Proper player evaluations are key to having balanced teams from year-to-year. We depend on accurate input from the coaches to achieve this balance. All coaches in all age groups are required to fill out a Player Ratings entry for every player on their team. Some guidelines on proper ratings are provided below.
U10 and above coaches must complete and successfully submit their player ratings on-line by February 4th in order to receive their picture packets and tournament schedules on February 5th. U6/U8 teams must also complete their rating sheets by February 4th in order to receive picture packets on the February 5th and February 6th.
Ratings must be done via our on-line system. This is updated to include your current roster as listed in our records. Please review the Guidelines below before filling them out. Only one coach should fill out the form - usually the Head Coach. Select from your teams at the bottom of this page.
How to Use the Online System
|
- |
Remember to rate your players in comparison to other players in the same age-group as you have seen during games and practices. Every age-group, whether U6 or U14, will have several 1's (superior), a few 5's (poor) and everything in between. |
- |
Remember that a '1' is the best rating, and '5' is poor. |
- |
The average rating for almost all teams should be a '3'. That means that you have a few 1's, several 2's, lots of 3's several 4's and a couple of 5's on the sheet. If you average all of the numbers on the page, it should be around 2.5 for teams that won most of their games, around 3 for average teams, and around 3.5 for teams that lost most of their games. |
- |
If we receive a sheet improperly filled out (such as all ratings 1 and 2 without any 3's 4's or 5's) or incomplete (without all 7 columns filled out), you will be asked to resubmit it. |
- |
Remember to fill in the players' best position using the codes provided, and their alternate position. Positions and goal-keeper ratings are not needed for U6 teams. |
- |
These do take some time to complete properly. The head coach and assistant should sit down together for a while and put some thought into the process. |
- |
These ratings sheets determine the balance of next year's teams. If you want balanced teams next season, be sure to be accurate and fair on these sheets. |
