Player Skills Card
The R81 Football Skills Card is a simple way to track each child’s football progress. Instead of rewarding attendance, it recognises when players show key skills in realistic games and activities.
See Your Child’s Progress
The R81 Skills Card gives children and parents a simple way to see progress across each coaching block.
Coaches assess seven key skills through games and realistic football activities — not formal tests.
Three Simple Levels
Future Star — I am trying it
Rising Talent — I can do it more often
Game Changer — I can do it in games
Each card links to the R81 pathway: Freedom → Flair → Purpose
Children can see what they are improving, while parents get a clear picture of their development.

Below is an example of the Freedom Skills Card, used with children in Years 1–2.
It shows the seven skills we track and the three simple progress levels coaches use to show what a child is trying, doing more often and demonstrating in games.
