Set-up

Fitness-test day — beep test at session open before fatigue accumulates. All players run to failure. Record final level and shuttle for each player. Compare to baseline 2-mile run data for fitness trajectory. Coach notes who has improved work rate and who hasn't trained.

Coaching points

  • This tells me who's put the work in since Monday — no hiding.
  • Push through levels 10 and 11; that's where high school games are decided.
  • Mental composure under physical stress — stay controlled, don't panic-sprint.

Progressions

  • Use midpoint scores to redistribute fitness groups for interval training later in camp.
  • Flag any player who drops significantly below baseline for a conditioning check.
