Squad Timing

Android application Squad Timing developed by Paul Schorey is listed under category Sports. The current version, updated on 09/05/2019 . According to Google Play Squad Timing achieved more than 10 installs.

Squad Timing allows coaches, parents, and athletes to easily time and record track and field meet performances for individuals and teams both large and small.

Unlike most stopwatches, with Squad Timing, events you choose will progress in an order that you customize. As splits are taken for each event you simply tap the "plus" icon and then choose your athlete from the roster that you have created or uploaded via a .csv file. The athlete's name, place, time, and your comments will all be saved in the app and you can then choose to save the spreadsheet to your device for easy sharing or editing if you choose.

I've been a track coach for over 12 years now and the idea for this app developed from my recent experience coaching over 100 athletes each season for the past few years. I feel like keeping good records for meet performances is vital to help kids and the team succeed. Now, with this app, instead of having several coaches at the finish line recording lap splits and writing down results, one person with this Squad Timing on their phone or tablet can quickly and efficiently save accurate times for every event and every member of your team (even when they are in the same race). The best part of Squad Timing is that after the meet is over, you can save the results spreadsheet to your files and not need to spend precious time re-recording handwritten results.

The default track and field (or Cross Country) events in Squad Timing are: 4x800m Relay, 100m Hurdles, 110m Hurdles, 100m Dash, 1600m Run, 4x100m Relay, 400m Dash, 300m Hurdles, 800m Run, 200m Dash, 3200m Run, 4x400m Relay, High Jump, Long Jump, Shot Put, Discus, Pole Vault.

Alternate events that can be included if you choose are: Trials for all the sprints, 400m Hurdles, 2000m Steeplechase, 3000m Steeplechase, 1500m Run, 3000m Run, (5k, 5000m Run), (10k, 10,000m Run), Triple Jump, Hammer Throw, Javelin Throw, Distance Medley Relay, Sprint Medley Relay, 4x200m Relay, 4x1500m Relay, 4x1600m Relay, Shuttle Hurdle Relay, 60m Dash, 60m Hurdles, 50m Dash, 50m Hurdles, 55m Dash, 55m Hurdles, 100y Dash, Mile Run.

All events can be reordered in any way that you choose, this makes the stopwatch very convenient for coaches to record your entire team’s results as the meet progress. You can also alternate the events by gender if you coach both male and female athletes.

I know how hard sprint, distance, XC, and field events coaches work each season and I hope this app can help make your life a bit easier and your team a bit faster. I would love to hear any suggestions or ideas that you have for the app to help make it better for your needs.

If you have any questions, suggestions, or bugs to report please email me at squadtiming@gmail.com and I will see what I can do.

(The csv file is saved in the com.squadtiming.squadtiming data folder on your Android device.)
