Rating the skills
Practice makes perfect
VFA developed a skill rating system for the players homework and the practice session performance. To progress to the next skill, the player needs to have an average skill rating of 7 or higher. This skill rating is based on both : the individual execution of the skill and the practice session performance.
Sequence of learning

2. Coach gives homework
The player practices the skill at home, in the park or anywhere there is space, and if it is safe to do so.
