A good tape lets a coach see your player's decisions, movement and what they do after an imperfect touch. This guide covers how to cut it.
If you already have game film, this takes one evening.
Five rules for the tape.
Long tapes lose coaches. Field players should aim for 20–25 game-action clips inside that window.
Coaches form an impression in the first 30 seconds. Put your strongest clips first. Do not use chronological order.
Coaches want to see decisions in games. Add drill and skills work only as a supplement. Goalkeepers are the exception: drill film helps.
How your player recovers from a heavy touch tells a coach more than a clean touch does.
Upload to YouTube (unlisted), Hudl, Veo or Google Drive with sharing set to "anyone with the link". Then paste the link into the form.
If you film the game yourself, follow these.
Do not add name, school, or contact information. Evaluations are anonymous both ways: we strip identifying details before any coach sees the film, so leaving them off protects your athlete and saves us a step.
Pick your player's primary position and build the clip list around it.
A tape that follows this checklist.
The most common reason a clip can't be evaluated.
They hide the play around your player, which is most of what a coach judges.
Use it only as a supplement.
They break the anonymity that makes the feedback honest.
