What this involves:

• The Technical Director attends training sessions and matches across the club throughout the year
• Players are observed within their regular team environments
• Notes are taken on technical ability, game understanding, attitude, effort, and coachability.
• Observations are tracked over time and across multiple environments, not based on single sessions

Important context:

• This process takes place quietly behind the scenes
• There are no formal sessions or announcements during this stage
• This approach allows players to be observed naturally, without added pressure

Outcome:

• Helps inform which players may be invited to participate in formal evaluation phases
• This stage does not guarantee an invitation to formal evaluations
