Stick & Ball Control and Positioning are already showing up as meaningful strengths in live attacking and transition sequences, and those strengths are beginning to raise the quality of every rep. The next jump is Passing.
Jules is doing well with reverse stick, and that strength is starting to show up in more live reps. The goal is to keep making it reliable when the pace rises.
Jules needs to keep developing passing so this part of the game becomes more consistent under pressure. The next step is cleaner reps that hold up at game speed.

Jules' Skill Build: Passing
Your drill this week: Aerial Pass Execution
Master the technique and execution of aerial passes to switch play over a press or deliver behind a defensive line.
The play doesn't end when the ball leaves — stay mentally alive after every pass and the game will reward you.
Aerial passes are among the most technically demanding and tactically decisive passes in elite field hockey.
You at center field; receiver stands 30-40 yards away in space.
Cup the ball face and follow through upward, not forward
You're doing it right when your aerial pass drops within a stick's reach of your teammate, they don't have to run to it.
Add a pressing defender to force the aerial under pressure.
Each skill gets a 1-10 rating that maps to a milestone, helping track skill development and player growth over time.
Milestones show progress in a specific skill. Players usually move through milestones with age, practice, and better game understanding.
Stages describe the player's broader development level. They are based on the overall rating, which averages the skill ratings in the report.
A player can be at different milestones in different skills while still having one overall stage for the report. The value is seeing what changed from one evaluation to the next.
The player is building the base. Coaches are looking for understanding, effort, and cleaner reps before expecting the skill to show up consistently in games.
Open a skill to see the rating, growth, and next milestone.
