

Tryouts: Score athletes on fundamentals such as striking technique, grappling ability, and reaction speed.
Baseline assessments: Providing an early evaluation helps identify athletes' strengths, weaknesses, and development goals for the upcoming season.
Mid-season check-ins: Use this as a halfway point to re-evaluate athletes. Track improvement, modify positioning, and adjust practices to focus on specific skill gaps (i.e., striking accuracy or defensive technique).
Year-end evaluations: Track player development throughout the season to provide detailed and actionable feedback.

SkillShark offers an unlimited free version of the app for your first 25 athletes. The free version includes:

Create one evaluation event
Invite up to two evaluators
Customize your coaching template
Access player rankings post-evaluation
Send customizable player report cards

After evaluations, coaches are left manually transferring scores from paper to spreadsheets: one entry at a time. It’s tedious and time-consuming, and a single mistyped or missing score can skew the integrity of your results. And after all that, you still have to build the reports from scratch to begin analyzing player performance.

With SkillShark, instantly access auto-generated reports the moment your evaluations wrap up. SkillShark's advanced reporting lets you rank and compare athletes, draft balanced teams, and deliver personalized feedback through individual report cards. No data entry, no report set up. Simply choose the report, select your athletes and skills, and you're done.
