Assessment:
Fitness is a key element coming into the season.

  • Players will complete a 1.5 timed mile run.
  • Players will complete a sprint, agility, and quickness course
  • Players will be assessed on key elements.
    • Technical ability (first touch, passing, dribbling and ability to play under pressure).
    • Tactical ability/cognitive processes (decision-making, how you support your team-mates, movement, angles of support).  Positional ability (how you play a position you choose to be assessed at).
    • Emotional and psychological strength (the reaction when the ball is lost, competitiveness, effort, interaction with other players).
