Player Rating Guide

Purpose of Rating System

The purpose of the rating system is to provide TVSA Coaches a uniform method to assess the athletic and soccer skills of the players on their teams.

The ratings are used for the purpose of ranking the players for subsequent Player Drafts.

The most frequent mistake made by Coaches is overrating a child. This leads to improper rankings and is ultimately unfair to other Coaches who use the rating to assess a child's skills.

Guide to Rating a Player

There are several key items to consider when performing your ratings:

You are rating your player against ALL players in their age group, NOT just against other players on your Team.
The rating is not a "grade" and is only used for the purposes of the draft
Put some effort into your ratings as they are important to the player and other Coaches

What Do The Scores Mean?

Your total composite score for each player should be assessed for accuracy using the following general scale. If you find the score you developed is either too high or too low, you should revise the individual scores to align with the following criteria:

Total Score	What this score means about a Player.
100 - 90	Better than almost all players their age Always the "best" on the field A candidate to move to the TVSA Select or Club Program A "natural athlete" and "great" soccer player with all around skills and knowledge Roughly 1 in 20 kids would be in this range (5%)
90 - 80	Better than most players their age Always one of the better players on the field A candidate to be a Recreational League All-Star A good athlete with better than average soccer skills and knowledge Roughly 1 in 10 kids would be in this range (10%)
80 -70	Better than a lot of players their age Is one of the top 2 or 3 on their team A good athlete with average soccer skills and knowledge Roughly 2 in 10 kids would be in this range (20%)
