Practical answers for coaches and scouts building a consistent evaluation scorecard.
A player ratings form records observed technical, tactical, physical, and behavioral qualities. It connects ratings to a player, evaluator, session, and position, with notes and a selection or development recommendation.
Common groups are sport-specific technique, awareness, decisions, fitness, communication, teamwork, attitude, and coachability. Add only observable position skills, plus not observed when a drill does not test a criterion.
Use a labeled 1–5 scale: 1 can mean below the team standard, 3 meets it, and 5 stands out. Adapt labels to your program and separate not observed from the lowest score.
Yes. Require player, evaluator, station, date, and position. Group shared-sheet entries by player. Multiple observations reveal agreement or scoring differences, while examples add context for the final recommendation.
Yes. Use conditional logic to show goalkeeper handling, setter decisions, pitcher command, or another specialist section for that position. Keep communication and effort shared across players.
Translate attitude into observable actions. Ask how the player responded to feedback, communicated with teammates, maintained effort after an error, or followed instructions. Require a brief example for unusually high or low ratings, and review the scale with evaluators before the session begins.
Yes. Makeform offers unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and reuse player evaluation forms without a response cap. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Submissions arrive in your Makeform inbox and can be sent to Google Sheets, Slack, or other connected workflows. In a sheet, keep raw ratings by evaluator, compare category scores, read evidence notes, and flag players who need another viewing rather than relying on one overall average.
Give every evaluator the same scorecard.
