Game Level is the player’s preeminent score and serves as the master point of comparison to other players. Players get a Game Level score soon after trainers witness a single live performance, usually a practice, scrimmage or game.
Game Level is based on three scores–Skills, Soccer IQ, and Competitive Zeal–all of which are highly relatable to one another. These scores however, are combined as a single estimated score; simplifying the message of how trainers think players did overall, thus allowing players to access these scores quickly.
