Mid Season Soccer Reports

Individual and team feedback is very important. The general rule is that feedback needs to immediately follow the action requiring feedback and it needs to be constructive. It needs to aim at improving and lifting individuals, not at knocking them down.

Typically you would have had a pre-season meeting with the parents, the team and each player. We suggest that half way through the season you provide a brief written update to each player. Sit down for about five minutes and discuss it and then let the player leave with the piece of paper.

This allows you the opportunity to communicate to the individual and and to send a consistent message about your feelings on the team and season. It also allows parents to become engaged if they wish.

A sample of a concise report is available as a MS Word document by clicking:
