Why SkillShark?

1. Improved Accuracy

Pen-and-paper evaluations bring human error; scores get misentered, or even worse, not entered at all. With SkillShark, directly enter data with any mobile device (scores, comments, etc). Data is safely stored until ready for post-evaluation review.

2. Instant Player Feedback

SkillShark generates player report cards, complete with scores, team averages, comments, and videos. Athletes & parents are provided with detailed feedback immediately after an evaluation: no wait time required.

3. Auto-generated Reports

Traditional evaluation techniques make comparing & ranking players extremely difficult, as intermediate Excel knowledge is needed to generate and format reports.

With SkillShark’s advanced reporting features, coaches can:

Directly compare players across their strengths & weaknesses.
View a ranking tier of athletes of any metric, skill, or category.
Monitor player development over a series of evaluations.

4. Time Savings

Auto-generated player reports negate the need for manual data entry and report configuration. Free up your time to focus on formulating practice drills, developing game strategies, and improving player development.

5. Complete Customization

Regardless of your organization's size, sport, and specific needs, SkillShark offers a fully customizable solution:

Evaluation template: Select the specific skills, metrics, and scoring scales that match your coaching recipe.
Player lists: Sort players by age, division, and position to streamline navigation and scoring during evaluations.
Reporting: Choose how you want to view player data, from ranking grids to comparison graphs or progression charts.

6. 24/7 Support

We know evaluations run evenings & weekends, so our team is dedicated to providing the support you need for set up, troubleshooting, or any last-minute questions that come up.

7. 10+ Years of Industry Experience

SkillShark was built for coaches, by coaches. CEO and Founder Neil Anderson, a U18 softball coach, set out to create a better solution after growing frustrated with the time-consuming and unreliable pen-and-paper system.

"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."
