The clipboard era of tryouts is over.
SquadSelect replaces paper clipboards and spreadsheets with one holistic platform — from check-in to final roster. With SquadSelect you will pick the right team, every time.
Features
Everything tryout week needs, nothing it doesn't
Six pieces that work together as one connected system — not six separate tools bolted together.
CSV / PlayHQ Import
Drop in your registration export. SquadSelect auto-maps the standard fields — no manual re-entry.
Check-In & Tryout Number Assignment
Search any player by name or ID in seconds. Assign a tryout number, mark them present, and you're done — synced instantly to every evaluator on the court.
Mobile Court Evaluation
A rubric built for basketball: shooting, defense, IQ, athleticism. Add a note. One tap saves and moves to the next player.
Live Dashboard & Calibration
Every score rolls up in real time. When evaluators disagree, SquadSelect flags it — so your committee argues about the player, not about missing data.
Bulk Team Selection
Select players from the pool and assign them into teams together. See aggregated scores next to every name as you build.
Cohort-Safe Communication
Emails go out filtered strictly by status, with a full recipient review before anything sends.

No lock-in contract. SquadSelect is priced and built as a season tool — use it for your tryout window and nothing more.
Yes — that's the point. Every coach's score rolls into the same live dashboard, and SquadSelect flags it when evaluators disagree.
