Football IQ
Scan before receiving
Does the player scan the space and decide what to do next?
Star Growth System
Every Session Counts. Every Match Builds Growth.
Goals and results are part of football. We also notice how players observe, choose, handle challenges and support teammates. Star Points recognise that effort and progress, while coach feedback turns it into the next training goals.
STAR POINTS COMMITMENT
Star Points Commitment Plan
An annual 40,000-point advance, repaid through ongoing valid check-ins.
Families willing to commit to valid check-ins can discuss receiving an annual 40,000 Star Points advance, or agreed training-session credit. Points earned through valid check-ins then repay the advance under the agreed terms. This support must be repaid in points; it is not an unconditional gift.
- Discuss the terms: valid check-ins, dates, eligible training and what happens if the commitment is not completed.
- Agree the support: the team confirms the arrangement and records it manually.
- Review together: check the advance, training redeemed, points repaid and outstanding balance.
The advance is recorded separately from earned points and does not confer a higher player level or team eligibility. Spendable points used for repayment cannot also be redeemed, while check-in and growth records are retained.
Which terms need to be agreed first?
Before any advance is recorded, agree valid check-ins, reporting and annual dates, eligible repayment sources, training conversion, pauses or withdrawal, non-completion and refunds, and whether other offers can be used. A website enquiry does not issue points or sessions, or take payment.
Star Points in Action
How Do Star Points Work in a Session?
Illustrative example: a Junior Rangers 3v3 game. This shows how a coach can observe and respond; it is not an individual player's recorded session.
Effort
Recover quickly after losing the ball
Does the player stay involved and work to defend again?
Teamwork
Communicate with teammates
Does clear communication help a teammate make a choice?
Technique
Try a skill from training
Does the player try to use learning in the game, even when it does not work yet?
01 · Recognition
Recognise scanning, recovery, communication and trying a skill, so the player knows what to keep doing.
02 · Coach Feedback
For example: you saw your teammate before receiving; next time, also try checking the opponent behind you.
03 · Next Training Goal
In the next 3v3, try checking behind before receiving, then choose a pass or turn. The coach observes and follows up.
How Parents Can Understand Progress
Coaches observe training and matches and use feedback to identify next goals. Anonymised summaries of previous reports show examples of recorded observations; the JR profile on this site is a sample, not your child's record.
Star Points recognise participation, effort and growth. Match observations explain performance in context. A longer-term profile connects records and goals. These can inform each other, but points are not an ability ranking or an admissions qualification.
Confirm individual records and feedback arrangements with the coach: what is currently available, how it will be shared and when to review progress together.
