SkillShark Alternative
Built for Fair Teams
Evaluate players, run the draft, and build balanced rosters in one place. Bravara turns scores into teams without per-athlete pricing or spreadsheet cleanup.
No credit card • Unlimited players, teams, and evaluators
SkillShark reports on athletes. Bravara turns scores into teams.
SkillShark is strong for evaluation events and athlete feedback. Bravara is built for leagues that need the next step: a draft, balanced rosters, and fewer hours fixing teams by hand.
League pricing, not athlete blocks
Bravara starts free, and Premium is just $1.85 per player, per season — billed only for players you actually evaluate or place on teams. SkillShark paid plans are listed at $5, $10, or $15 per athlete per year.
A draft, not just a draft report
Bravara gives leagues a live Draft Manager where players are assigned to teams as the draft happens and balance stays visible.
Auto-build the actual rosters
Use scores plus siblings, friend requests, schools, coach kids, volunteer roles, positions, and roster limits to build balanced teams.
Mobile evaluations
Collect scores in the field, then use those scores immediately when it is time to draft or build teams.
Built for whole leagues
Bravara paid plans include unlimited players, teams, and evaluators, so growth does not turn every roster update into a pricing decision.
Focused on fair teams
Athlete reports are useful for development programs. Rec leagues usually need balanced teams, clear decisions, and less spreadsheet cleanup.

What Our Customers Are Saying
We have about 900 players in our league, we do assessments and a draft for over 40 of our teams. Bravara was a huge time, energy and paper saver for us, so much better than the old way!
Our league has used the same old system for years and that all changed with Bravara. This app made our assessment and draft process a breeze. With Bravara there is no need for a pen and paper, which our staff really enjoyed. We will definitely be using the app in the many seasons to come. Thanks Bravara!
The application saved us a significant amount of time and contributed to forming balanced teams, which is always a win for our league. I also want to give a huge shoutout to Brian and Mike. The level of customer service they provided was second to none.
I find it pretty remarkable that we made the decision to use Bravara just a week before our evals, and then had the smoothest/easiest evaluation process we've ever had.
