By delving into the criteria and ratings utilised by our coaching team, we hope to facilitate a clearer comprehension of the feedback provided.
The Purpose of Reports

How Often Are Reports Released?
The first data report you will receive is after your first ever class with us (effective Aug 19th 2024).
Data reports are then released on the 2nd of every month,summarising your child's minisport sessions for the previous month (regardless of how many sessions the student has attended). Reports cover sessions delivered through both classes and camps taken place during the previous month. For instance, your child has participated in four weekly sessions and three camp sessions within a month, they would receive a seven session report that combines both of these in one place.
Detailed Reports
In addition to regular reports, detailed reports are provided after every 24 sessions. These reports contain a written passage from the coach who has interacted with the child throughout this period. Each detailed report comprises a minimum of 150 words per category, covering the following aspects:
1) Levels Of Enjoyment During Class
A description of the child's enjoyment levels throughout the sessions.
2) Areas Of High Capability
Identification of the child's particular strengths and areas in which they excel.
3) Areas For Improvement
Highlighting specific areas where the child can further develop and improve.
Report Creation Process
Our coaching team diligently prepares reports after each session. Coaches document the skills covered in skall (i.e. dribbling, shooting, running, jumping) during these sessions and provide ratings for your child based on five criteria, listed below:
1. Performance
2. Confidence
3. Interest Levels
4. Enjoyment
5. Ability to Follow Instructions
For a more detailed explanation of what these criteria entail for each age group, please refer to the information provided, by age group, at the foot of this article.
Explaining The Rating System
- Below Expectations for Age Group:
A rating of "1" indicates that the child's performance or progress is below the expected level for their age group. It suggests that further development and improvement are needed in order to meet the expected standards. - Developing Towards Expectations for Age Group:
A rating of "2" signifies that the child is making progress and showing signs of development towards meeting the expected standards for their age group. They are on track but may require further support and practice to fully meet expectations. - Meets Expectations for Age Group:
A rating of "3" indicates that the child's performance and progress align with the expected standards for their age group. They are meeting the established benchmarks and demonstrating the necessary skills and abilities. - Exceeds Expectations for Age Group:
A rating of "4" signifies that the child's performance and progress go beyond the expected standards for their age group. They are demonstrating advanced skills and abilities that surpass the typical developmental milestones. - Strongly Exceeds Expectations for Age Group:
A rating of "5" represents exceptional performance and progress that greatly surpasses the expected standards for the child's age group. They are demonstrating extraordinary skills and abilities that are significantly advanced for their developmental stage.
These ratings provide insight into your child's performance and progress, allowing us to track their development and celebrate their achievements. Our aim is to support and encourage their growth in a positive and nurturing environment.
