This idea of developing players is hard to measure. I think you look at the quality of training, the way that the teams play, parent and player satisfaction, and college placement.



I think if you want to measure the idea of DEVELOPING players, you look at the quality of training and the improvement players make from the beginning of each season to the end under that training. Period. The other parameters you list could be attributed to other factors, but the "delta factor" between what you start with and what you end up with as a direct result of your actions is unquestionably development.

I've got good news and bad news...
