Player Development System
|
To track each player's progress and continually focus on each athlete's unique development needs, members are evaluated quarterly in various categories to track their development as a complete athlete and leader. Progress is tracked on their Player Development Chart (see example).
The Player Development Chart was designed after consultation with HS and Collegiate programs throughout the country, capturing the key developmental and leadership areas best suited to prepare youth athletes for contributing roles in their future teams and careers. This tool is a great conversation piece for your family, as well as a guide for Shine Trainers to continually challenge each athlete towards their individual best! Shine also uses these Charts to promote athletes to various collegiate program as part of our Recruitment Support system. Skill Development Badges Each Category has 8 levels representing a gradual progression of their skill and competency. Upon achieving the 8th level in a category, the athlete will earn a Badge. Badges come in heat-press versions to apply to backpacks, bags, and jerseys, as well as a sticker that can be used on water bottles, training journals or anywhere. The Skill Development Categories include: Passing Rebounding Ball Handling Red Zone Scoring Mid-Range Scoring Range Scoring Balance and Control Game IQ Communication Leadership Team Offense Team Defense Personal Development Badges Service: To earn the Service Badge, an athlete must complete four (4) community service tasks and submit a signed Community Service Form to Shine Basketball for credit. Services can include a variety of items including volunteer work, tutoring, assisting a neighbor, or anything! The Community Service Form is available on this page.
