Skills testing

We like to establish each player's individual level through a series of basic skills tests. The tests advance throughout our program in level of difficulty and complexity. Our goal is to find out where our players are now, then set realistic goals given their available training time in order to measure their progress. It also helps players understand their own strengths and weaknesses for focused training.
