Tryouts

AEF Academy believes that for players to make an impact on their team, it is imperative that they play on a team with other athletes of similar ability level. This starts with appropriate team placement. AEF Academy uses OBJECTIVE software that allows our evaluation staff to rate each player on specific skill categories and subcategories multiple times and by multiple coaches. We can see in real time if a player has not gotten as much attention from the evaluators as another, and we can use that information to guide our focus toward that player until they are 100% evaluated. Evaluators can verbally take notes on each player with the click of a button, while not having to take their eyes off the court. The data is collected and provided back in specific report format for each athlete, clearly showing areas of strengths and weaknesses, which then becomes our baseline for individual player development over the season (and throughout their AEF Academy career!)
