Set-up
All available players run 2 miles at their own pace on a measured course. Record every individual time; this is the baseline you'll compare at midpoint and end of camp.
Coaching points
- Encourage honest pacing — no sprinting off then dying; you want a real number
- Note who finishes strong versus who fades; tells you about aerobic base before a ball is kicked
- Doubtful players (Bianchi, Haddad) do a supervised walk-jog only — protect them
Progressions
- N/A — this is a test, not a drill; results inform the BUILD phase load
- Flag any player finishing above 15 min for an individual conditioning plan
