Decision-Making and Attacking are already showing up as meaningful strengths in live field situations, and those strengths are beginning to raise the quality of every rep. The next jump is Passing.
Ella is doing well with decision quality, and that strength is starting to show up in more live reps. The goal is to keep making it reliable when the pace rises.
Ella has moved Passing from Consistent into Competitive. Passing measures timing, accuracy, pace, and whether the ball is delivered in a way that helps the next action happen cleanly.

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 average of all skill milestones in the report.
Skills may be at different milestones. The overall stage shows the player’s combined development over time.
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.

Ella's Skill Build: Passing
Your drill this week: Overhead Pass Progression
Build correct overhead passing (setting) technique through a four-stage progression from stationary to moving contact.
Scan before the ball or pressure arrives. Name the best option early.
The overhead pass requires coordinated finger shape, wrist extension, and leg drive that must be learned in sequence.
Stage 1, Wall shadow: player holds ball overhead in setting window (forehead height, triangular finger frame), extends arms to push ball 1 inch, catches it. Repeat 20 times.
Window frame with your fingers, see through the triangle
Success is clean hand contact that feels like a catch and release, not a slap, not a push, just a smooth touch up.
Add a third player so the overhead passer must redirect the ball to a target setter position rather than back to the original passer.
