True Tryouts vs CoachSigns

The True Tryouts app is the most efficient grade tool app in the nation. Created by a coach for coaches. The True Tryouts app assists coaches and organizations operate the entire process by creating events with multiple age groups, field location, date, time, and the ability to post the event flyer. The Coach sets the player price, with a minimum of $5.00. The coach can charge more than $5.00 and they will get the entire amount, minus $5.00, once the event concludes. Any player price above $50.00, the coach/org will get 90% of the player funds. Athletes register a new account with the capability of adding multiple family members on one dashboard. The athlete can search nearby events by filtering the state, sport, and age group. The athlete simply registers for the event with one click on the "Register" button and then payment is taken. Before the event start date, the coach can see exactly how many players will attend the tryout for each age group, therefore knowing how many evaluators to assist them. An unlimited number of evaluator coaches can be invited to assist in the evaluation process. All evaluators grading numbers will be averaged among all grading the event. Evaluators have 6 metrics to grade the athletes. Hitting, Pitching, Infield, Outfield, Catching, and Running. Each metric has a 1-10 slide bar scale for different aspects of the position. There are velocity metrics for hitting and pitching. There are time metrics for catcher throws and running. At the conclusion of the event, the coach can see on their event dashboard the overall score of each athlete along with the capability to download a detailed spreadsheet of every metric graded. When the coach concludes the event manually on their dashboard, every participant will automatically get a detailed email of their individual score from each metric along with a cumulative score comparison of every player in that event's age group.

CoachSigns is the native coach app for the CoachSigns wireless sign-calling system — the base station and watch receivers that let baseball and softball coaches send pitch, defense, and offense signals to players on the field without visible hand signs. Call your game from anywhere in the dugout — every sign you tap reaches the whole team at once. A CALLING SURFACE BUILT AROUND HOW YOU COACH The Station page is fully customizable. Drag and resize the pitch, defense, offense, and location tiles to fit how you coach, and hide the ones you don't use. Layouts save per orientation, so your portrait setup is one rotation away from a landscape setup. Call locations your way — a strike-zone grid with off-the-plate cells, RED / GREEN / YELLOW color boxes, or labels you write yourself. Pitch count, balls, strikes and outs, a game timer, and a scoreboard keep the whole game on one screen. UP TO SIX BASES ON ONE TEAM Add a second CoachSigns base — up to six — and every one of them sends to the same watches. Keep a spare in the bag, or give each coach on your staff a base of their own. SAVE THE WATCHES BETWEEN GAMES Settings → Watches → Sleep all puts every player watch to sleep with one tap, so the batteries last through a tournament weekend. A tap of the side button wakes a watch right back up. EVERYTHING ELSE, FROM THE APP Pairing, signal libraries with per-signal vibration patterns, a theme picker (system, light, dark, or high-contrast), and over-the-air firmware updates for your entire watch fleet. Accessibility: high-contrast mode boosts dynamic type, locks to dark theme, and applies bold-weight strokes throughout — designed for coaches with low vision or sun-glare conditions. No hardware yet?
