Fairer tryout notes
Give every evaluator the same skills, scale, and note prompts, then compare observations without decoding paper sheets.
Define observable anchors so ratings reflect the same standard across stations.
Keep each skill in a separate field for filtering and player-by-player review.
Pair ratings with short strength and development notes that preserve what coaches saw.
Built around your tryout
Choose a workflow, then change its age group, position branches, stations, and rating language.
Rate broad fundamentals and recommend balanced placements for registered players.
Add detailed rubrics, position projections, and a callback decision.
Show each volunteer only the questions for their assigned station.
Branch to pitcher, catcher, infield, or outfield criteria by tested position.
Tryout workflow
Build the rubric, collect field-side submissions, and keep consistent records for the review meeting.
List the skills, stations, evaluators, and position-specific criteria you need.
Define each score and require player ID, evaluator, ratings, and an observation.
Open one link on evaluators' devices; conditional logic keeps each station quick.
Filter exported responses, flag conflicting scores, and review the original notes.
Form vs spreadsheet vs paper
Capture structured evidence between repetitions and keep it usable for the selection meeting.
Field guide
Connect every rating to observable play across six essential sections.
Player record
Connect a visible bib number to the player, evaluator, and session so coaches can trace differing scores.
Hitting
Rate several swings for contact, balance, timing, path, and bat speed instead of letting one result define the score.
Fielding
Keep approach, hands, footwork, transfer, ground balls, and fly balls distinct so a position fit remains visible.
Throwing
Score repeated throws to a defined target, including mechanics, release, accuracy, and usable strength for the tested position.
Movement & awareness
Record speed, reactions, decisions, communication, effort, and response to instruction with specific behavioral notes.
Summary
Preserve component scores, then add strengths, a development priority, possible positions, and a clear next step.

It is a tryout scorecard for recording player identity, hitting, fielding, throwing, running, awareness, effort, notes, evaluator, and recommendation in one structured submission.
A one-to-five scale works when every number has a written, observable anchor. Calibrate evaluators with sample repetitions and preserve component scores instead of relying only on a total.
Consider balance, timing, swing path, bat speed, contact frequency, contact quality, and zone decisions. Score several pitches using age-appropriate criteria.
For fielding, rate approach, hands, footwork, tracking, and transfer. For throwing, rate mechanics, release, accuracy to a named target, and usable arm strength.
Yes. A station dropdown can conditionally show hitting, infield, outfield, throwing, running, pitching, or catching fields while keeping bib number, evaluator, ratings, notes, and second-look flag consistent.
Use observable criteria, written anchors, comparable repetitions, and evaluator calibration. Keep evaluator names, inspect unusually different scores, and review notes before decisions.
Yes. Makeform offers unlimited free forms and responses, so a league can generate, edit, publish, and use its evaluation form without a response cap. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge; it does not unlock basic form capacity.
Responses arrive in the Makeform inbox and can go to Google Sheets for sorting by player, station, position, evaluator, or recommendation. Review raw scores, notes, duplicates, and conflicts before finalizing rosters.
Make every tryout observation count.
