FAQ

First, download the Sports Checkin app from the Apple Store or the Google Play store

Then, create a director account and create your club. After that, you can add players, parents, and coaches to the club.

Once your players sign up or approve their invites they are then ready to respond to any Checkin that you create.

It takes 10-20 minutes to setup your organization and your teams depending on how many teams you have in your organization. Data is populated for coaches and directors to view as soon as players respond to a Checkin.

All you need to provide is your contact details to create an account. As a player you will then answer anonymous questions when your coach or director creates a Checkin. As a coach or director, you setup your team by providing e-mail addresses and then create Checkins after practices, games, or on days off.

A coach or director sets up and invites players to join the app and their team. If players are under the age of 13 there are additional parental approvals that need to take place before the player can use the app.

Organizations are able to adjust coaching methodologies to better meet the needs of the players resulting in player satisfaction and increased retention. Directors are able to use data as discussion points for coaching development programs.

Sports Checkin was developed with any team sport in mind. This could even be individual sports that have a team management component to them like golf or tennis. Anytime sports organizations want to get unbiased feedback from their players it will work for them.

This was designed for youth competitive and recreational athletes. The focus was not specifically for olympic or elite athletes however many of the questions are applicable.

The best practice is for directors to discuss the results with their coaches on a regular basis. In turn, coaches would discuss results with their players where necessary. Coaches are able to take the feedback and cater their methods to ensure that they are having the best possible influence on their athletes.

Absolutely! This is what the app is all about. The data from Sports Checkin provides discussion points for directors and coaches to have their own ‘checkins’ throughout the season.
