Amazing Sports App!!

The overall experience with Skillshark it is simply one of the best sporting apps I've used. It's completely helped with my basketball academy.

PROS

The most important thing I like is the fact that I can evaluate my player properly and effectively. This brings a ease of mind to me as a coach and parents. The flow of the software is very simple with a clean look and feel. It has everything you need to operate your sporting event. This was extremely helpful for me. I am a busy coach and don't want the hassle of trying to figure out how to navigate though a specific sport software. You can tell it was designed with care from a sports minded individual. My favorite feature is the ability to log video. this comes extremely handy for parents. I'm looking forward to trying the live evaluations!

CONS

I don't think this software has any cons but it would be cool to have a part where video can be edited to get exact breakdowns of an athlete and their progress.

Reason for choosing SkillShark

I chose SkillShark over the competitors because of the folks who put it together. They know their stuff when it comes to the needs of organizations, athletes and parents. They are there to answer any and all questions and I like knowing that they put in real time and research to create a beautiful product that has helped my business tremendously and so many others.

Skillshark is a great tool for evaluating players.

My overall experience with Skillshark is positive.

PROS

I really like the reporting and the way each player ranks in the mix of all of the other players. It also helps that players can be ranked based on weighted reports for particular skills such as batting power or outfield skills. Another feature that I like and players/parents like is the report that can be emailed to the parent/player after the evaluation.

CONS

I really wish there was a way for players to register directly in Skillshark for tryouts so that player info was ready at start of tryouts.

Hockey evaluation

PROS

Ease of use and the ability to assign a value to each individual skill

CONS

A bit clunky in switching from player to player

Vendor Response

Hi Lyle, thank you for your review! We appreciate you giving us a 10/10 in likeliness to recommend! That's excellent. You mentioned some clunkiness switching from player to player. Have you tried our Lightning view by chance? It allows you to evaluate all your players, and or select player lists on one screen. We just launched this 6 months ago. If you have some time I'd love to show you. Feel free to send us an email so we can show you the new updates! info@skillshark.com Thank you for your support Lyle! We appreciate you very much.

Use Skill Shark for Player Evaluations at a Combine

A great tool for evaluating a Scouting Combine.

PROS

The best features of the software are the great looking Individual Reports, Weighted Reports and Comparison Reports. The direct entry on the mobile App eliminates the need for pen and paper. The customer support was fantastic, Adam H walked me through the data entry and report generation.

CONS

Navigating through the system at first was pretty challenging, but customer support was always a click away and my proficiency improved quickly. The spider-graph will only allow 8 metrics per athlete, you could run a separate report if there were more than 8 categories. The Strengths-Weaknesses Comparison Report will only allow 3 athletes to compare, if you have more than 3 players at a specific position you need to run multiple reports. These limitations can be overcome, hopefully the developers increase the maximum fields per report.

Going Yard Review

Working with the Skillshark team has been great and we will continue to work with the team and the software.

PROS

It is easy to use and change. The software is very flexible and accounts for all of the challenges you could face in a day completing an evaluation procedure.

CONS

None right now. We had experienced challenges having to back out of evaluations in the past to fix bib number / colouring issues and improper template. But the software has since been fixed and works great now. I don’t have any complaints.
