DraftTime for Soccer

Objective Tryouts for Every Position on the Pitch

Timed sprints, agility courses, juggling counts and positional ratings — run tryouts where every player is measured the same way and placements are defensible.

  • Station-Based Tryouts
  • Positional Ratings
  • Balanced Teams

The Workflow

How DraftTime Works for Soccer

From registration through results — the full Soccer operating cycle on one platform.

  1. 01

    Register & Segment

    Age or grade eligibility with a configurable cutoff date, divisions from 8U through 19U, waivers and payments online — one permanent profile per player.

  2. 02

    Run Tryouts

    Stations for sprints, agility, dribbling courses and juggling, plus positional skill ratings scored on any device — with the embedded speed timer for timed drills.

  3. 03

    Score & Rank

    Blind scoring keeps evaluators independent; weighted metrics emphasize what your club values, and percentile rankings compare the full tryout pool.

  4. 04

    Build Teams

    Auto-generate balanced teams from Performance Lab scores, or run a live draft — with roster lock and audited placement history.

Registration & Athlete Profiles

Every Athlete, One Permanent Record

Registration

Age or grade eligibility rules with a configurable cutoff date, divisions you define, capacity limits with waitlists, and family/sibling discounts.

Athlete Profiles

Positions from goalkeeper to striker, dominant foot and prior club experience captured via custom program questions, photos and achievements — one permanent profile per player.

Performance Lab

Soccer Performance Lab Templates

A typical DraftTime soccer tryout template:

MetricMeasured AsNotes
30m Sprint lower is bettertime · seconds—
5-10-5 Agility lower is bettertime · seconds—
Dribble Course lower is bettertime · seconds—
Juggling (max)count—
Passing Accuracypercentage—
First Touch Ratingrating1–10 scale
Defending Ratingrating1–10 scale
Finishing RatingratingPosition-specific

Build any of these with DraftTime's Performance Lab template builder — tryout, practice, game and camp templates with custom metric types, multiple attempts, position-specific scoring and 1–5, 1–10 or 1–100 scales. Timed drills can run on the embedded speed timer.

Event Day

Check-In, Stations & Live Operations

The same event engine runs Performance Lab sessions, tryouts, camps, clinics and meets.

Event Day & Check-In

Every Soccer event runs on the same operational engine. Families register online and each registration receives its own check-in QR code. On event day, staff scan athletes in at the gate with optional photo capture, add walk-ups on site, and track every station, evaluator and athlete in real time from Mission Control.

Scoring Workflow

Evaluators score from any device at their station, and blind scoring keeps results hidden until submission so each judge works independently. A head evaluator can review and override with a recorded reason. Weighted metrics and position-specific scoring let your Soccer staff emphasize exactly what matters for each position group.

Rankings & Results

Percentile rankings and Performance Lab scores rank the full tryout pool, live leaderboards update during the event and can be made public, and automated result emails reach every family.

Team Building

Drafting & Rosters

Placement tools for programs that form teams from Performance Lab results.

Draft & Team Building

The Balanced Team Builder forms fair, competitive teams from tryout scores automatically — or run a live draft with a public viewing mode, with roster lock for final placements.

Season Operations

Everything Around the Performance Lab

Communications

Targeted email and SMS with per-recipient delivery tracking and a full communication history. Send to filtered groups by division, program or event — and after every Soccer event, automated result emails reach each family automatically.

Payments & Registration Management

Online Soccer registration with Stripe or PayPal checkout, Save & Pay Later for families who need time, family/sibling discounts, coupon codes and scholarships, payment plans, and parent-ready invoices and receipts that carry the registration's check-in QR code.

Development & Athlete History

Sprint times, skill ratings and placement history trend season over season on each player's permanent profile, with AI development plans built from their measured results.

The Whole Organization

Families & Administrators

Parent & Family Experience

Parents register in minutes, receive automated confirmations and result emails, view public leaderboards when you enable them, and follow their athlete's Soccer development on a permanent profile that travels across seasons and organizations.

Administrative Tools

Role-based staff permissions (Commissioner, Director, Division Director, Coach, Evaluator, Check-In Staff, Finance and more), a full audit log of sensitive actions, custom division eligibility rules with a configurable age cutoff date, capacity limits and waitlists, white-label branding, and your own public organization website — one place to run Soccer.
