Assessing an athlete

Recording that an athlete has met a skill, what happens next, and who sees it.

CoachesReviewed 5 September 2026

Open the athlete, find the skill, and record that they have met it. That is the whole action — there is no separate submit or publish step.

What happens immediately

  • The family's scorecard updates. They can see it that evening.
  • Your name and the time are recorded against the assessment.
  • If it was the last skill at that level, any badge the club has defined for completing the level is awarded automatically, and the guardian gets an email.
Because parents see this as it happens, assess when you have actually observed the skill rather than catching up in a batch at the end of term. A scorecard that moves week by week is the thing families notice.

Someone else may sign it off

The approver is recorded separately from the assessor, so a head coach can review and sign off work a section coach did. Both names stay on the record.

Promoting a level

When an athlete moves up, the next level's skills are assigned to them automatically. You do not need to add them one at a time.

The four levels — Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Pro — are fixed and cannot be renamed. If your club talks about its own named stages, they are mapped onto these four.
