In collegiate field hockey, winning is everything. And it all starts with effective scouting and player assessment.

SportsBoard Field Hockey Scout ("Scout"), a new, patent-pending iPad-based scouting/assessment tool, revolutionizes how field hockey coaches scout opponents and assess individual athletes.

Scout was designed by field hockey coaches for field hockey coaches, and combines the power of the iPad with sophisticated field hockey-specific functionality to replace the clipboard, and facilitate electronic data collection from assessment events, tournament events, or games involving
opponents.

Eliminate the clipboard and use Scout instead to take notes, record voicememos, capture assessment data and take photos! Once you start using Scout, you will never go back.
