UpLVL Assessment

3 new notes, 2 earlier notes, and 8 skills interpreted for Ella's development

Ella is progressing through the Transition Stage, with Stick Skills and Ground Balls & Transition emerging as the most reliable parts of the profile. Across this report window, Stick Skills made the clearest movement while Stick Skills continued to set the standard. In recent live field situations, Ella showed more control as the pace increased, stayed connected through tighter decisions, and carried the strongest habits into demanding moments. This shows a developing profile becoming more reliable as the demands increase. The primary priority is Passing. Ella now needs to build control and timing before adding more speed and pressure. In the Partner Toss, Ella should develop fundamental passing mechanics through repetitive partner passing at short distance, with one standard throughout: step with the foot opposite your throwing hand. Successful transfer will look like Ella using passing at full pace without losing control, timing, or awareness of the next option.

Coach KazMar 31

Ella looked more composed in the flow of play. Stick Skills and Ground Balls & Transition were the clearest separators in this session and created more control in the game. The next push is Passing and Shooting so that level holds when the pace lifts, the decisions get tighter, and the game becomes less forgiving.

Coach KazMar 2

Passing and Shooting are the clearest next step. The goal is to keep the same quality when space closes quickly.

Coach KazFeb 2

Ella showed more control in Stick Skills and Ground Balls & Transition and stayed connected as the pace increased.

Mindset Rep

Play With Confidence

Throw with belief and your pass will show it. Every pass is a statement — make it a confident one.

Your Focus

Short-distance partner passing builds the arm-wrist-stick mechanics of the overhand pass in a pressure-free environment.

Set Up

Partners stand 6 yards apart.

Run The Rep

You passes with a full overhand throw: step with the opposite foot, pull top hand, push bottom hand.

Partner catches and immediately returns.

Check It

Step with the foot opposite your throwing hand

Goal

You've got it when your partner catches 8 out of 10 without having to reach or adjust, the pass goes to them, not near them.

Helpful Cues

Step with the foot opposite your throwing handPull the top hand down to drive the passFollow through, your stick should point to your target after the pass

UPLVL IT

Pass while moving laterally; partner must also move to receive.
