How to Use Player Evaluation Forms

1. Coaches must complete page 2 first. 2. Page 2 Six major categories have been assigned (Mentality, Tactical Awareness, Communication, Confidence, Athleticism, Technique) The coach must first assign a % to each major category depending on what he/she feels are most important traits. Example coach may feel that technique should be assigned 30%, tactical awareness 30%, athleticism 10% etc, etc. The total must add to 100%. The % assigned to each category will change depending on the age and ability of the players and will vary depending on the coachs philosophy. The % assigned must be entered in the right hand column on page 2. 3. Within each major category 5-6 sub-headings exist. For example Athleticism contains: Endurance Pure Speed Mobility Jumping ability Flexibility Each of these sub-headings must be assigned a score on a scale of 1-6, with 6 being the highest score. These scores are averaged to give the score for the Athleticism category. The score should be entered into the Grade line on the right of page 2. This is repeated with each major category. 4. Multiply the Grade by the assigned % to provide a score for each major category. These scores are added to give a Total Score. Enter the total score to the corresponding line on the table on page 1. Match Score (Page 1) After each match players are assigned a score on a 1-6 scale. These scores are averaged over a period of time (could be per month, season, year etc.) The average score is entered on the appropriate line on page 1. Training Score (Page 1) After each training session players are given a score on a 1-6 scale. These scores are averaged over a period of time (could be a week, season, year etc). The average score is entered on the appropriate line on page 1. Finally, add the corresponding score form the table on page 1 with the Match and Training score. Divide this by 3 to get the players average for all 3 scores this will provide the players TOTAL SCORE. Use this TOTAL SCORE to refer back to the table on page 1. This will provide an estimate of the players current level of play.
