SoloStats 123 Volleyball App Reviews

Testimonial: I have been using SoloStats for 3 years now and have found it an easy to use, affordable way to track my teams. This year, I had a few issues with my renewal, some were my fault, and the customer support provided by Kyle was awesome. He worked through all my issues in a timely manner. Thank you. I will definitely share my experiences other coaches!

Records and keeps track of all my players stats! Easy to use once you learn it.

Very hard to use. Not user friendly and doesnt show rotation. IStat is way better

Collecting and reviewing statistics of your team and players have been stressed at every volleyball coaching clinic I have ever attended (CAP I, CAP II, Gold Medal Squared Advanced, Rick Butler Coaching Clinics, USAV, JVDA and AVCA webinars) and I agree with those recommendations. So in my previous seasons of coaching club, I have utilized various assistant coaches, parents, and myself to tally mark on sheets of paper and then transfer those tallies to various spreadsheets I have received from others or built myself for further analysis and use. It is often late at night or very early in the morning that I have spent consolidating the tally marks during a 3 day tournament. I have been an early tester of this software and my experience with SoloStats 123 has been excellent. Once I got some practice under my belt using the program, I was able to simultaneously actively coach the game while recording the error or success detail of each rally (point for or against by player and by skill). I have found that working with Junior age groups, most of the feedback needed during a match or tournament is how to adjust to reduce mistakes and increase success in a particular rotation or through adjusting who is "on" versus who is struggling. . Solostats 123 gives me important information by player, by rotation, by opponent and much more. It also has allowed me to provide valuable feedback to various players throughout the tournament day and as the season has progressed. It gives me facts to make adjustments between sets or from one match to another. The associated online web reports I use after each tournament allows me to look even closer at the team and individual player performance to adjust my practice plan and perhaps tweak my lineups going forward. I believe that this software gives me everything I need to know in a match or during a tourney (serve aces and errors, attack kills and errors, points gained by rotation, passing error % by player, etc). Also the program allows me to see the running score and who should be serving next. (A very good thing when the inevitable parent shouting "scores wrong" is heard in the background and you discover the flipper or scorekeeper is tweeting on their phone). I find this app to be a great value and an important tool for the busy coach of today. I recommend it for all levels of coaching.

Ill never go back to my paper stat sheet again. It takes me no time at all to prepare for the match, allows me to stat and coach without interruption and calculates so much for me! Between games I can quickly see positive and negative points in the game and what each player is doing. I can see which rotations are struggling and which players are helping us and hurting us the most. With so many matches in one day at a club tournament this is valuable information I am getting in seconds! Love it!

Amazing! Simple..yet so helpful. Highly recommended, especially if you are a Solo volleyball coach.

Very easy to use without distracting you from the play on the court. Highly recommend this app for coaches of all levels.

I have used the program at 3 separate tournaments while coaching at the same time. The program is easy to use while youre watching the games. After reviewing the data, it has been very helpful to determine where to focus our attention for practice, as well as to see how the players have improved even over the course of a few weeks. The only info you dont get are the great passes and digs prior to the end point, but that may not matter in the long run. I would highly recommend this program to all coaches.

VB coaching is most often one coach w/ 10-12 players. Taking live stats was impossible until now. While you dont get every contact w/ SoloStats123, you get the last one! Further, the robust analysis programmed behind the simple data collection makes this tool uniquely helpful for a one coach operation.

Outstanding. SoloStats gives coaches the ability to COACH and stat at the same time. The WebReports feature gives more information than any coach could ever compile on their own and requires no extra time. Perfect for the coach who wants to do more with less. The Art of Coaching Volleyball

Let me point out the obvious; the App is free for thirty days. If you dont care for it, the creators of this app are all ears about your feedback. I encourage you to contact them if you like, or dislike the current app. The two guys are great dudes, and appreciate feedback, negative AND POSITIVE as well. The customer service these guys provide is almost as if they are building the app for you. People have to make money, so if you can look past the cost, youll truly get an understanding of the service these guys provide. This is a plain and simple app here, not anything extravagant and busy on the screen. Its simple and efficient, as I would think any coach/statistician would want it to be as they are progressing theyre way through the match. Im not the best organized coach, so being able to calculate the numbers in a quick efficient manner helps out a bunch. If you are in a situation where youre coaching solo, and your parents are not the best of help then SoloStats 123 is the way to go. Take it from me, Ive tried the few apps that are out there, and I feel this one works for me because its very simple, and I like keeping it simple during the chaos of a tournament. Furthermore, I definitely encourage everyone to check out their other product at ROTATE123.com for rotation optimization. If you are a volleyball coach, you definitely need this product in your toolbox.

I used to use paper and pencil to do this. Now it is just a tap and everything is tallied! Highly recommended

SoloStat 1-2-3 Review SoloStat 1-2-3 gathers stats on the last contact of a rally only, much like the Plus/Minus stats that many coaches are already taking but is now nearly fully automated. This reduces the number of stats one needs to take in a match considerably and allows you focuses only on the skill, good or bad, that ended the rally for or against your team--the most important stat The app is easy to set up and easy to implement. The stand alone provides some rudimentary stats, such as points won/lost per rotation, net points for each player that played on your roster and a point log. The app costs $19.99 per year, a bit steep. The fact that you have a subscription for the app is a real turnoff. It means that you have to fork over $20 a year to use the same app year after year. Yuk! And at $20 a year you cant even share the data with your coaches! There are no print or export features to your computer. This is a real killer. However, for another $20 a year, you get much enhanced stats online. Data is now exported not to your computer, but to an online facility. However, the big downside of this is that in a lot of gyms you rarely can get a cellphone/iPad carrier signal. Also many iPad only have WiFi, and at all of the gyms Ive been in, the wifi is not available to outsiders. So here you have collected stats that are nearly inaccessible on the road where you need them most. Then when you get home, the additional fee makes it much less desirable to own, especially for club or high school coaches who have to purchases these niceties with their own private funds. The online data is available for downloading and printing though. The bottom-line is if you can afford $40 a year, SoloStat 1-2-3 is a great app. Personally I hate subscriptions/leases, as who knows when theyll raise the yearly fee, especially after you get dependent upon it.

Great app! A few tweaks could be made and it would be great if you could customize your stat layout. Like edit things to say what you want on the taps and rearrange the tiers of errors etc to speed up the stat taking ability. Great start though!!

This app is great for stats and easy to use. I love All the extras like "net points" and what happened each point in the point log

I agree with VBNE1?. It truly makes stat taking much easier and quicker. I wouldnt mind the $20 per year IF I could actually see the stats for the match. I only used this once because when I was finished with the match I had to tally up the stats from each game to get the match stats to send into the newspaper. It seems like it would be an easy fix, but to this date, still no match stats. Please fix this. I know that many other teams are using VBTAP, but this program, with one seemingly minor fix, would easily surpass all their competition. So close, yet so far.

I use this app for my daughters club and middle school VB team. It is easy to use and very customizable. The reports and statistics for each player and rotation are so valuable. The coaches use it to create detailed practice plans and for rotation optimization. The company has been very responsive to my questions and quick to help with whatever my need was. I highly recommend this app.

This is only a 7 day trial then they want you to pay a subscription fee.

I reviewed the app and it seemed like it would serve my purpose well, but when I agreed to purchase the $4.99 annual plan the app was not able to start up. It jus keeps saying that it cannot connect to the iTunes Store. I want y money back.

Got to see it work at the AVCA in Seattle. Got it and it has really help us use stats to improve the way I coach as well as manage a match. Simple to use and linking with video has become a great way to show our players what happened on a particular point. My players now want to know their stats in game and at practice.
