Sports Skills Assessment Record
Purpose
The Sports Skills Assessment Record Sheet is designed for
the teacher/coach to record the athlete’s pre-assessment and
post-assessment skill level. The teacher/coach can use the
record sheet as a master list, which indicates several things:
• Each athlete’s overall development in the program
• The current ability levels of all the athletes in the progr a m
• Comparable progress between athletes at the same
ability level
• Determination of the athlete’s placement on teams or
future skills classes.
Together, the Sports Skills Assessment Record Sheet and the
Daily Performance Record are effective training devices,
especially for athletes with lower ability.
Using the Sports Skills Assessment Record
Sheet for Badminton
The teacher/coach evaluates the athlete with the Sports Skills
Assessment Record before the athlete begins training. He or
she enters the pre-training assessment score in the proper
column on the sheet. After the athlete has trained in the sport
skill of that particular level, a re-evaluation will take place
and the teacher/coach enters the training assessment score in
the corresponding achievement column. Of course, the
teacher/coach may allow the athlete to fill in the record sheet
or may post the results so the athlete can see what progress
he or she is making and take pride in his or her achievement.
The teacher/coach can also acknowledge each athlete’s
improvement at an end-of-the season team party.
