Player Development

Player Evaluation

Coaches will use a holistic approach when evaluating a student-athlete using qualities such as skill,
character, integrity, leadership, coach ability, and a love for the sport. Skill alone will not supersede the

School’s Mission without regard to ability or status. Coaches will incorporate a student-driven, mid and
post-season review that will be shared with the student-athletes.

field of play. Coaches will select Team Captains and Student-Athlete Advisory Committee
