The Secret about Setting Goals for Your Team and Players

Do you have goals for your team and players as the season approaches? If yes, be sure those goals are clear and specific. If no, then see the “yes” answer.

For example, does your team have players that will be moving up to the next division after the season is over? If so, they need to be prepared for that transition. Tell each player who s/he needs to do to be successful at the next level. What about younger players? Be clear about how they can improve by measurable steps.

Here’s the secret of effective goal-setting: Goals should be established both for individual players, and for the team as a whole. Depending on the age of team members, you will want to have each team member write down both their individual goals and team goals. A parent can help with younger players. In every case, you want players to see how they can reach goals and how their goals fit into the team goal.

For best results, create a structure to review individual and team goals throughout the season.
