Team Testing & Support

Our Team & Squad Testing service provides sports teams, clubs, and performance squads with detailed, science-backed physical profiling of their athletes. Conducted by our students under expert supervision, testing protocols are tailored to suit your specific sport, season timing, and performance objectives. Whether assessing individual athletes or whole squads, our flexible, data-driven approach equips coaches and support staff with the insights needed to make informed decisions that accelerate progress and success.

What can we test?

Our comprehensive Team Testing includes strength profiling through both isometric and dynamic assessments, as well as power output measurements using vertical jump and reactive strength tests. We evaluate sprint speed and agility with change of direction assessments, alongside detailed body composition analysis. Aerobic fitness is assessed using either lab-based or field-testing protocols tailored to your sport’s specific demands. Utilising industry-standard equipment and validated testing methods, we deliver accurate, insightful results that help coaches and athletes make informed decisions to optimise performance and training outcomes.

What are the benefits?

Our testing service helps identify individual and team strengths and weaknesses, guiding training priorities and goal setting for optimal results. By benchmarking athlete or squad data, it enables meaningful comparative analysis to track progress and inform decision-making. This evidence-based approach enhances understanding among coaches, athletes, and practitioners, while evaluating the effectiveness of training programmes. Whether you’re in pre-season, mid-season, or review phase, our service supports performance and player development with accurate, actionable insights.

Pricing

Prices vary based on group size, required testing protocols, and staffing needs.

Throughout the session, students will be conducting the tests whilst supervised by staff. You are directly supporting our mission to provide students with valuable, real-world experience.
