Travel Team Assessments

Assessments are only for travel teams.  The information gathered from the assessment is used along with evaluations from a player’s current coach to formalize teams for the next season.  In the event that a girl is unable to attend an assessment session, placement will be based solely on the player’s last coach evaluation, and/or whatever other data is available to the travel committee.  There are no “make up” assessment sessions.  All girls who register for travel teams before the June 16 deadline will be placed on a team according to her skill level.

Under the guidance of Shaun McBrien, NGS Director of Coaching, assessments are staffed by professional trainers and experienced coaches.  During the assessment, players take part in a technical warm-up, 1v1 & 2v2 activities, and small-sided games appropriate to each age group. Each age group is broken down into smaller groups to allow our evaluators more time to observe players and help ensure players are placed on travel teams according to skill level.

The NGS Academy Teams are also formed based on these assessments.  Players selected for Division 1 U10-U14 teams will be invited to join an academy team.  Academy teams will be announced by mid-June.

Assessments for fall 2014 and spring 2015 seasons will be held May 27-June 2 at Weeks Field (Tennis Court Entrance, See schedule below.)  Please register your daughter now even if she is unable to attend an assessment session.
