Skill evaluations are the first event of the Season. Players that are not yet assigned to a team come this event and get to participate in a clinic style practice. The coach will go through some skills drills and time permitting have a short scrimmage. Kids will get a little skill building in plus the commissioner will get a chance to assess their skills in preparation for team formation.
