Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some things we get asked a lot.
FAQ's I
Sportstrack is platform designed to record, review and reward individual’s personal performances, then rank them in one giant big league for the world to see.
Sportstrack is a Global Sports League designed to inspire you to become the most active and successful sports person you can be. It will allow you to share your successes with other members around the world.
Sportstrack was created by teachers for teachers and their students. The league benefits both teachers and coaches as a reference tool to effectively measure the success and progress of students by comparing and ranking them against their peers at other schools or sports clubs.
Diddly zip, zilch, zero… it’s free to join and best of all we plan to get sponsors will provide monthly prizes, awarded to the top performers based on effort and personal best times.
Any age from 6 years old through to 19 years old!
Anyone sporty or non sporty, healthy or… not so much. We want to incentivize everyone! With mental health and physical health issues on the rise, a P.E. tool like Sportstrack can help us get fitter, healthier and happier. At Sportstrack we know the benefits of motivation through competition and use a gaming culture of scoring, posting and comparing results with others. A unique active tracker-graph on each students profile page automatically updates every time new sports activity data is entered. Gamification encourages motivation and that’s how we improve performance.
Sportstrack has a comprehensive and strict Privacy Policy to ensure all data is securely stored and accessed by registered users only. The site is designed to protect the personal information of our members and champions.
.
Data is entered/posted by registered students and then verified by their teachers/coaches. Timekeeping standards and a code of conduct are expected to be followed at all times.
Students that join, become members (champions) of a community that share experiences, post their performances, and challenge and compete against each other. They can improve their individual performances by training and competing against fellow league members or champions as we refer to them. Each champion is rewarded for their efforts and their personal best performances.
We wanted to find a way to record the fastest children on the planet. Everyone knows the fastest professional athletes but who are the fastest students or amateurs? The point is, it allows children the chance to improve their running or swimming times all year round, not just on School Sports Day! The idea being we can record, review, reward and rank them all year round.
FAQ II
