Sportsmanship Evaluations
Sportsmanship evaluations let coaches log behavioral observations for each player across a structured set of categories. Evaluations appear on the player profile, can be trended over time, and can be included in report cards shared with families.
Accessing the Sportsmanship Card
Open any player profile (tap their name on the Roster screen). The Sportsmanship card appears below the stats and mechanics sections. It shows the total number of evaluations logged and a list of recent entries.
Adding an Evaluation
- Tap + Add on the Sportsmanship card
- Set the date — defaults to today
- Score one or both Primary categories (at least one is required)
- Tap Situational ▼ to expand the situational categories if applicable
- Add a note describing the specific situation or behavior (optional)
- Tap Save Evaluation
Scoring Scale
Each category is scored on a 0–3 scale:
| Score | Label | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Needs Attention | Behavior was a problem and was addressed |
| 1 | Developing | Inconsistent — player is aware but still working on it |
| 2 | Solid | Consistent expected behavior |
| 3 | Exemplary | Stood out in a positive way; led by example |
Categories
Primary (log every session)
| Category | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Effort | Hustle, energy, engagement — did the player compete fully? |
| Coachability | Receptiveness to instruction and feedback during the session |
At least one Primary category must be scored to save an evaluation.
Situational (log only when applicable)
| Category | When to log it |
|---|---|
| Self-Control | A notable emotional situation occurred — positive or negative |
| Respect | Player's conduct toward teammates, opponents, or umpires was noteworthy |
| Team First | Player showed sacrifice or selflessness, or the opposite |
Leave situational categories unscored when no noteworthy situation occurred during the session. Logging every category every time dilutes the signal — these are meant to document specific moments.
Notes
Use the notes field to record the specific situation or behavior. A note is optional but makes evaluations meaningful over time:
"Stayed positive after striking out twice, encouraged the next batter."
"Argued a called strike — we talked about it after the inning."
Notes appear directly on each evaluation entry in the player profile.
Including Sportsmanship in Report Cards
When generating a report card, toggle Include sportsmanship evaluation to on. All logged evaluations for the player are included in the report card — there is no date filter for sportsmanship. If no evaluations have been logged, the toggle is available but the section will be empty.
Sportsmanship data in the shared report card is visible to families. Use it to start a direct conversation, not to surprise anyone — consider discussing observations in person first.
Editing and Deleting
Tap Edit or Delete on any evaluation entry in the player profile. Deletes are permanent and cannot be undone.
