what to expect
JOIN US FOR A REAL PRO DAY EXPERIENCE!
REGISTRATION
The first step upon arriving at the testing location is to register. You'll find the clearly marked registration desk, typically near the main venue entrance. Here, BAM staff will check you in and provide you with a floor identity band. Once that's done, you're all set!
ORIENTATION
Protocol demonstrations set the stage for your pro day! After warming up, the BAM operator will explain and demonstrate each test used to capture your performance data.
WARM-UPS
All participating athletes will engage in a 15-minute group warm-up session to stretch and prepare for the testing.
VERTICAL JUMP
Assesses an athlete's ability to exert maximum force in minimal time, measured through vertical or horizontal displacement—depending on sport-specific requirements.
MAX VERTICAL JUMP
Athlete starts within 15 feet of the Vertec. It is a running start vertical jump. Measurement is similar to the vertical jump but also includes athlete’s ability to coordinate and incorporate strength and power with reach.
SPRINT
Assessment to identify acceleration, peak speed, and speed endurance. Sprint times can be measured over different distances, based on the specifics of the sport.
REACTION SHUTTLE
Assesses the capacity to demonstrate how swiftly and effectively decisions are made and actions initiated, plus the brief interval of time it takes to react to an external stimulus, depending upon sport specifics.
AGILITY
Evaluation measures the ability to make quick changes of direction while moving at speed and the ability to move quickly and change directions depending upon sport specifics.
CLOSING
After completing all stations, athletes return to the registration desk to check out.
TEST RESULTS
Your results will be available 3-4 days after testing. The report will include data for all event participants. Each athlete will receive a BAMScore™ indicating their overall athletic assessment level, a breakdown of the trial details (raw data), and a performance gap measure.
