I agree with this. I’d like to see the stats. I would love to see individual quality of play scores as well. If they are able to pull top % plays, I’m sure they will be able to rate the players on different skills so we can see what needs improvement. If my kid's coach is going off an App to develop their technical skills I'd be very concerned I think parents want to know, especially parents who may think the coach doesn’t pay as much attention to their kid. I doubt our coach pays much attention to Taka although he encourages getting a profile |

As noted above, MLS is saying, PARENTS, STAY THE F—K off our website and using rankings as a barometer for your ego and your child’s development. There is no reason to care about the rankings other than ego. More reasonable metrics are: Can you child juggle around the world 250x? Can they juggle 50x in a row with each body part? Inside foot, outside foot, laces, thighs, both feet, etc. Is your child proficient dribbling and shooting with both feet? Can your child take the ball out of the area with every body part? When isolated, can you child beat anybody 1v1 and defend 1v1? These are sample metrics parents need to understand, not wins vs losses. |

I read the link. And I paid for Taka's subscription for my son. It's cool to get his highlights, good and bad, after every game. But other than that I cannot see my player's or team's score for attack, defense, and QoP after every game, like the article says. And it is hard to infer which plays are "positive tactical intentions". So it is difficult to see what my player or my team need to do to improve their QoP, besides a vague "get better". I think this is a good idea, and maybe it just needs some time to impact the game, but for right now it just feels like the scores are subjective and there are no actionable recommendations about how to get better. I agree with this. I’d like to see the stats. I would love to see individual quality of play scores as well. If they are able to pull top % plays, I’m sure they will be able to rate the players on different skills so we can see what needs improvement.

| You can message them on Instagram too. They are quite responsive. I’ve asked questions about their algo and certain features. |

Pity all the folks here on dcum won't take the time to read this |

| If your DC is a booter of the ball and focused on being a physical player, then their rankings used for evaluations and scouting will be extremely low |

Do you think the scores of individual players are being looked at by scouts? |

I think this is a great way to measure player and team. Take the 2012 SYC Ex Samaba Mamaba Bama boys. If you check https://league.northleft.com/standings, they are listed as number 1. If you check MLS NExt QoP they drop down to 4th on the list.
This should shut the 20112 GK and his dad from bragging about how many 'clean' sheets he's gotten. |
