We'll gauge your players level of confidence
in the following areas:
Footwork Consistency
Does your player catch a pass ready to shoot, and drive without traveling?
Ball Handling Effectiveness
Can your player get past their defender, or do they look just good going nowhere?
Finishing Options
How many different ways can your player finish around the rim?
Shooting Range
How deep is deep range for your player?
Defense Containment
Can your player contain a drive 1v1 against a skilled ball handler?
Decision Speed
Does your player look like "A deer in the headlights?"
Off-Ball Movement
Can they get open and set up to score BEFORE they catch the ball?
Shot Selection
Do they know what a good shot is, how to get one, and when to take it?
Rebounding
Can they anticipate where a ball is going, and go get it before their opponent?
Telling your player "You Are Here" Is Critical
Your player has probably played 2+ years of competitive basketball, for at least 2 different coaches, and watched countless NBA players in action.
Maybe they want to play in the NBA, maybe just earn bragging rights in the park with friends - either way they need confidence in that skill.
That confidence starts with the simple, honest process of putting a numbered rating on a skill to say "You are here."
Players want to compete with peers, want to look good, want to avoid embarrassment, but if they just had a way to measure where they were yesterday - they would see progress, and eventually have certainty, confidence, and happiness in their success!
Don't just shrug it off.
When more of the same - more games, more teams, more tournaments hasn't helped your player succeed - its time to re-orient yourself and your player on your journey, and it all starts with a simple measurement.
