10 Yard Sprint
The SCORE evaluation is based in part on acceleration, which is measured by the Sanford SCORE 10-Yard Sprint. You will need someone to keep time, a stop watch, a measuring tape (about 30 ft) and four cones or markers.
Note: you can perform the Sanford SCORE 10 Yard Sprint at the same time you do the Sanford SCORE Flying 10 Yard Sprint. If performed separately, please follow these instructions:
Instructions
SetUp
Place two cones approximately four feet apart to form a starting line. Place a second set of cones 10 yards away from the first set to create a running lane. The timer should stand at the 10-yard line, a few feet from the cones.
Test & Measure
The athlete starts in an upright position with his or her toes behind the starting line. The athlete sprints as fast as he or she can past the 10-yard line. The athlete will have three attempts to clock his or her fastest time.
Start the stopwatch at the athlete's first movement. Stop the watch when the athlete passes the 10-yard mark.
Calculate & Record
Record the time for each attempt to the nearest hundredth of a second (example: 1.71 sec). The fastest time will be used for the athlete's SCORE.
