Olymp Praha is a hard-working club whose main goal is to keep their 200 rugby players happy. Jan Macháček, the founder of the club, says that performance outcome is only possible if players feel happy and motivated.
Everyone in our team was excited when we released new features for player evaluation and testing and sending progress reports via email. We had planned it with the best intention to help coaches track player’s progress and give personal feedback to players – the thing that parents are missing most from their kids’ sport clubs.
Everything started very well and we got very positive feedback from many clubs using our software. But suddenly an opposition rose on our Facebook page over the issue of whether player evaluation and testing would deprive kids of fun of playing. Our post received comments like:
Great news, folks. You can now search players by their own or their parents’ contact information (names, emails, phone numbers).
Here is our long-awaited update that makes it easier for coaches to track the progress of player evaluations and test results. We have added sample tests for technical, tactical, physical, and psychological testing. And sending progress reports to players and parents via email is the cherry on the cake.
The second post in our series of “Tips & tricks on Sportlyzer” focuses on schedules & planning. Read on to see how to make the most of Sportlyzer for your club. And if you haven’t read our previous post, you can find the link to it from the bottom of this post.
Sportlyzer is a team and training management software with a kick-ass sports team calendar. It will help you plan training, share schedules, track attendance, and understand who’s coming to a training or game.
The new season has started and you are probably in over your head with the administrative load. That’s why we are giving you a quick reminder why you should take a look at Sportlyzer’s team and training management software this season.
Yesterday the underdog Iceland beat England in football at the 2016 UEFA European Championships. Incredible and energizing indeed, but this victory is only the tip of the iceberg. When we look at the invisible yet fundamental part of Icelandic football, we find a well-established youth sports system.
Sportlyzer closed a successful 130K-Euros crowdfunding round on Funderbeam Markets and we were humbled to see our users, top athletes, coaches and other sports experts join to back us. These people see clearly why Sportlyzer is a must for youth sports and we wanted to share their insights with you as well.
It’s clear that sooner or later all membership and calendar management in sports clubs will shift from paper and Excel to special software. But many of you may wonder, what will the work of coaches be like after they have made this change? And is it worth the hustle? To get answers to these questions we talked to a youth coach Martin Kokkuta from HC Tallinn, who is already using Sportlyzer Coach Diary as an everyday tool.
