How MaxPreps Fits Into High School Volleyball
(And How Loggerhead Makes It Easier)
If you’ve coached high school volleyball for more than a season, you’ve probably spent time on MaxPreps. Whether you’re entering scores after a match, checking an opponent’s record, or reviewing player statistics, MaxPreps has become one of the most recognizable platforms in high school sports.
But while MaxPreps is an excellent destination for publishing statistics, it wasn’t designed to be your primary stat collection tool during a live match. That’s where Loggerhead comes in.
What Is MaxPreps?
MaxPreps serves as one of the largest databases for high school athletics in the United States. Schools, coaches, athletic directors, and fans use it to:
• Publish match results
• Track team records
• View season schedules
• Compare opponents
• Display player statistics
• Follow postseason standings
For many schools, maintaining an accurate MaxPreps profile is an important part of showcasing the team’s accomplishments throughout the season.
The Challenge With Entering Stats
The difficult part isn’t viewing statistics. It’s collecting them accurately.
Many coaches still rely on paper stat sheets or simple tally marks during a match. After the final whistle, someone has to manually total every kill, assist, dig, ace, block, reception error, and service error before entering everything into MaxPreps.
That process can take nearly as long as the match itself.
It also introduces opportunities for mistakes. A missed tally or math error can affect a player’s season statistics and create hours of extra work.
Loggerhead Does the Heavy Lifting
Loggerhead was designed to capture volleyball statistics while the match is happening.
Instead of reconstructing the match afterward, every touch is logged in real time. By the end of the match you already have:
• Individual player statistics
• Team statistics
• Rotation analytics
• Plus/minus data
• Passing grades
• Match summaries
• Detailed reports
Because the data is collected live, there’s no need to spend your evening adding columns on a paper stat sheet.
Export Directly for MaxPreps
One of Loggerhead’s most useful features for high school coaches is the ability to export your match statistics into a MaxPreps-compatible upload file.
Rather than manually typing statistics into MaxPreps after every match, Loggerhead generates the export file for you. Simply upload it to MaxPreps and your player statistics are ready to go.
It’s a small feature that can save hours over the course of a season.
Spend Less Time Behind a Computer
Most coaches would rather spend their time:
• Planning practice
• Watching film
• Talking with players
• Preparing for the next opponent
Not entering hundreds of statistics after every match.
Loggerhead lets you finish your stat work before you leave the gym.
The Best of Both Worlds
MaxPreps remains an excellent platform for sharing your team’s accomplishments with players, parents, recruiters, and fans.
Loggerhead complements that workflow by making the collection of those statistics faster, easier, and significantly more accurate.
Use Loggerhead during the match. Export your stats when the match is over. Upload them to MaxPreps in minutes instead of hours.
That’s less paperwork, fewer errors, and more time spent coaching the game you love.
