As a program, Team Elite has always strived to cover all areas at the highest level including the area of “Development and Instruction” for all players. To continue our growth in this area and take it to a higher level, we have created the “Player Enhancement Group”.
The Player Enhancement Group encompasses all areas of development and exposure including testing, evaluations, the TE app by Curve training, coach training, tryouts, exposure & college placement and TE practices. This division is run under the management and leadership of Mike Gearhart, Josh Jones and Matt Arietta.
Part of the Team Elite experience is that our 11u-18u teams will be receiving their metrics after the initial testing phase of the evaluations. In addition, our player evaluations will continue throughout the season and presented through an end of the year written evaluation.
To complete the evaluations, we have aligned our head coaches, assistant coaches, and the player enhancement group staff to evaluate the players, work together to create a comprehensive written evaluation report on strengths and areas of improvement with suggested tasks to improve those areas. We are not aware of any program around that has gone to this depth to help evaluate their travel teams’ players and give “communication” from the “full staff” and not just their “team coaches”.
Please keep an open mind regarding our assessment and evaluation. We are looking at the future for all players and we want to do everything possible to help them achieve success in this game. Our staff truly cares about these young men and while we made a point to stress the positives and strengths, we also strive to shoot the players straight in their areas of improvement which we believe they need to get extra work. Our goal is to help them succeed and prepare them ultimately for the high school teams and to eventually receive a college scholarship.
On behalf of the Player Enhancement Group, we thank you and look forward to continued development of the players.
