Player Evaluationin Vancouver

One player, one session

An evaluation is a private session between one player and our coaches, built to understand that player in depth. Nobody is competing for a place and nobody is being measured against the player next to them. The only benchmark that matters is where this player is now against where they could be.

We start by talking. How long they have played, what position they think suits them, what they enjoy, what frustrates them, and what they actually want out of the game. A player who feels relaxed shows you far more than one who is auditioning, and most of that first conversation ends up shaping how we run the rest of the session.

Sessions run anywhere in the Lower Mainland and are led by our coaching staff directly. Bring boots, shin pads, and water. Players under 18 need a parent or guardian to confirm consent on the form above, and parents are welcome to stay and watch.

What we watch

These are areas, not a checklist we run top to bottom on everyone. Players arrive at very different points in each one, and the session adapts to that in real time. If a first touch is not yet reliable with no defender anywhere near it, there is nothing to learn from testing it under pressure, so we work at the level that actually tells us something and spend the time there instead.

On the ball. Where the touch genuinely lives. Whether the ball sticks, identifying weaker balance and foot, how control holds up as speed and pressure rise. We keep raising the demand until it breaks down, because the breaking point is the useful information.

Off the ball. Often where the real information is, and the first thing to go unlooked at. Is their body open or closed? Do they move to create an angle for the pass, recognizing time and space. A player can be well ahead here and raw on the ball, or the reverse, and that gap is worth knowing about.

Body mechanics. How they run, accelerate and, more importantly, decelerate. Balance through contact, how they change direction, and whether there are asymmetries or movement patterns quietly limiting them or setting up an injury later. Coaches rarely look at this. It is often the fastest thing to improve.

Temperament. How they respond when something is corrected, when a rep goes badly, and when they are asked to try something unfamiliar. Coachability tells us more about a player's ceiling than any single skill does.

What you get back

Every player is scored 1 to 5 across the four pillars: technical, tactical, physical, and mental. You receive that as a written report, along with the two or three things we would work on first and an honest view of where the player currently sits.

The scores are development tools. They are not used to rank players against each other or to gatekeep entry, and we would rather tell you something uncomfortable and useful than something flattering and vague. If a player is a long way from where they want to be, the report says so, and it says what to do about it.

After the session

There is no obligation. If the fit is right, the report becomes the starting point for an individual development plan inside the academy programme, and you can review programme pricing in your own time. If it is not the right fit, you keep the feedback anyway, and you are welcome to come back and be reassessed once the player has put in some work.

Submit the form above and a coach will be in touch within 48 hours to find a time. The first session is free, and it stays free whether or not you join.
