THE AGILITY STAR

This test challenges the athletes' coordination, spatial awareness, change of direction, and quickness.

5 light pods are placed in a star shape on the floor.
1 light pod is placed in the centre of the star shape. This is "home base".

Beginning at home base in the centre of the star, the athlete taps the pod with either foot when it lights up and races to tap the next pod that lights up. After each pod is tapped and the light is extinguished, the athlete returns to the home base. The goal is to tap out 15 pods in the fastest possible time.

Reactive Intelligence Wall

This test uses the same Reactive Intelligence Wall as professional athletes in F1, the NFL and NBA. The Cognition test measures reaction time, decision making, and attention skills.

6 light pods are positioned on a vertical wall and the athlete must tap out as many [blue] coloured pods as possible in 30 seconds. Athletes will need to be on their game because each pod expires after 2.5 seconds and distraction pods will light up in other colours to try to catch you out! The test will immediately end after 3 foul strikes. The goal is to tap out as many pods in 30 seconds without fouling out.

BEEP TEST

Run 20m between two lines before the sound of the beep.
Every round the time allowed gets shorter.

There are 21 Levels in total.

• You must have one foot behind the line at the start beep
• You must have one foot across the line at the finish beep
• one warning at each level if you leave early (yellow card will be shown)
• one warning at each level if you miss the beep (yellow card will be shown)
• 2nd notification is a stop. (red card will be shown)

Athletes are allowed one attempt at the beep test

20M SLED PUSH

Once the athlete is in position and still, count down by saying “Three, two, one, GO!” The timer automatically starts when the timing system is triggered by the athlete’s movement and finishes when the athlete’s chest crosses the finish line triggering the timing system.

Faults:

• Athlete movement on the line
• False start
• Lane violation
• In the event of a fault the athlete’s score is not recorded
• If the athlete’s run is disrupted by a lane violation or other disturbance, the athlete must be given the opportunity to either take their time recorded for the current attempt or run again. If the athlete chooses to run again, the disrupted time is not recorded

40 YARD DASH

“The 40” is a test of pure speed.
You’ll need explosive power off the line and solid acceleration throughout the 36.5 meter sprint.
