Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about how TryoutOS runs youth sports tryouts.

What is TryoutOS?

TryoutOS is tryout management software for youth sports programs. It runs registration, check-in, evaluations, team formation, and communication for tryouts — all in one platform.

Which sports does TryoutOS support?

TryoutOS supports soccer, baseball, softball, football, basketball, and other youth sports. Each sport can have its own evaluation criteria and age structure while sharing one athlete database.

How is TryoutOS different from a spreadsheet?

Spreadsheets require double-entry, evaluator isolation, and manual comparison. TryoutOS captures scores digitally as tryouts happen, aggregates evaluators automatically, and keeps every record tied to one athlete profile.

Does TryoutOS include athlete registration?

Yes. Families register on your branded TryoutOS platform, sign waivers, and pay — and the athletes flow directly into check-in, evaluation, and selection without re-entering data.

How do multiple evaluators score the same player?

Each evaluator scores independently on a phone or tablet against your rubric. TryoutOS aggregates the scores per athlete, flags outliers, and makes them easy to compare.

Can we build our own evaluation criteria?

Yes. You define the categories that matter — technical, tactical, physical, mental, or any custom rubric — with your own rating scales. Sport-specific templates are available to start fast.

What happens to player records after tryouts end?

Records stay in TryoutOS. Historical evaluations, notes, registrations, and roster history stay attached to each athlete's profile so directors can look back across seasons.

Does TryoutOS work offline at the field?

Evaluators score on-device and results sync when connectivity returns, so spotty field WiFi does not stop the tryout.

How long does setup take?

Most programs are running their first live tryout within a week — including registration setup, sessions, evaluators, and rubric configuration.

How much does TryoutOS cost?

Pricing is based on your program's size and needs. See the pricing page for current plans, or get in touch for a walkthrough.
