I built this because I needed it

As a volunteer youth coach and software developer, I personally witnessed the chaos of paper evaluations. My first evaluation I experienced the errors of entering data in the wrong spreadsheet rows. I looked for existing apps, but found they were either too expensive or simply didn't work well. So, I built my own.

What started as a simple prototype I built for my own use has grown into a tool that can be used by other coaches and leagues looking to simplify evaluation creation and sharing.

Built for How You Work

Whether you're running evaluations solo or coordinating across an entire league, Ridge Rank adapts to your needs.

For Coaches

Draft the best team possible with data-driven player evaluations.

  • Build your winning roster: Evaluate players during tryouts and use rankings to make confident draft picks.
  • Collaborate with your coaching staff: Invite assistant coaches to evaluate independently, then combine scores for a complete picture.
  • Track player development: Keep evaluation history to see how players improve season over season.
  • Eliminate spreadsheet chaos: No more misaligned rows or lost clipboard papers. Everything syncs in real-time.

For Leagues

Run fair, consistent evaluations across your entire organization.

  • Build balanced teams: Share evaluation data across all coaches to create fair, competitive divisions.
  • Standardize your process: Create consistent evaluation forms that every coach uses, ensuring apples-to-apples comparisons.
  • Manage multiple evaluators: Have league officials, coaches, or volunteers all contribute scores to the same evaluation event.
  • Centralized player directory: Maintain a single roster across seasons. Import once, reuse every year.
Common Scenarios

Travel team tryouts: One coach evaluates 50 players to select a 12-player roster.

Rec league draft: League shares scores so coaches can snake-draft balanced teams.

Multi-coach evaluation: Three coaches rate the same players, and scores are averaged automatically.

Season-over-season tracking: Compare a player's skills from spring to fall tryouts.

The Complete Player Evaluation Platform

Streamline your entire evaluation process with a flexible, web-based solution. From customizable scoring forms and real-time data entry to multi-coach collaboration and season-over-season tracking, Ridge Rank gives coaches and leagues the insights they need to make better decisions.

Customizable Evaluation Forms

Build evaluation forms that match exactly how you assess players. Create custom categories (hitting, fielding, attitude), choose from multiple input types (1-5 ratings, measurements, checkboxes, notes), and reuse templates across seasons. Leagues can standardize forms so every coach evaluates the same criteria.

Evaluate From Any Device

No app downloads required. Open Ridge Rank in any browser on your phone, tablet, or laptop and start evaluating immediately. Data syncs in real-time, so you'll never lose a score. Perfect for field-side evaluations where you need quick, reliable data entry.

Multi-Evaluator Collaboration

Invite assistant coaches, league officials, or volunteers to contribute their scores. Each evaluator works independently without seeing others' ratings, eliminating bias. The evaluation manager sees all scores compiled together with averaged rankings. Share a simple link or send email invitations to get your team evaluating in minutes.

Rankings & Player History

See instant player rankings based on your scoring criteria. Coaches can identify top draft picks at a glance, while leagues can ensure fair team distribution. Player data persists across seasons, so you can track development over time and compare tryout performances year over year. Export results to PDF or share with your organization.
