"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."

James Mays

Technical Director, PA Minor Hockey

"The platform itself is incredibly simple for the administrators and evaluators. The app makes it extremely easy for us to track athletes across the country. We now have a professionally managed database of all our athletes. Not only do we strongly believe in the product, we believe in the people who are standing behind it. We will be SkillShark users for life."

Andrew Muir

Head Coach - Water Polo Canada

"The software was super easy to learn. I was able to explain to the team how to use it in just under 20 minutes. Everything about SkillShark is super efficient and useful. This program is of such great use for our industry. We needed something like this a long time ago."

Farida Salem

Founder of Empower Football

"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

"We’ve evaluated approximately 1200 players this season. Data entry usually took us eight hours a day, for fifteen consecutive days. With the volume of athletes that we need to process in one event, SkillShark has probably saved me about 120 hours overall."

Jordan Draeger

Owner & Operator — Going Yard Baseball

"SkillShark was easy to use on our smartphone or tablet, very simple to train our evaluators, and we really liked how parents had their kid's results as soon as they stepped off the ice."

Hockey Director, Chicago

Frequently Asked Questions - Rugby Evaluation App

SkillShark is a top-rated app for rugby tryouts and year-round evaluations, letting coaches score athletes digitally and generate instant player rankings and report cards. Top features include:

Tryouts: Score players on fundamentals such as tackling, ball handling, and defense to make fair roster decisions.
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., kicking accuracy and tackling 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 players. The free version includes:

Create one evaluation event
Invite up to two evaluators
Customize your coaching template

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.
