That means people everywhere are seeing what we are building right here. That is insane progress. So what does this mean for us? Why this matters The higher we rank, the more exposure we get which means more players, more growth, more competition, and more opportunities for all of you. The world can literally discover our group because of this ranking. How Skool ranks us Skool looks at: • Member growth • Engagement • Retention Basically, the more comments, activity, and participation from YOU and your athlete, the higher we go. How we boost our ranking ✔ High quality posts ✔ Real engagement ✔ Active parents and players ✔ Great content and discussions So every time you comment, every time you ask a question, every time your player participates, you are helping this community dominate the rankings even more. What hurts the ranking • Low activity • Ignoring posts • Not participating • Being inactive No one here is doing that, and I want to keep it that way. Bottom line We are climbing fast. We are becoming one of the most active youth sports communities on the planet.

Parents, huge update. Today’s testing shook everything up and the leaderboard looks completely different right now. We had players jump spots, take over rankings, and bring some serious heat. This is what competition should look like. Here are the three athletes that absolutely showed out today: 🎯 Jaden @Nelson Li Only seven and already sitting in THIRD on the 5 10 5 Pro Agility. Pure speed. 🔥 Mikayla Jumped into the TOP FOUR today. Hard work is paying off. 🏆 @Oliver Canales Claimed FIRST in both tests. That set the tone for everyone. We are still missing a few current players who will be tested soon, so expect the full leaderboard to be completely updated by the end of this week. Tell your athlete to check where they stand and get ready to level up when we test again in one to three months. This is about progress, competition, and getting better every single time. Let’s keep building. 💪⚽🔥

In this video, I walk you through how to access and stay on top of your game evaluation forms. I've set these forms as events in our calendar, specifically on Mondays at 12 p.m., and I've attached the link for easy access. It's crucial that you complete these forms by the deadline, as this allows me to provide you with tailored feedback for your classes. To help you remember, I recommend adding this event to your Google Calendar with reminders one hour and one day in advance. Please make sure to stay on top of this so we can keep improving together!

I finally got the pods in and every athlete in the group is getting baseline numbers. We’re keeping this simple and tight. Each player will go through 2–3 short reaction and speed tests so I can track their quickness, agility, and overall performance. This isn’t a one-off. These tests will be repeated every one to three months so we can monitor real improvement and hold everyone accountable. If they’re getting faster, the data will show it. If they’re not, the data will show that too. Parents, I need ONE thing from you before testing: comment your child’s BIRTH YEAR.Not their age. Their birth year. This lets me set up their BlazePod profile correctly so the system can compare their numbers against age-appropriate standards and track progress over time. Once the profile is created, every test gets logged automatically. You’ll know exactly: • How fast they react • How quick they change direction • How much they improve every test cycle • Whether they’re keeping up with expectations for their age This helps me coach smarter and helps your kid get sharper and more competitive. Drop their birth year in the comments now.I’ll take care of everything else.
