Transcribe your school record book into a digital record board
The record book is usually a binder or a typed document kept by one coach, with years of edits in the margins. Rocket can enter the agreed records so they become a digital record board your staff can update when a mark falls.

Why it matters
One binder holds every record, and one coach holds the binder
Record books collect handwritten updates, crossed-out marks and sticky notes over the decades. When the coach who kept it retires, nobody is sure which version is right. Students and families rarely get to see the records at all.
Ideas for Record Book Transcription
Records by sport and event
Organize marks by sport, then event, so a swimmer can find the 100 free without scrolling.
Holder, mark, year and meet
Capture the same fields for every record so the board reads consistently.
Team and individual records
Keep team bests separate from individual marks to avoid confusion.
Previous holders
Showing who held a record before adds history, if your book tracks it.
Girls’ and boys’ records together
Give both programs the same layout and the same attention.
Records beyond athletics
Academic team or music competition bests can sit in their own section.

Record Book Transcription tips
Merge all versions first
Collect the binder, the spreadsheet and any coach’s private list so there is one source.
Settle disputed marks early
Decide how to handle records with conflicting times or dates before entry starts.
Assign a coach per sport
Each head coach reviews their own records, which spreads the checking load.
Plan how new records get added
Agree who updates the board after a record falls so it doesn’t drift out of date.
