Students will partake in a physical screening session, analysing their physical attributes and areas of improvement.

Following this, students will carry out a generic technical motorskills session to assess their suitability for our programme.

Please Note: We regularly test the physical attributes of every student in the Athlete Academy to ensure that they will not be at significant risk of injury/burn out. This is due to the high level of physical training we carry out each week.
