Of course, the most important indicator of a player's sport level is how they play. The pitch verifies everything. However, it is very important to have a benchmark.

Ajax academy Amsterdam has a database of all players - Skills box.

Young footballers go through a series of tests to assess their abilities. Tests are divided into four main categories:

1. Technique
2. Tactics
3. Physical Preparation
4. Mental skills

As a result, trainers have constant insight into the progress made, comparison among peers and the opportunity to assess which parameters need to be worked on.

Techniques are assessed for elements such as:

1. Pass the ball - short, medium, long

2. Shot on goal - from a standing ball, from leading the ball and after a cross

3. Leading the ball - speed and change of direction

4. Dribbling - leading the ball in the full speed and How fast are you dribbling 

I hope these tips will help you train in the right way and show your best side during test or trial periods at the club!

4. Accepting the ball - forward, sideways, backwards, upper ball

I hope these tips will help you train in the right way and show your best side during test or trial periods at the club!
