How Does SkillShark Compare to Paper Forms?

Setup Time- Paper forms mean hours spent printing, organizing, and handing out sheets before a single athlete is even scored. With SkillShark, templates are built once and shared with your whole evaluation team in minutes.

Scalability- A large-scale tryout means a mountain of forms to sort through afterward. With SkillShark, evaluating 2,000 athletes takes no more admin effort than evaluating 20.

Parent Communication- Typing out individual scores and comments via email can eat up your entire evening. SkillShark sends report cards with scores, averages, comments, and resources to athletes & parents.

Evaluator Consistency: SkillShark ensures that every evaluator uses the same digital template, keeping results consistent no matter who's scoring.

Quick Insights: Scores from paper forms have to be manually entered and tallied before coaches can identify top performers. SkillShark auto-generates rankings and comparison reports the moment evaluations are complete.

"In the past, we used pen & paper to evaluate athletes. This process was messy and made it so challenging to compile all the data. Now that we use SkillShark, we have streamlined everything, and immediately know who our top picks are for the upcoming season. "

Sports Organizations & Associations

Youth sports associations and multi-team organizations use SkillShark to standardize tryouts across every team. Rather than each team leveraging its own paper process, administrators can roll out one consistent evaluation system to score athletes, access post-tryout reports, and provide player feedback.

Parents & Athletes

While parents and athletes aren't the ones using SkillShark for scoring, they benefit directly from the app's feedback reports. Instead of vague, verbal feedback after a tryout, both parties receive individualized, digital report cards highlighting an athlete's strengths & weaknesses without any setup required from the coaches.

Our pricing plans start at just $5 per player. This plan gives you access to our digital scoring platform and basic reporting capabilities.

SkillShark is the top-rated youth sports tryout software, built for coaches by coaches. Its intuitive platform, advanced reporting, and 24/7 customer support are offered at an affordable price.

Paper-based tryouts typically take days to finalize, since coaches have to manually enter scores into Excel and set up reports to rank & compare players. With tryout software like SkillShark, that same process takes hours (not days). Scores sync automatically the moment they're entered and accurate reports are generated.
