It took West Shore Technologies' SportsBoard Scout only a few months to make an impact on the sport of mens lacrosse. Now the revolutionary iPad application designed to streamline the arduous tasks of scouting and talent assessment is ready for the womens game. Today, West Shore Technologies announces the release of Lacrosse Scout for Women, and prominent womens coaches at all levels are signing up.
Todays Problem
Most coaches record assessment data on clipboards or in binders and then (1) cant read what they wrote, (2) arent able to write down everything they observe, (3) arent able to easily take photos and link them to the data for each player, (4) dont have time to put the data into a spreadsheet or database for more thorough analysis, and (5) cant look at historical data about a players performance over a multi-year period.
The Solution
SportsBoard Lacrosse Scout provides lacrosse coaches with metric categories including Stick, Speed, Defensive Strength, Offensive Strength and Intangibles, as well as features for capturing text notes, voicememos, profile pictures and photos, and footage. Coaches can rate the players on a +/neutral/- or 1-5 basis for any of the metrics during or after the assessment event. Lacrosse Scout automatically syncs the data to West Shore Technologies secure server on the internet where the coaches can login to review and analyze data for decision-making purposes.
It will streamline our recruiting data and allow us to spend more time on other aspects of coaching, said Amy Bokker, Womens Lacrosse Head Coach at Stanford University. The thought of not having to re-enter notes from binders and packets from recruiting events makes this so worth it.
West Shore Technologies used SportsBoard Lacrosse Scout, which it created for mens lacrosse as a foundation, and then incorporated unique features into it that are unique to the womens form of the game.
Jay Cooney, our Womens Soccer Assistant Head Coach who is using SportsBoard Soccer Scout, introduced us to West Shore and Lacrosse Scout, continued Bokker. Lacrosse Scout, at that time, was clearly designed for the Mens game; but West Shore took the time to listen to our needs, incorporate them into that product, and create a completely separate p product for us. Thats service.
