Scheduling your scouts can be done on-line with scouts allocated to tournaments or matches at home or abroad.

Match reports and player assessments are all entered online ensuring that all your scouting intelligence is safe and secure and in the one place. Where scouts prefer to send in paper reports, these can be scanned and attached to the match.

Because PlayerPro is a web-based database, your scouts can access PlayerPro to see their schedules and file match reports and player assessments from any place with internet access. This could be from home, a hotel room or literally anywhere if they have mobile broadband (and good reception!).

To ensure that no time is lost in the process, the moment a player has been identified as a prospect an email is automatically generated and sent back to the Academy for immediate action.

Over time, you will build up your own invaluable database of prospects and potential Academy recruits. The Chief Scout and Academy Manager can easily access matches and players where there is perhaps a shortage of certain players in the Academy or can follow up an agent enquiry where a player has been viewed.

This information is always accessible instead of being hidden in filing cabinets, on individual's PCs or in individual's heads. Even when scouts leave, you can be sure that the intelligence and information they have gathered remains with the club. Next: Coaching
