Which level am I?

2 minAthletes, parents and coaches

Your level is about skill, not age. A 9-year-old and a 10th grader who are both new start in the same place.

Quick version

Pick how much you've played. You can change it any time.

Why it matters

Starting at the right level keeps practice fun: not so easy you get bored, not so hard you get stuck. Your level only decides where you start, never what you're allowed to go back to.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Beginner — New to it

    You've never played the position, or you're not sure how to stand in a stance. Start here.

  2. 2

    Intermediate — Played a season or two

    You can get in a solid stance and know what run and pass blocking are. You want better footwork and hands.

  3. 3

    Advanced — Experienced

    You've started games, your stance and first step are automatic, and you want power, pass pro and reading the defense.

  4. 4

    Not sure?

    Pick the lower level. The drills go fast if they're easy, and you can change your level any time on My Path.

Easier Skills always stay open, so you can go back for a warm-up or to chase Elite.

For parents

If your athlete is new to the sport, choose Beginner even if they're older or very athletic. Good technique from the start prevents bad habits and keeps them safe.

Questions

Will an older beginner feel babied?

No. Drills and Coach talk to every athlete the same way, by skill. There's nothing that says “for little kids.”

What comes after Advanced?

Elite level and more positions and sports are on the way. Plus members get new Skills as they're added.
