Our next cycle of objective technical assessments is officially hitting the pitch next week and the week after at both our North CLT and South CLT locations! To ensure a world-class standard of care, we are adjusting the maximum player limit for each 30-minute block. This intentional update allows our Directors of Coaching (DOCs) and leadership staff to run your player’s evaluations directly. By capping these assessment windows, we can keep our regular training classes running completely uninterrupted. This new process allows us to offer more consistent evaluation periods and more training classes for our community throughout the year. We encourage all Mentees to complete their evaluation each cycle. Consistent data allows us to accurately map your player's technical progress, celebrate their breakthroughs, and help our team build out the next level of personalized development plans for 2026 and beyond. Let’s measure the growth and celebrate the process! Please log into the Own Touch app today to secure your player’s 30-minute assessment slot.
