Tryout progress

Completion is based on required stations for the player's selected roles.

Scoring overview

Scores are normalized within each age group. Rankings are provisional until all required tests and coach ratings are entered.

60% Objective

30-yard dash, pull-down velocity, tee exit velocity, plus role-specific pitcher/catcher metrics.

40% Coach ratings

Infield, outfield, arm strength, hustle/effort, attitude, and batting practice (offensive categories averaged into one rating).

Incomplete = unranked

Players with missing required data are flagged and do not receive a final rank or composite score.

Register / edit player

Use a unique ID or jersey number to keep station results tied to the correct player.

Age-group eligibility rules

A player may not turn the next age before the cutoff date (turning that age on the cutoff date is allowed). Players may play up, never down. Change the cutoff each season.

Player roster

Select Edit to update player details or Delete to remove a record and its evaluations.

Station-based entry

Choose a player and station. Save each station separately; coaches can work from different devices only after a shared backend is added.

Selected player's station status

Missing required stations are listed before a player can be ranked.

Age-group rankings

Only complete players receive a composite score and rank. Role-specific metrics are included only for players assigned to that role.

Player evaluation report

Select a player to build a printable report with coach grades, percentile-ranked metrics and automated scouting notes. Use Print / Save PDF to share with families.

Users & access

Staff create their own account with Request access. It stays Pending (no data visible) until you assign a role here. Set a person to Disabled to cut off access.

Standardized coach rating rubric

Coaches score each category 1–10 on the SBA scale. Use the same definitions across all age groups to reduce evaluator-to-evaluator variation. Within a band, use the higher number when the player is clearly at the top of it.

RatingDefinitionGeneral interpretation
1–2 — Needs significant developmentFrequently struggles to perform the skill; requires substantial instruction and repetition.Well below current tryout expectation
3–4 — DevelopingShows some ability but is inconsistent; needs frequent reminders or mechanical adjustments.Below expected consistency
5–6 — CompetentDemonstrates the skill at an age-appropriate level with reasonable consistency.Meets expected level
7–8 — StrongPerforms the skill consistently and effectively; shows above-average execution for age group.Above expected level
9–10 — Impactful / advancedConsistently excels for age group; skill stands out and can positively impact competitive play.Exceptional for current age group

Coach categories: Infield, Outfield, Arm Strength, Hustle/Effort, Attitude, and Batting Practice (overall score, load & timing, swing mechanics, contact quality, power, approach / pitch recognition; the six BP ratings are averaged into one coach vote). Pitchers also receive delivery/command notes; catchers receive blocking, receiving, footwork, throwing accuracy and pop-time entries.

Data backup & portability

This prototype stores information locally in the browser. Export a JSON backup before switching devices or clearing browser data.

Important before live tryouts

  • Test on the actual phones/tablets and confirm field connectivity.
  • Agree on attempt counts, valid throws, radar-gun setup, and strike-zone/pitch-count rules.
  • Keep a designated admin responsible for backups and roster corrections.
  • For simultaneous coach entry from multiple devices, this prototype needs a secure shared database, authentication, role permissions, and a tested backup process.
