The brief
A youth football academy ran player scouting on paper and scattered spreadsheets. Observers filled in evaluation sheets from the sidelines; staff needed to search, compare, and rank the players being watched from one place, not from whoever had the latest file.
What it does
- Mobile-first observation forms: scouts score players across eight common axes plus role-specific detail, straight from the field
- Player profiles with a radar chart built from weighted scores across every report, and cross-role score composition when a player has been watched in more than one position
- Ranking always scoped to a role and category — never an absolute list — and side-by-side comparison of up to three players
- Duplicate detection on player creation, admin tools for merging records, and time-boxed observer weights so a scout's track record feeds the ranking
How it's built
Next.js 16 App Router with TypeScript, Tailwind v4 and shadcn/ui on
@base-ui/react for the interface. Supabase backs a multi-tenant Postgres
schema secured with row-level security, with roles separating scouts from
managers and admins. Deployed to Vercel with separate production and
staging environments through GitHub Actions.
Status
In production use with a real academy, including a one-time import of their historical paper archive into the same schema. Still under active development.
The project handles a real club's data, including minors, so the repository and any live URL stay off the public portfolio.
