HEIGHT

• A measurement of the athlete’s height with shoes off.

• With the athlete’s shoes off, they will step onto the platform of a stadiometer and face outwards. They will be instructed to stand flat-footed, tall, and with the chin tucked. A headpiece will be lowered until it contacts the head of the athlete. The device will indicate the athlete’s height for the evaluator.

STANDING ONE HAND REACH

• A measurement of the athlete’s standing vertical reach with their dominant hand.

• With the athlete’s shoes on, they will stand perpendicular to the wall and reach as high as possible with their dominant hand. Athlete’s must remain flat footed during the test. The highest point of contact will be measured to determine the athlete’s one hand reach.

COUNTER-MOVEMENT JUMP

• A measurement of the athlete’s lower body power output with a stationary counter-movement jump.

• The athlete will position themselves directly underneath the vertec device. The athlete will complete a stationary counter-movement jump while touching the highest possible point on the vertec device with their dominant hand. Athlete’s will be instructed to start with their arms above their head to help utilize their arm drive to maximize their results. The athlete will be allowed unlimited attempts until there are 2 consecutive misses. This allows the athlete to obtain the most accurate result. There will be 15-20 seconds of rest between each jump.

• The highest touched point will be recorded and converted into a stationary vertical jump measurement by subtracting the athlete’s standing reach from their jumping reach.

• Coaches will utilize both the absolute vertical jump measurement (i.e 25 inches) as well as the highest touched point (i.e 120 inches or 10’0”) to help with the selection process.

• The absolute vertical jump measurement is a measurement that can determine an athlete’s lower body power output. Not only is it important for the athlete’s jumping ability, but it can also serve as an indicator for speed, agility, and stability on the court.
