Youth Soccer Assessment Tool (Y-SAT™) -
FREE* |
SoccerPlus FC offers a unique approach to evaluating the
needs of the youth soccer organization. Using a
proprietary assessment tool, the Y-SAT, a SoccerPlus FC
Consultant conducts an in-depth assessment of the
organizations needs by focusing on five areas: 1)
Coaching, 2) Curriculum, 3) Assessment and Talent
Identification, 4) Facilities and Equipment and 5)
Administration. Within five days of the initial
assessment, the Board of Directors are presented with an
extensive analysis of current provision and performance,
and recommendations for improvement.
