Tryout and player evaluation software

Natty Hatty is tryout software for clubs, facilities and competitive programs that run tryouts every season. Registration, waivers, payments, check-in, coach evaluations, rankings and team invitations all run in one system, so nothing gets copied between forms, spreadsheets and email threads.

Families sign up online. Coaches score players on a phone or tablet. Directors see rankings update as the tryout happens and send team invitations the same day. It works as a sports tryout app for everyone involved: families use the Natty Hatty App, coaches use Coach Hub, and your staff run it all from Business Center or the Business Pal app.

Tryouts are one part of the wider Natty Hatty platform, so the players you select move straight into your teams, leagues and memberships.

Paper score sheets get lost, and spreadsheets take a night to merge. Natty Hatty's player evaluation software lets every coach score players live, from the field:

• Score from the Coach Hub app or from Business Center in any browser
• Use a phone or a tablet, whichever the coach prefers
• See every coach's scores sync to one shared record as they're entered

Because it is a player evaluation app and a web tool at once, it works whether your coaches carry tablets or just their phones. For sports programs looking for player evaluation tools for youth sports tryouts, it replaces the clipboard without adding a separate sports evaluation app to manage.

A tryout registration form is only the start. Natty Hatty's online registration collects everything you need before the first player steps on the field:

• Register several players, for several tryout sessions, in one checkout
• Ask your own questions: position, experience, previous team, jersey size
• Collect a signed digital waiver, powered by Signature
• Take the tryout fee with payments built into the same flow
• Add memberships, program fees and eligibility requirements

Families register from any device. Every answer, waiver and payment lands on the player's record, organized before the tryout begins. It is the tryout side of youth sports registration software, built around how tryouts actually run, whether you need a basketball tryout registration form or a multi-sport sign-up.

On the day, staff check players in as they arrive against the registered list. Everyone on the field is someone you already have a waiver, a payment and a profile for. Coaches see who is there before evaluations start, and no one is scored without a registration behind them.

Every program evaluates differently. Build scoring criteria that match yours:

• Set criteria by sport, for example hitting and fielding for baseball, serving and passing for volleyball, skating and puck control for hockey
• Adjust by position, so goalkeepers and field players aren't scored on the same skills
• Change criteria by age group as expectations grow

The same flexibility covers the rubric-style scoring many programs already use, from a volleyball tryouts rubric to a cheer tryout score sheet. Your coaching philosophy stays yours; the system just keeps every score consistent.

A printed tryout evaluation form works until three coaches fill in three copies with three different handwriting styles. Then someone has to type it all up.

With Natty Hatty, your player evaluation form lives in the system. You set it up once as a reusable player evaluation template, coaches fill it in on their devices, and the results are already combined when the session ends. No re-typing, no lost pages and no guessing at what a score meant.

As coaches submit scores, Natty Hatty ranks players automatically from the combined evaluations. Directors can:

• See the full ranking update in real time during the tryout
• Compare players side by side on the same criteria

Decisions rest on shared data instead of the loudest opinion in the room.

Select your teams from the rankings, then send invitations from the same system. Families receive the offer, accept or decline it, and pay team fees in one step. You see every response as it comes in, so open roster spots are clear the moment someone declines.

It does the job of a team selection app without leaving the platform where the evaluations, waivers and payments already live.

Clubs that run tryouts across several fields, facilities or weekends manage them all from one dashboard:

• Set up tryout events at one location or many
• Offer multiple dates and sessions for each age group
• Keep every registration, score and ranking in one place across all of them

Need space to host them? Book fields and courts through Natty Hatty bookings.

Natty Hatty supports tryouts for any youth sport. You build the scoring around each one, for example:

• Baseball and softball: a baseball tryout evaluation app for hitting, fielding, throwing and speed
• Soccer: technical, tactical and physical scoring by position
• Basketball: shooting, ball handling, defense and scrimmage play
• Volleyball: serving, passing, setting and hitting
• Hockey: skating, puck control and game sense, as a hockey player evaluation app on the bench
• Football, lacrosse, cheer and multi-sport programs: build criteria to match

Whatever the sport, sports evaluation follows the same connected flow from registration to team invitation.

Whether you're planning how to run a baseball tryout, a softball tryout or a soccer tryout plan for a new season, the steps are the same:

1. Set up your tryout events, locations and age groups
2. Open registration with waivers and payments included
3. Capture player information before they arrive
4. Check players in and evaluate them in real time
5. Review rankings and finalize your rosters
6. Send team invitations and start the season

Natty Hatty connects every step, before, during and after the tryout, so each one feeds the next.

Tryouts are where the season starts. Once invitations are accepted, players flow straight into the rest of Natty Hatty:

• Build rosters and schedules in team management
• Enter teams into leagues and tournaments
• Sell season membership plans
• Collect dues and fees with payments

For sports clubs, facilities and coaches running serious programs, it's one system from the first sign-up to the last game. Talk to our team to set up your next tryout.
