SportsBoard Tennis Scout ("Scout") is a new iPad-based scouting tool that revolutionizes how tennis coaches evaluate and assess their own players and potential opponents.

Scout was designed by coaches for coaches, and combines the power of the iPad with sophisticated tennis-specific functionality to replace the clipboard and facilitate electronic data collection and analysis.

Toss the clipboard….use Tennis Scout instead to take notes, record voicememos, capture tennis-specific assessment data and take photos! Once you start using Tennis Scout, you will never go back.

Features
Scout can be used to:
• Evaluate players during their practices or matches
• Evaluate opponents playing against one another in order to identify strengths and weaknesses and develop a strategy for playing against them

Scout allows coaches to:
• Rate players using pre-defined tennis-specific metrics
• Define custom fields for additional metrics beyond the pre-defined fields
• Type notes or record voicememos
• Take profile pictures, photos and footage of individual players using the iPad camera and then semail

Benefits
• Spend more time watching the players than looking down writing notes or typing smartphone emails
• Make better decisions, which optimizes time and money spent travelling to visit recruiting candidates
• Save money by not having to pay part-time clerical staff to enter data that was collected manually or with smartphone email into a spreadsheet or database
• Obtain more accurate data by not having clerical staff enter data incorrectly based on illegible notes or keyboard errors
• Save time in being able to view and analyze data collected about scouted players
• View photos of players, not just data, which synthesizes faces with names/data collected after attending many scouting events
