Skill-Level-Maturity (SLM)

We use SLM to assess how much a player understands the specific movement or skill, while also grading their physical ability to perform that movement or skill.

Level 1/Low

A player is new to our development program and has not been shown and/or has proper mechanics. Majority of players will start in Level 1 so our coaches can reinforce good habits and the importance of building on a strong foundation.

Level 2/Medium

Level 2 is for players that have an understanding of foundational movements/skills, and are ready to build off of the base and/or are prepared for less coaching time with increased reps.

Level 3/High

Players with strong to excellent form that also understand our coaching points and language. This level is focused on high rep counts with minimal coaching interference and/or advanced skill variations due to their strong foundation.
