Understanding the Minisport Reporting System

This article is designed to give parents a detailed overview of our reporting system and its importance in assessing their child's progress within the Minisport program. By exploring the criteria and ratings used by our coaching team, we hope to ease parents' understanding of the feedback provided.

‍

The Purpose of Reports

Reports are essential for parents to monitor their child's skills and involvement in sports through the Minisport program. They provide insights into a child's interests in sports, their comfort in a sports setting, and help our team track their progress. Reports also help maintain consistency in coaching even if changes occur within our coaching team. 

‍

Report Release Schedule

Reports are issued after every eight sessions that a student attends. This can include any combination of classes and camps, ensuring a thorough evaluation of the child's participation. For instance, if a student has participated in five weekly sessions and three camp sessions, they would receive a report.

Detailed Reports

Beyond regular updates, detailed reports are generated every 24 sessions. These reports include a narrative from the coach who has worked with the child, offering insights into the child's experiences during the sessions. Each detailed report (including a minimum of 150 words per category) addresses several key areas:

‍

1) Levels Of Enjoyment During Class

Describing how much the child enjoyed the sessions.
‍

2) Areas Of High Capability
Identifying the child's strengths and areas of excellence.

3) Areas For Improvement

Pointing out specific areas where the child has room to grow and enhance their skills.

‍

‍

Report Creation Process

Our coaches prepare these reports before each session, documenting the skills covered and providing ratings for each child based on five key criteria.

‍

Criteria For Rating

Minisport coaches offer feedback based on the following criteria:

1. Performance

2. Confidence

3. Interest Levels

4. Enjoyment

5. Ability to Follow Instructions

For a more detailed explanation of what these criteria entail for each age group, please refer to the information provided, by age group, at the foot of this article.

 Explaining The Rating System

1. Below Expectations for Age Group:
   A rating of "1" indicates that the child's performance or progress is below the expected level for their age group. It suggests that further development and improvement are needed in order to meet the expected standards.
   ‍
2. Developing Towards Expectations for Age Group:
   A rating of "2" signifies that the child is making progress and showing signs of development towards meeting the expected standards for their age group. They are on track but may require further support and practice to fully meet expectations.
   ‍
3. Meets Expectations for Age Group:
   A rating of "3" indicates that the child's performance and progress align with the expected standards for their age group. They are meeting the established benchmarks and demonstrating the necessary skills and abilities.
   ‍
4. Exceeds Expectations for Age Group:
   A rating of "4" signifies that the child's performance and progress go beyond the expected standards for their age group. They are demonstrating advanced skills and abilities that surpass the typical developmental milestones.
   ‍
5. Strongly Exceeds Expectations for Age Group:
   A rating of "5" represents exceptional performance and progress that greatly surpasses the expected standards for the child's age group. They are demonstrating extraordinary skills and abilities that are significantly advanced for their developmental stage.

The ratings help us monitor each child's development and celebrate their achievements, supporting their growth in a positive environment.
