I ran into this program called Grips!

The grips program is an objective player development program, like karate players start at the white grip and master advancing skill sets until they reach the black belt / grip. The thing I like about this is it is a guide for players to move from one level to the next. I think a lot of programs in the country don’t have that clear and defined method of moving to the next level.

This gives kids a goal and guidelines to follow for their development. Look at the grips program for your program.
