Player Development Program levels & forms
Younger players in the PDP shooting program begin at Level 0 (couch potato) and end at Level 12 (McDonald's All American). With practice students are usually able to pass one level per week.
(I actually did not use these levels last year, though we taught the same skills. I'm leaving this page up as an indication of the development expected of beginning students.)
