Utilizing Athlete Tags

Tags help you organize athletes in ways that make the most sense for your program. Whether it’s tracking recruiting stage, academic fit, interest level, or other custom criteria, tags let you categorize and filter athletes across events and rosters.

If you’re just getting started with tags, this guide walks you through the onboarding flow, creating your first tag groups, and managing tags once they’re in place.

For a complete overview of where and how to use tags across EventBeacon, see our Tags article for details on using tags in the Games tab, Athletes tab, and athlete profiles.

Creating Tags: Onboarding Flow

If your program does not yet have any tags, the first coach to access tagging will be prompted to set them up.

To get started:

1. Click Create Your First Tag Group

   Choose to:

   • Create a custom tag group, or
   • Select a suggested tag group

Suggested Tag Groups

EventBeacon provides several ready-to-use tag group templates:

• In State → Yes, No
• Recruiting Stage → Prospect, High Potential, Commit
• Stage of Interest → Committed Elsewhere, No Interest, Low Interest, High Interest, Committed to Our Program
• Status → Seen Play, Completed Questionnaire, Applied, Visited Us
• Stage of Conversation → Emailed, Phone Call, Set Up Visit, Visited Us
• Qualifiers → High GPA, Academic Fit, Star Player
• Symbols → ❤️, ♠️, 🔸, ♣️
• Numbers → 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

You can fully customize any suggested group by:

• Renaming the group
• Switching between Single Select or Multi Select
• Editing or adding tags
   

Editing and Managing Tags

At any time, coaches can:

• Add or remove tags from athletes
• Edit existing tag groups
• Create new tag groups

All tag groups are program-specific, meaning:

• Every coach on your staff sees the same tags
• Changes apply across all events and devices
