What We Test

The Football Testing Battery

Every EPP football assessment covers these five tests using Photon Sports timing gates, high-speed cameras, and force-platform analysis. Results delivered as a full written report within 48 hours.

30m sprint with 10m & 20m splits

Identifies acceleration phase weaknesses — the most common deficit in youth footballers.

Force-velocity profile

Tells us whether your player needs more gym work or more sprint-specific training. Critical for pre-season programming.

5-0-5 bilateral change of direction

Measures cutting ability left vs right. Asymmetry above 10% is an ACL risk flag — found in the majority of youth players we test.

Countermovement jump

Power output and reactive strength — predictors of explosive first step and aerial ability.

Sprint mechanics camera analysis

High-speed cameras capture overstriding and hip drive — invisible flaws GPS trackers cannot detect.

What the Data Shows

Why This Matters for Football

In our data from 300+ assessments, youth footballers are the most likely sport group to present with a velocity deficit — they have adequate strength but insufficient speed-specific training. Without an FV profile, coaches are prescribing the wrong intervention.
