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.

Skill Shark Evaluations Add Major Value To Our Program

Overall, I'm very pleased with the software!

PROS

The software is easy to use and provides coaches with visual reports that are easily covered/relayed with our players. The system allows us to track player progress over time. We preach process over outcome and this system allows us to show our players where they are improving and helps them get from where they are to where they want to be!

CONS

Some of the printable forms are little basic and could use a little more color.

Evaluation leader boards will inspire your players

Being able to show your players live leaderboards of every metric you collect from them inspires each of them to work harder and ignites their competitive side to push themselves further than they have previously.

PROS

Their app for adding the data makes data collection so easy and so fast. No more struggling with excel to create graphs etc its all done for you

CONS

Not found one yet, if I was having to be over-critical maybe more admin features to be accessible from within their app rather than only being able to use the app for data entry. Not a deal-breaker by any stretch though.

Reason for choosing SkillShark

Excellent product demonstration and customer service

Very helpful!

It was great, it helped our organization tremendously. All positive comments from coaches and parents when we implemented.

PROS

We liked the way we could have several evaluators and could consolidate the data into a spreadsheet. We also used the video feature as well.

CONS

It was a lot for me to set up. I'm hoping that I can recruit others to be a part of this process.

Reason for choosing SkillShark

Once we settled on exactly what we needed the alternative was a much higher price than Skillshark.

Happy user from Cairo, Egypt

Great use for our industry. We needed something like this a long time ago.

PROS

The integration was super easy. 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.

CONS

None what so ever. I wish it was around earlier. Would have saved us a whole lot of time.

Vendor Response

Hi Chad, we appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We take feedback seriously, and this is the first time we've heard of anything like this. It is our intention to have our program exceed your expectations. We would appreciate the opportunity to connect with you if possible. We are finding coaches who use our free trial have the best experience when they book our free orientation. This is a white glove setup we offer both paid and trial users. We offer this to help ensure everything is set up exactly as you need it while educating you on key features that you can leverage on your free account. Most companies charge setup fees, however we do not. Providing our customers with the support they need is of utmost importance. If you wouldn't mind emailing us, we would appreciate the opportunity to take a look at this in more detail. The more information we have the better we can be for all our customers. Thanks again for your time and feedback Chad. info@skillshark.com

Used for evaluating players

We used SkillShark to evaluate our Ringette players. It was very easy to use even as a first time user. I would highly recommend to anyone doing evaluations for sports.

CONS

We only used SkillShark the one time for evaluations and I did not see any Cons.
