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