Download - End-of-season Player Evaluation/Rating Forms

Our player rating system is the best means we have for equitably distributing players on next year's teams. Please be consistent, and don't use your 'own' method of rating players; use the guidelines we've set forth. Base your ratings on all the skill sets listed, and rate them all equally.

Ratings are given in 7 key areas of player ability and experience:

• Speed: How quick is the player? How quick is that player to the play? How quick is that player to make a play once there?
• Kicking (Passing): Does the player kick or pass in a well-timed manner, and is the ball placed correctly? Is the player's kick strong, or weak? Is the player's kick accurate or wild?
• Control: Does the player have the ability to use various parts of the body to manage the ball? How well does the player maintain possession of the ball?
• Defense: Given that most players know how to go forward to attack, does the player know how to come back when possession is lost? Recover? Mark up? Concentrate and regain possession?
• Teamwork: Does the player respect and encourage others? Does the player know when to attack, and when to drop back to defend? Is the player willing to try to learn other positions?
• Endurance: Does the player have the ability to withstand the demands of the game? Can the player keep up that level of play throughout the entire game?
• Assertiveness: Does the player stay focused on the game? Is the player attentive? Does the player react to changing situations in the game? To rate the above, assign each player a number between 1.0 (very weak) to 5.0 (very strong) for each of the seven areas.
  
  The average for each player is then calculated by adding the ratings for all 7 areas together, and dividing that sum by 7.
  
  The actual player rating is achieved by multiplying that average by 100, meaning that all players will have a rating somewhere between 100 and 500. In practice, there are no 500-rated players in AYSO, and there are few 100-rated players, as well.
