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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.
