caught up with Pre-Elite director Michael Ratliff to learn more about their unique Monday night training sessions at CHCA&#8217;s Lindner Family Stadium Complex. Check out the video below to hear him break down the Monday night age-group training and discuss the benefits it provides to both players and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Michael Ratliff talks Pre-Elite&#039;s Monday Night Training | Kings Hammer Cincinnati\/NKY\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rSmeBOU76HU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From The National Technical Desk: Player Report Cards &amp; Self-Reflection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Kings Hammer, we believe development goes beyond practices and games.&nbsp;<em>True growth happens when players are given the chance to reflect, take ownership, and connect with their coaches and families.<\/em>&nbsp;Our Player Report Cards are designed to support exactly that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kings Hammer is unique because we can track progress at both the individual and club-wide level. Every player benefits from a shared curriculum and teaching methodology across our network, creating the best possible environment for growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are Player Report Cards?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each season, both players and coaches complete evaluations that spark meaningful dialogue. Players rate themselves using a traffic light system (Green for exceeding expectations, Yellow for meeting expectations, Red for areas needing improvement), while coaches provide detailed feedback with strengths, areas to improve, and action steps. This will come through Playmetrics &amp; live in your forms tab.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By comparing both perspectives, players see where their self-view aligns with their coach\u2019s.&nbsp;<em>This creates space for honest reflection, technical goal setting, and conversations that keep development at the center of the journey.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why it Matters?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Report cards are not about stats. They focus on players being teachable, resilient, proactive, and team-oriented. They also highlight&nbsp;<em>technical growth<\/em>&nbsp;such as first touch, passing, striking, communication, and decision making. Then layers alongside mental, physical, and emotional qualities. Together, with coaches guiding, players striving, and families supporting, we can create an environment where every player grows to their fullest potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I look forward to seeing these reflections in action and watching our players continue to take ownership of their development. <strong>Go Kings Hammer!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8211; Bronson Gambale, KH National Technical Director<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-d05cb3ef wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/EliteandPreEliteCamp-DSC02463-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2090\" style=\"width:250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/EliteandPreEliteCamp-DSC02463-edited-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/EliteandPreEliteCamp-DSC02463-edited-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/EliteandPreEliteCamp-DSC02463-edited-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/EliteandPreEliteCamp-DSC02463-edited-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/EliteandPreEliteCamp-DSC02463-edited-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/EliteandPreEliteCamp-DSC02463-edited-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/EliteandPreEliteCamp-DSC02463-edited-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1892\" height=\"1891\" src=\"https:\/\/kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/CincyChallenge-DSC04467-edited-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2096\" style=\"width:250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/CincyChallenge-DSC04467-edited-1.jpg 1892w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/CincyChallenge-DSC04467-edited-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/CincyChallenge-DSC04467-edited-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/CincyChallenge-DSC04467-edited-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/CincyChallenge-DSC04467-edited-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/CincyChallenge-DSC04467-edited-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1892px) 100vw, 1892px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2402\" height=\"2402\" src=\"https:\/\/kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/EliteandPreEliteGirlsCamp-DSC01816-edited-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2098\" style=\"width:250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/EliteandPreEliteGirlsCamp-DSC01816-edited-1.jpg 2402w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/EliteandPreEliteGirlsCamp-DSC01816-edited-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/EliteandPreEliteGirlsCamp-DSC01816-edited-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/EliteandPreEliteGirlsCamp-DSC01816-edited-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/EliteandPreEliteGirlsCamp-DSC01816-edited-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/EliteandPreEliteGirlsCamp-DSC01816-edited-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/legacy.kingshammer.com\/cincinnati\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/EliteandPreEliteGirlsCamp-DSC01816-edited-1-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2402px) 100vw, 2402px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bringing Home Hardware at the Cincinnati Champions Cup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our teams had a blast putting their skills to the test at the Cincinnati Champions Cup this month, and we had so much fun watching the action!
