Tryouts: Score players on fundamentals such as serves, dinks, and volleys.
Baseline assessments: Providing an early evaluation helps identify players' strengths, weaknesses, and development goals for the upcoming season.
Mid-season check-ins: Use this as a halfway point to re-evaluate players. Track improvement, modify positioning, and adjust practices to focus on specific skill gaps (i.e., reaction time or shot selection).
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 players. 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 players and skills, and you're done.
