Arsenal requires each coach to prepare evaluations of all players each season.  All players can work to improve everything, even their strengths.  The weaknesses are not criticisms, but just areas where they can really improve themselves as players if they work on them.

Each coach will prepare a player evaluation sheet, and then schedule a meeting with each player and his/her parents to discuss the evaluation.

Some coaches also do midseason written evaluations, and some do written evaluations after every game.

In the first weeks of June, the team coach will discuss with you your child’s end of year evaluation.  This will include the current ranking into the top, middle or bottom thirds of the team.  This  'ranking' system is used so that players and parents know where they are based on the whole team, so that "IF" they were not chosen at tryouts, they were prepared beforehand, and it was not a complete shock.
