At the end of each season, Head coaches & Assistant Coaches should prepare the attached evaluation form for each player on your team.  This form provides an opportunity for you to reflect on your players development and progress from beginning of the year.  The form allows you to assess your players abilities based on following criteria:

1 - Weak  - new players who may struggle with technical/tactical area being evaluated.  This may simply be a lack of physical growth hampering development, or spacial awareness skills which have not been developed at this age.  Typically younger age players new to the game and may have never played any sports at this point.  

2 - Under development - player has made development progress , may show some hints of potential but needs further development

3 - Competent - player demonstrates competent ability in the technical or tactical area but may still require more work to get to targeted achievement level 4

4 - Good - This player demonstrates good skills which have clearly been developed and shows that prior training has helped improve to this point

5 - Outstanding - exceeds most other players in areas of development.
