Case Study: Gymnastics Australia reduces assessment time with Katalyst Interactive's remote athlete assessment app

Gymnastics Australia scales athlete assessments with Katalyst Interactive and 50,000+ video uploads

Gymnastics Australia, the national governing body for the sport, faced a challenge in efficiently finding future Olympians. Their manual, in-person assessment process was resource-intensive, demanding extensive travel and administrative work with spreadsheets. They partnered with Katalyst Interactive to workshop and develop a technological solution to reduce this overhead and scale their operations.

Katalyst developed a custom remote assessment application that allowed coaches to upload video routines from their phones. This eliminated the need for travel, decentralized the assessment process to specialized judges, and automated reporting. The solution by Katalyst led to over 50,000 assessments, greatly reduced administration costs, and provided a holistic view of each athlete. Its success attracted other sports, including Diving Australia, which had a similar system built.
