RUBRIC - All Search Actions
Purpose: To assess learning by the demonstration of Vision & Awareness.
Assessing Search Actions (Vision & Awareness) – Rubric
Players must use the information that they receive through their eyes to assess the soccer surroundings. Purposeful or intentional searching is critical to player success in making a decision and executing decisions. When players SEARCH they will find that key information. This information leads to ACTION. These actions we call Search Actions and the general rubric for these Search Actions are described below. You will also find individual rubrics for each Search Action by selecting the appropriate reference below.
Rubrics use a set of criteria to evaluate a player learning. These rubrics consist of a fixed measurement scale and detailed description of the characteristics for each level of performance. The descriptions focus on the quality of the product or performance and not the quantity.

| Description | ||
| Developing | Initial | 1. Player demonstrates initial understanding of Platform Play and Flattening-out by using inside of game situations (i.e. handball) where they have more time to see the story and with occasional prompts from coaches/teammates. |
2. Player demonstrates understanding of Platform Play and Flattening-out by using inside of game situations with minimal or no prompts from coaches/teammates. This demonstrates understanding of supporting to see forward and to ‘open the spaces (“curtains”) between defenders’. In controlled activities (i.e. sharing several soccer balls between a group of players) the player demonstrates an understanding of ‘breaking the line’ (imaginary line) with occasional prompts from coaches/teammates. | ||
| Emerging | 3. Player demonstrates an understanding of ‘breaking the line’ (imaginary line) within minimal prompts from coaches/teammates. These ‘lines’ change position and size constantly and the player is able to identify where these ‘curtains’ have opened. In controlled activities (i.e. 6v3 handball) the player demonstrates an understanding of finding the space inside of three defenders, ‘Living In The Triangle’, with occasional prompts from coaches/teammates. | |
4. Player demonstrates that they understand and are aware (can see) three defenders (which creates a triangle), then place themselves within the triangle ‘Living In The Triangle’. The end result is a player who is searching away from the ball in order to take in as much information as possible about their surrounding area. In controlled activities (i.e. 2v2 + 1 Neutral + 2 End Players handball) the player demonstrates an understanding of Opposite Actions with occasional prompts from coaches/teammates. | ||
Acquired | Competent | 5. Player demonstrates that they understand and are aware (can see) Opposite Actions with occasional prompts from coaches/teammates. In controlled activities (i.e. 3v3 + Neutral) the player demonstrates an understanding of 360 degree Support (Support Beyond (In Front), Beside and Behind) with occasional prompts from coaches/teammates. |
| 6. Player demonstrates that they understand and are aware (can see) 360 Support (Support Beyond (In Front), Beside and Behind) with minimal prompts from coaches/teammates. | ||
Proficient | 7. ProActive Passing – Player demonstrates that they understand Safe-Side Passing and Passing Into The Turning Space (Passing For Progression) with occasional prompts from coaches/teammates. | |
8. With minimal prompts from coaches/teammates, the player recognizes Proactive Passing possibilities within game situations. The player recognizes where the defender or space is located relative to their teammate and they play passes that provide their team with the highest probability of maintaining possession and creating forward progression. The player demonstrates an understanding of team intentions around Rotations and Interchange with minimal or no prompts from coaches/teammates. |
