What qualities we are looking for in our players:

1. Strength on the Ball: This is different from physical strength. It is the ability to retain the ball when under pressure. It has to do with skill, positioning and physical strength.

2. Aggressiveness: Every team needs players whose aggressiveness will win the ball for the team.

3. The Ability to Play Quickly: Better teams will play faster and the ball handler will quickly be pressured. We are looking for players who can play fast by making quick, correct decisions under pressure.

4. Passing to Open Space and Movement off the Ball: Being able to pass to open space (instead of just passing to feet), anticipating passes to open space and "movement off the ball" are critical as you get older. Players who can play this way have an advantage over those who can't. Playing into space has allows a team to both slows a game down as a defender and allows a team to have a much faster and more creative attack.

5. Speed: Speed is important at high levels of play. You can teach skills and improve speed, but anyone who possesses natural speed always has an advantage.
