What the report looks like
Riley is invented, and so are these scores and notes. Everything else on this page is exactly what your family receives: the same five criteria, the same arithmetic, and the same wording a development coach writes in.
Every player at 3v3 Manitoba: Road to Nationals Showcase was watched and scored on the same five things, out of 10. Riley was watched by two development coaches across three games, and every number here is the average of their cards.
The score across the whole day
6.9
out of 10, the average of the five criteria below.
What went best. Attitude, at 8.3.
The five things we scored
Each one is scored from 1 to 10, and under every score is the description it lands closest to.
On the ball
7.5 out of 10
Keeps the ball under normal pressure and passes when a teammate is free.
Decision making
6.3 out of 10
Usually picks a sensible option and takes it in good time.
Off the ball
5.8 out of 10
Moves to give an option, and gets back in when possession turns over.
Defending
6.5 out of 10
Presses the ball and makes honest attempts to win it back.
Attitude
8.3 out of 10
Lifts the whole trio. Same effort at eight nil up or eight nil down.
Game by game

What the coaches wrote
First game
Took the ball on the half turn twice in the first two minutes and beat a player both times. Lost it trying the same thing a third time, then went and won it back.
Second game
Worked hard off the ball. Called for the pass and kept moving even when it didn't come.
Translated from Portuguese. What the coach wrote:
Trabalhou muito sem a bola. Pediu o passe e continuou a mover-se mesmo quando ele não veio.
Third game
Kept the trio talking when they went two behind. Same effort in the last minute as in the first.
Reading the numbers
It's the scale football uses everywhere, not a mark out of a hundred. A 6 is a solid game and most children land between 5 and 7, so a 5.5 is not half of anything. It's an ordinary afternoon of football.
A 9 is rare on purpose. Our coaches are asked to keep it that way, because if everybody is a 9 the numbers stop telling us anything and the children who really did stand out lose the credit.
Who sees this
Only your family. We don't publish it: no leaderboard, no ranking, nothing on our website, and no other family sees Riley's card.
Your family's card arrives by email after the festival, with a link to this same page for your own player. The email carries the card and a little more besides: how to read the numbers, and what happens next.
