How Soccer works in SkillScorer
Score
Each player in a team is scored on the Soccer skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank players, compare two side by side, or compare your teams 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 Soccer skills need attention. Reports also follow each coach's team.
