Player Ratings by COACHES:
As you know, “Balanced Teams” is one of AYSO’s core philosophies. We rely on you to provide accurate player ratings at the end of each season. These ratings will help guide us as we form teams for the upcoming season.
The Head Coach must provide the Coach Administrator with player ratings in order to receive trophies/medals.
Three Important Notes:
- The Ratings Must Be Accurate
- The Ratings Must Be given to the Coach Administrator via email
- No Ratings = No Trophies/Medals
ACCURACY AND AYSO REGION 669 RATING SCALE:
As you rate your players, please take into consideration the following:
- Player’s skill level in relation to other teams you have faced – not just in relation to your own team. Concretely, a player who may be a 5 on my team, may only be a 3 when compared to other teams we have faced.
- Age level appropriate skills: e.g. the U5 players are not expected to know how to head the ball, but a U14 player who can head in goals off corner kicks may merit a higher rating than one who cannot.
- Don’t stack rank your team, but don’t give them all the same rating, either. As a coach, it is your responsibility to differentiate your player talent.
The Scale:

RATINGS
The Head Coach must complete player ratings, and send to Coach Administrator. We may request ratings prior to the start of the Spring season, if we believe there is a need to balance teams within a division. We WILL request ratings at the end of the season, in order to receive your teams medals. Coaches will return their coach bags to the concession stand at the soccer fields on the last day of the season. If we haven’t received your Player Ratings, then you will not receive your medals.
