Getting Close

I agree with VBNE1?. It truly makes stat taking much easier and quicker. I wouldn't mind the $20 per year IF I could actually see the stats for the match. I only used this once because when I was finished with the match I had to tally up the stats from each game to get the match stats to send into the newspaper. It seems like it would be an easy fix, but to this date, still no match stats. Please fix this. I know that many other teams are using VBTAP, but this program, with one seemingly minor fix, would easily surpass all their competition. So close, yet so far.

Love it

This app is great for stats and easy to use. I love All the extras like "net points" and what happened each point in the point log

Useful app!

Records and keeps track of all my players stats! Easy to use once you learn it.

Great app

Great app! A few tweaks could be made and it would be great if you could customize your stat layout. Like edit things to say what you want on the taps and rearrange the tiers of errors etc to speed up the stat taking ability. Great start though!!

SoloStat 1-2-3 review

SoloStat 1-2-3 Review

SoloStat 1-2-3 gathers stats on the last contact of a rally only, much like the Plus/Minus stats that many coaches are already taking but is now nearly fully automated. This reduces the number of stats one needs to take in a match considerably and allows you focuses only on the skill, good or bad, that ended the rally for or against your team--the most important stat The app is easy to set up and easy to implement. The stand alone provides some rudimentary stats, such as points won/lost per rotation, net points for each player that played on your roster and a point log. The app costs $19.99 per year, a bit steep. The fact that you have a subscription for the app is a real turnoff. It means that you have to fork over $20 a year to use the same app year after year. Yuk! And at $20 a year you can't even share the data with your coaches! There are no print or export features to your computer. This is a real killer. However, for another $20 a year, you get much enhanced stats online. Data is now exported not to your computer, but to an online facility. However, the big downside of this is that in a lot of gyms you rarely can get a cellphone/iPad carrier signal. Also many iPad only have WiFi, and at all of the gyms I've been in, the wifi is not available to outsiders. So here you have collected stats that are nearly inaccessible on the road where you need them most. Then when you get home, the additional fee makes it much less desirable to own, especially for club or high school coaches who have to purchases these niceties with their own private funds. The online data is available for downloading and printing though. The bottom-line is if you can afford $40 a year, SoloStat 1-2-3 is a great app. Personally I hate subscriptions/leases, as who knows when they'll raise the yearly fee, especially after you get dependent upon it.

Amazing

I used to use paper and pencil to do this. Now it is just a tap and everything is tallied! Highly recommended

Awesome App

Let me point out the obvious; the App is free for thirty days. If you don't care for it, the creators of this app are all ears about your feedback. I encourage you to contact them if you like, or dislike the current app. The two guys are great dudes, and appreciate feedback, negative AND POSITIVE as well. The customer service these guys provide is almost as if they are building the app for you. People have to make money, so if you can look past the cost, you'll truly get an understanding of the service these guys provide.
This is a plain and simple app here, not anything extravagant and busy on the screen. It's simple and efficient, as I would think any coach/statistician would want it to be as they are progressing they're way through the match. I'm not the best organized coach, so being able to calculate the numbers in a quick efficient manner helps out a bunch. If you are in a situation where you're coaching solo, and your parents are not the best of help then SoloStats 123 is the way to go. Take it from me, I've tried the few apps that are out there, and I feel this one works for me because it's very simple, and I like keeping it simple during the chaos of a tournament.
Furthermore, I definitely encourage everyone to check out their other product at ROTATE123.com for rotation optimization. If you are a volleyball coach, you definitely need this product in your toolbox.

SoloStats

Outstanding.

SoloStats gives coaches the ability to COACH and stat at the same time.

The WebReports feature gives more information than any coach could ever compile on their own and requires no extra time.

Perfect for the coach who wants to do more with less.

The Art of Coaching Volleyball

AVCA Exec Director

VB coaching is most often one coach w/ 10-12 players. Taking live stats was impossible until now. While you don't get every contact w/ SoloStats123, you get the last one! Further, the robust analysis programmed behind the simple data collection makes this tool uniquely helpful for a one coach operation.

Solostats 123

I have used the program at 3 separate tournaments while coaching at the same time. The program is easy to use while you're watching the games. After reviewing the data, it has been very helpful to determine where to focus our attention for practice, as well as to see how the players have improved even over the course of a few weeks. The only info you don't get are the great passes and digs prior to the end point, but that may not matter in the long run. I would highly recommend this program to all coaches.
