Permits us to make best decisions for the PROGRAM: * Who should make the team? * Who should play at what level? * Who should play what position? Permits us to make best decisions for the PLAYERS: * What skills do I need to work on? * What do I do well? * Why am I playing this position?

Permits us to properly COMMUNICATE WITH PLAYERS, PARENTS AND ADMINISTRATION: * How could you place my kid there? * Why is this parent calling my office? * Coach: Why did I get cut?

24. WHY THIS TRYOUT EVALUATON SYSTEM
Permits us to properly COMMUNICATE WITH COLLEGES AND SCOUTS:
* Why can your player play at my level?
* What are positive and negatives?
* Quantifies your conversation

25. DATA DRIVEN A DETAILED RUBRIC
