Does you
organization implement year round assessment for your
players aged 4-18 years old?
Assessment has its
place - it should be used at scheduled intervals to make
a difference for learning. The concepts of assessment
and evaluation regularly cause concern and are
uncomfortable topics. This is no truer than in a youth
sports environment where assessment is often misused and
typically associated with selection. In soccer,
assessment means tryouts and tryouts are designed to
answer one question – are you good enough to make the
team? Re-think your assessment process.
