Evaluation software

Ascension Flight bring a unique addition to the Player Assessment Process by using a digital platform called 'TeamGenius'. This platform allows Ascension Flight Assessment Staff to use electronic devices when evaluating players, Assessment Staff will be seen using cell phones, tablets or computer during the process of the Player Assessment. This software allows Ascension Flight to gather and store information securely through our 'TeamGenius' app.

Gone are the days of countless clipboards and sheets of paper with each player evaluation collected, we feel this is a step in the right direction for our evaluations of players and security of their information.

Player Assessment Process FAQS

Cajun Industries Soccer Complex

  • Once a player is registered s/he will attend at least one (1) of the two (2) assessment dates for their age group. Players are asked to wear non-club attire and keep their sports uniform as neutral as possible. Upon arrival, players will check-in with their parent/guardian and be given a number to hand to the assessors once directed to their field by the check-in person(s). Once players have handed their number to the assessor, they will receive a bib with a number and their name will be recorded.

  • During the assessment, the assessors will use electronic devices such as mobiles, tablets and computers to assess players on our assessment app TeamGenius. Assessors will never share information or ask questions of the players i.e. 'what team do you play for' 'would you join our club if you were offered blue' etc. Players will start by participating in technical exercises both unopposed and opposed which allows assessors to create and take notes.

  • Players will have their photo taken during the first water break, they will be lined up in increments of 10. The reason we do this is that, once we are evaluating and selecting teams throughout all age groups we can put a face to a name if needed, it's worth noting we assess over 500 players during this process. Players will then play in a scrimmage with their respective age group and be placed in positions where the assessor would like to see players play, if players are placed in a position that they don't typically play, this is ok.

  • Please review our Player Assessment dates, times, and age groups which are grouped by birth-year. Players can register through the registration portal on this page.
