The problem

Tryout weekends shouldn’t feel chaotic.

Most clubs still run one of the most important weekends of the year with outdated tools and guesswork. TryoutIQ changes that.

  • Clipboards that never agree.
  • Conflicting evaluator opinions.
  • Missed players, missed moments.
  • Delayed decisions and late-night emails.
  • Endless parent follow-up.

Designed for the field. Built for the office.

Everything your club needs to run elite tryouts.

From first check-in to final roster release, TryoutIQ gives directors one connected system to run professional, efficient, fair tryouts.

Check-in

Parents check in on their phones. Capture attendance, confirmations, and player photos in seconds — no lines, no clipboards, no missed arrivals.

Director ROI

Less chaos. Faster decisions. Happier parents.

The outcomes directors measure their tryout weekend by — and the reason clubs renew and refer peers.

Less chaos

One source of truth replaces clipboards, group chats, and conflicting PDFs. Directors always know where the tryout stands.

Faster decisions

Live rankings + explainable placements + roster-balance warnings. Publish results the same weekend with confidence.

Happier parents

Faster check-in lines, clearer communication, and professional result release — the signals families notice.

The difference

Better teams start with better decisions.

TryoutIQ helps clubs move beyond gut feel and politics. Every recommendation is transparent. Every decision stays human-controlled.

Bubble players

Flag the ones who need another look before you commit.

Evaluator disagreements

See where evaluators drift apart — and by how much.

Roster imbalance risks

Catch a missing goalkeeper or a striker-heavy team early.

Promotion candidates

Surface the players who could play up a tier.

Explainable suggestions

Every recommendation shows its work — no black boxes.

Frequently asked

Answers for directors evaluating TryoutIQ.

What exactly is included in a season?
A 12-month license covers one tryout cycle end-to-end: check-in, evaluator scoring, placement decisions, roster building, and parent release. You also get historical data for the full season and automatic rollover into next year.
How long does onboarding take?
Most directors are running their first tryout within a day. The onboarding wizard walks you through club setup, sessions, age groups, and evaluator invites. Club Pro adds a dedicated onboarding specialist for your first season.
Can we use TryoutIQ for sports other than soccer?
Soccer is the current sport-aware scoring template. Basketball is scaffolded. The platform is designed to be sport-agnostic — check-in, evaluation, placements, and release work across sports; position weights adapt per template.
What happens at the end of a season?
Your roster and historical data stay visible in read-only mode. When next season opens, your club rolls over with evaluator roles, age-group setup, and parent contact info intact. No re-entry.
Do parents need to create an account?
No. Parents get a private, secure link per family to accept, decline, or request more time. Tryout Pass also gives each player a private check-in pass — no apps, no logins.
Is our club and player data private?
Every club is tenant-scoped end-to-end. Cross-tenant access only exists in our internal operations tooling. Parent-facing result links expire on the deadline you set, and player names are masked by default in evaluator flows.
Can we export to SportsEngine / TeamSnap?
Yes. CSV import is on every plan; structured SportsEngine export is included on Club Pro, and TeamSnap-ready rosters are a one-click export on Starter and Growth.
What if our club philosophy is no-cut or hybrid?
Tentative Teams supports no-cut, competitive, and hybrid philosophies as first-class modes. The engine adjusts how bubble and C-tier players are routed so the recommendations match the way your club actually runs.
