Directly following a skill instruction lesson use these skill tests to assess student progress. We suggest using this assessment to see how your kids are progressing and for the teachers use only. Do not put pressure on the kids to perform these perfectly and tell them you are doing this just to see what we have to work on in the future. View diagram below for suggested set up of assessment.

First, tape out eight connecting passing lanes on the floor. At the end of the middle two lanes, place a 10 on the floor at the exit of each lane. Place a 7 on each lane outside of the 10 lane. Place a 5 on the two lanes outside of the 7 lanes, and a 2 on the outside of each 5 lane. Should look as follows: 2 5 7 10 10 7 5 2 (see diagram).

On the opposite end of the lanes place an "X" in the direct center. Students will start with the ball on the "X" and pass it to you on the other side. Whichever lane the ball emerges from, the students will receive that point value. Students get 3 chances to score a 10, with only the highest score counting. Can also average the three scores and give the stduent that point value out of ten. For kicking assessment, recreate the squares within squares on the wall mats with floor tape. Make the inside (smallest) square worth 10 points, the square outside that worth 7, outside that worth 5, and outside that worth 2. Again, students get three chances to score 10 points, or average the three scores and base it out of ten. Record information for each student individually.
