What is PlayMetrics and what can members expect from the transition to the platform? PlayMetrics is a soccer-specific software that started as a soccer operations system before becoming a registration system. Compared to systems used in past seasons, PlayMetrics will provide an improved communication, operations, and technical infrastructure for CRYSC players, coaches, and families. Transitioning to PlayMetrics in 2022 will reduce the number of software applications our organization uses, while improving the foundations of supporting our members and coaches. The PlayMetrics platform offers:
- Improved communication across all levels of the organization and within your team;
- A more user-friendly interface online and in the app;
- An improved mobile app experience;
- Curriculum integration with depth charts and player evaluations;
- Coach and player profiles for long-term tracking;
- Improved field management and game schedules;
- Improved customer service and support; and much more...
*Both recreational and competitive families will be using PlayMetrics this fall, with more information to come for our recreational families on Monday, May 2!
