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.
