Sheets everywhere, no overview
Each scout takes notes in their own way, in a notebook, a spreadsheet or a voice message. The coordinator pieces the puzzle together on Sunday evening.
Player Scouting encodes your club’s methodology and puts it in every scout’s pocket. Regista, its assistant, reviews each report pitchside, and your published needs attract the players who fit.

The reality
Youth scouting gets lost between three tools and two WhatsApp groups.
Decisions based on an impression
A player seen once by an enthusiastic scout gets ahead of a player seen three times by three cautious scouts. Nothing measures consistency.
A methodology that lives in a PDF
The club has defined what it expects for each position. On the pitch, no one has it in front of them.
How it works
Spotting, ranking, missions, validation. Your process, with the right tools.
Spot
The scout fills in their sheet pitchside in a few minutes: five quick axes, then detailed position criteria. The contact book captures informal spotting and turns it into a sheet in a single action.
Rank
The A/B/C/D ranking by position and category builds itself from ratings, weighted according to your club's prerequisites. The top four form the priority pool; when one signs elsewhere, the next one moves up.
Verify
A player is only eligible after three validated missions, ideally by different scouts. The app counts, alerts when a promising profile remains stuck at two, and suggests sending another scout.
Decide
The weekly briefing brings together what is awaiting a decision, the highlighted players, and the weekend matches. The monthly meeting is prepared on a single screen.
Who it's for
Three roles, three screens, one single tool.
The scout
A home screen that tells him what to do, a schedule with the route, a quick sheet, his mission counter. Nothing else.
The coordinator
His scope, 8-a-side or 11-a-side football, his ranking, his meeting preparation, his alerts. And his own sheet when he scouts.
The recruitment manager
Full oversight: decisions, coverage, team pulse, scout pay, month-end close.
Connection to Google Calendar
Each scout can, if they wish, connect their Google account. Player Scouting then creates a separate calendar in their Google Calendar named “Player Scouting” and keeps their missions up to date: date, time, location, route and reminder before departure.
The application only requests permission to manage the calendars it creates itself (calendar.app.created) and the account's email address, to display it. It does not read or modify any other calendar or any other event. The connection can be removed at any time from the application (“Disconnect”) or from the Google account.
Details in the privacy policyWho is behind Player Scouting
Two founders, two sides of the pitch.
Massimo · Product and method
Youth recruitment manager at a Belgian professional club, he deals every week with the problems Player Scouting solves: scattered sheets, decisions made on an impression, a methodology that no one has in front of them at the edge of the pitch. He designed the tool for his own department before turning it into a product.
Paco · Field and clubs
A former professional player, he knows scouting from the other side: first as the player being watched, then as the player being developed. He supports each club in encoding its methodology and training its scouts. He is the one you will meet.
Player Scouting is published in Belgium by IMS Advisor. Data is hosted in Europe.

Frequently asked questions
Before you start.
Do we need to change how we scout?
No. The tool encodes your existing method. What changes is that it becomes visible and measurable.
Who encodes our methodology?
Paco, with your recruitment manager and your coordinators, in a one-week workshop. The starting model is neutral; what comes out is yours, and it is never reused for another club.
Where is the data hosted?
In Europe. Data on minor players is subject to strict role-based access rules, applied at the database level.
Our scouts are not comfortable with technology.
The field sheet was designed with volunteer scouts, for a thumb and a weak connection. One training session is enough.
Can it be used for another sport?
The architecture allows it. Football is the first sport covered.
How long does it take to get started?
Two weeks: one to encode your methodology with us, one to train the team.
