PLAYER ASSESSMENT TOOL 

 


Strikeparter.com uses the National Standards Project (NSP) to assess players in training.

 

NSP takes the approach that a player can always improve technically.  To measure the technical progress of the players in the program, NSP has created 16 assessment metrics covering pretty much the total technical package.

 

Please visit the NSP website for details, below are links to their website with detailed explanations.
