AKIL ID-DEEN

Beginning

Rarely demonstrates the skill.

Needs step-by-step prompting. The ball or movement gets away from them most of the time.

Emerging

Demonstrates occasionally or with support.

Succeeds in unopposed drills with a reminder, but the skill disappears once there is pressure.

Age-Appropriate

Demonstrates with growing independence.

On track for the age group. Does it unaided in practice, though it breaks down in small-sided games.

Strong

Demonstrates consistently.

Reliable in both drills and game situations. Rarely needs correction or a second attempt.

Advanced

Demonstrates independently in varied situations.

A standout for the age group. Applies it under pressure and adapts it to new situations without prompting.

Not observed

Not enough opportunity to assess. Excluded from the player's average.
