2009, 2010, 2011 boys were tested. 2012 boys were not tested as it was determined that their results would be more relevant as sophomores and above.

How does one compare the times when some girls took 2 touches with the ball and others took 5 touches with the ball during the twenty yard sprint?
The only way to get a fair time would be for the girls to work there way thru a course set up with cones or speed sticks.

Girls got very clear instructions on how many times they were required to touch the ball before theier runs.

That makes sense. I watched girls take a different number of touches.

so girls were told how many times they could touch the ball?
so you could play long touches and maybe only have two cover that distance compared to someone that may of kept the ball close so no one could get it and took 5 touches to cover the distance?
i guess what i a trying to figure out was this just a speed trial or was it judged on skill and speed?

I thought it gave all our players a chance to see the competition around them and from other states. I did not get a chance to go but was overjoyed with the comments from all 13 of my players that went. I think this was awesome and look for more to come next season. As a retired college coach it gives a coach a chance to see local talent that may need to fill some shoes this year and to get a feel on some talent for the future.
Thanks Andrew H for all your help.

I think dribbling a soccer ball would be counted as a skill...combined with running would make it the latter.
