Term 3 Strength & Conditioning Testing Results – Week 1 Baseline

Our Term 3 Strength & Conditioning athletes have completed their initial performance testing.

These assessments establish an objective baseline across the physical qualities that support long-term athletic development and sporting performance. The results help our coaches identify each athlete’s strengths, development priorities and appropriate training progressions.

Athletes will complete the testing battery again in Week 8, allowing us to measure individual progress across speed, strength, power and force production.

Testing Battery

Depending on their age group and testing session, athletes completed assessments including:

• 10m Sprint

• Medicine Ball Toss

• Broad Jump

• Vertical Jump

• Reactive Strength Index

• Velocity-Based Squat

• Velocity-Based Bench Press

• Left and Right Grip Strength

• Chin-Ups

• Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull

A dash indicates that a result was not recorded during the initial testing session.

Some missing data will be completed during this week’s sessions. In other cases, an athlete may have been unable to complete a test because of injury or another individual limitation. Testing will only be completed when it is appropriate and safe for the athlete.

Development: Ages 11–13

The Development pathway focuses on movement competency, technical lifting proficiency and the progressive development of strength and power.

At this stage, athletes are learning how to produce and control force through high-quality movement. The priority is not simply lifting more weight, but developing the physical foundations required to train safely and effectively over the long term.

These results provide the starting point for the Development athletes. Training throughout the term will continue to emphasise movement quality, technical competency, progressive strength development and the ability to produce force efficiently.

Performance: Ages 14–18

The Performance pathway prepares athletes for the increasing physical demands of competitive sport.

Training places greater emphasis on maximal strength, explosive power, rate of force development and the effective transfer of gym-based qualities into sprinting, jumping, change of direction and sporting performance.

Velocity-based training allows our coaches to monitor movement speed and better match training loads to each athlete’s current abilities.

These baseline results show the range of physical qualities across the Performance group. Some athletes currently demonstrate stronger force production, while others show greater jumping ability, upper-body power or relative strength.

The results will be used to guide individual coaching decisions throughout the term rather than ranking athletes against one another.

What Happens Next?

The Week 1 results provide each athlete with an individual starting point.

Over the remainder of Term 3, sessions will progressively develop:

• Movement quality under load

• Lower-body and upper-body strength

• Explosive power

• Rate of force development

• Jumping and landing ability

• Sprint acceleration

• Athletic resilience

The full testing battery will be repeated in Week 8 so athletes and parents can compare the initial and final results.

Our goal is not simply to produce higher testing scores. It is to develop stronger, more powerful and more capable athletes through structured, age-appropriate and technically precise coaching.

Missing Results

Some athletes currently have incomplete testing data.

Where appropriate, missing assessments will be completed during this week’s sessions. Some missing data may be due to an athlete being unable to complete a test because of injury or another individual limitation.

The health and safety of the athlete will always take priority, and no assessment will be completed unless it is appropriate for them to do so.
