Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then create the form.
- Add a player info block: name, age, position, evaluator, date.
- Build a rating table with one row per criterion and columns for score, brief evidence, and comments.
- For each criterion write short observable descriptors for low, middle, and high scores.
- Add an overall recommendation section: strong yes, yes, maybe, no, with space for reasons.
- Include a totals row and a standout or concern flag.
- Add a short evaluator guide at the top on how to score and when to write comments.
Output format Markdown form ready to print, with headings, a table, and tick boxes. One to two pages. Direct and practical tone. Leave out selection policy, legal language, and any rules not supplied.
Guardrails
- Do not invent criteria, scores, or selection rules. Ask when unsure and flag any assumption.
- Tell the user to check league, school, or governing body rules for tryout and safeguarding requirements.
- Remind the user to keep completed forms confidential and follow local data protection rules.
