How Team Sport Coaching works in SkillScorer
Score
Each coach in a program is scored on the Team Sport Coaching skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank coaches, compare two side by side, or compare your programs against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Team Sport Coaching skills need attention. Reports also follow each head coach's program.

How are coaches scored in Team Sport Coaching?
Every coach is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one program and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Team Sport Coaching?
Team Sport Coaching starts with these levels (called “Accreditation Level” in the app): Assistant Coach, Level 1 Coach, Level 2 Coach, Level 3 Coach, Head Coach and Director of Coaching. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Team Sport Coaching skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In sports coaching & officiating the app talks about coaches, programs and head coachs, and you can change any of those words too.
