Every athlete deserves a fair shot at making the team. These printable evaluation forms cover sports like baseball, volleyball, and soccer, plus general multi-sport formats that adapt to any program.
Each form includes position-specific rating rubrics and skill scales. The scoring sections fit youth and high school programs alike. Evaluating 20 athletes or 200, standardized criteria reduce bias and give every player a clear chance to show their abilities.

A ten-step cut protocol you can print, from setting roster spots before day one to locks, bubble players, second looks, and pre-written tie rules. Then the words: five copyable texts for the pre-tryout parent handout, the cut, last year's player, the parent call, and the written note, plus roster limits and game formats by sport from FIBA, FIVB, U.S. Soccer, and Little League.
The cross-sport hub behind every tryout. Six things coaches score at any tryout, from athleticism to compete level to position fit, laid out in a criteria table with a cross-sport example of each. Then the four drill types every session needs, one worked from a different sport, and a routing map to position-by-position drills for soccer, volleyball, softball, baseball, basketball, hockey, and football.
Thirteen drills for the coach with a clipboard, each one a scored read. Time home-to-first and long-toss for measurables, run hitting stations that weight the bunt and the lefty slap, hit ground balls and the 3-2-1 infield burst, then grade pitchers, catchers, middles, and outfielders on their own jobs. Includes a position-marker table sorting strong signs from red flags, a two-hour run sheet, and the fastpitch specifics that set softball apart.
Fifteen drills built to score players while they run, grouped by what a tryout has to read. A technical screen for first touch and passing, a speed-and-1v1 block that turns fitness and duels into numbers, position stations for goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards, and small-sided games that expose decisions. Includes a position-by-position marker table, a two-hour run of show, and a plan that turns the drills you pick into your first practice once the roster is set.
Eleven drills built to score players while they run, grouped by what a tryout has to evaluate. Movement and jump, ball control under a live serve, position stations for setters, hitters, middles, and liberos, and a competitive wash game that shows who communicates and competes. Includes a position-by-position marker table, a 90-minute run of show, and a plan that turns the drills you pick into your first practice once the roster is set.
Forty players, one field, ninety minutes to a roster. A run of show with timed station blocks, the observable markers to watch for at each position, how the day changes from 8U rec to 16U showcase, and a fair way to score players and deliver cuts.
