How the Star Rating System Works
Athletes Pitch uses a transparent, criteria-based star rating system to help clubs and scouts filter and evaluate athletes quickly. Star ratings are earned through performance history, verified match context, and consistent progression - not popularity.
1 Star – Emerging
For athletes who are building a verified performance record.
Minimum requirements:
• Profile completed
• Verified match entries
• At least one performance-linked video
2 Star – Competitive
For athletes showing consistent performance signals in meaningful competition.
Indicators:
• Multiple verified match entries
• Repeat statistical contribution
• Higher-level competition participation (provincial or national)
3 Star – Proven Impact
For athletes showing measurable influence and progression over time.
Indicators:
• Repeated high-level performance
• Strong statistical influence
• Coach/club validation Document
Star ratings improve with consistent performance data over time. Athletes Pitch is a tool for visibility and evaluation - not a guarantee of selection.
A Coach’s Perspective
Coach Eugene “Loffie” Eloff supports the Athletes Pitch approach because talent without context is noise. Structured performance, match-linked video, and progression history help coaches and scouts evaluate athletes fairly.
“Performance must be measurable. Context is everything.”
