Yes. We recommend using a laptop during the check in phase for the category director. A mobile device will work very well as well, but in our experience as things come up such as change of jerseys, marked absent, etc a laptop allows the director to make these changes much faster.

Any mobile device that has access to the internet through wifi or data package! We do recommend using google chrome for a more robust platform. Either mobile phones or tablets will work on our platform.

No. We do not do any skill or conditioning camps as we strongly believe in a fully neutral and impartial process! We have worked with other organizations that have used camp providers in the past and they have found that an unconscious bias occurs and players can be unfortunately looked at favorably because they have attended one of the development schools or camps. We do offer combine camps for players to be evaluated & Scouted by independent teams from Junior/pro leagues from all different sports!

If your organization subscribes to the insights option, the information available to families will depend on the specific features selected by the organization.  Depending on those options, the portal may include percentile information for evaluation categories, Player Insight Badges, evaluator comments, and individual evaluation scores for each game or evaluation schedule. Specific numerical scores for individual categories are not displayed, and no cumulative or total scores will be provided.  The evaluator comments are designed to provide the greatest value to families by identifying what the player is doing well and areas where they may continue to improve. The amount and type of feedback may vary from one evaluation to the next based on how the player performs in front of the independent evaluators.

Your player’s score is primarily used for internal evaluation purposes to assist the organization with team selection and appropriate player placement. It represents the independent evaluators’ assessment of the player’s performance during that specific game or evaluation schedule.  Scores may vary from one evaluation to another based on the player’s performance and the evaluation criteria being assessed. No single score determines a player’s final placement, as the organization considers the complete evaluation process when making team selections.

Throughout the evaluation process there is going to be movement of players. We recommend making yourself available for all schedules which would have been provided by your organization. All players come into the process on an equal playing field therefore we use different schedules to place players in the appropriate schedules based on how they perform in front of the evaluators. Player schedules are dynamic throughout the process and may change within a day’s notice.

We do recommend attending every schedule your child is asked to show up to. If your organization deems your absence as excusable, you may receive an average for that schedule. If the organization deems your absence as un-excusable then you may receive a zero.

Every athlete is assessed/evaluated based on their individual skills and team play throughout the process. Our expert evaluators will evaluate the players regardless of their type of play and will not impact their type of game they play.

Our tagline – Trust the process! With over 25 years of experience, we have learned that data points collected over duration of time will have players placed in the appropriate group based on how they played in front of us. We have learned that you need a minimum of 64 subjective data points collected for a player and a minimum of 96 data points collected for a goaltender. For most organizations, we recommend having 4 evaluators with 4 categories evaluated (6 for goaltenders) for a minimum of 4 schedules. Your child may be in the wrong group early in the process but over the course of more schedules and more data points collected we believe we will have the players in the correct group for team selection purposes.

Players – We recommend having 4 categories, with 4 evaluators and 4 schedules. The max score is 144 for players as our recommend scale is a 1-9. For goaltenders we recommend having 6 categories, with 4 evaluators for 4 schedules with a scale of 1-9, therefore the maximum score for each schedule would be 216.

The standard feedback should your organization subscribe to it will give parents access to the score and the rank for that schedule only. There are no comments provided or any other additional data points provided for the basic package. No sum scores for the overall selection/tryout period will be given to parents.

The optional Player Insights Portal provides families with additional information about their player’s evaluation. The specific information available is determined by the organization, and each organization may choose which features are shown to families.  Depending on the options selected, the portal may include percentile information for evaluation categories, Player Insight Badges, evaluator comments, and individual evaluation scores. Specific numerical scores for individual categories are not displayed.  The evaluator comments are designed to provide the greatest value to families by identifying what the player is doing well and areas where they may continue to improve. The amount and type of feedback may vary from one evaluation to the next based on how the player performs in front of the independent evaluators.  Player Insight Badges and percentile information may also change throughout the evaluation process as additional evaluations are completed.  The Player Insights Portal is 100% optional and is available for an additional fee where offered by the organization.

If a player is at the rep level for one tryout and goes to another selection such as a house tryout, the player is starting fresh and the players insights will change and should you wish as 100% optional, you can subscribe to another player insights portal.
