The first week of preseason has come and gone and the girls are counting down the remaining 6 weeks left until we can start practicing as a team!! All of the coaches are impressed with everyones shape coming back into the year. So far, 6 people have passed the Beep Test...we know the other girls are going to beat it any day now!! They are all pushing themselves so hard that we know they are trying their best to get through it!
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Beep Test, it is a conditioning test that lets us measure the shape of each player coming back from the summer. It's a series of sprints that needs to be completed in a certain amount of time...don't worry, they get a break in between each sprint :)
Besides the Beep Test, the team is going through individual workouts (one-on-one with coaches, as well as group individuals...no more than 4 people at at time though--don't want to break any NCAA rules!!), team conditioning, lifting with Khyl (our Strength & Conditioning coach), and playing open gym together.
Towards the end of preseason, we will be sure to put up a video and some pictures of the player's workouts so you all can see how much work they are putting in for the upcoming season!

Is the beep test the Pacer test? If so, how many do they have to get?
ReplyDeleteThe Yo-Yo Beep Test is similar to the Pacer test; however, I believe it is a different set of levels and times and such. Same concept though. On the Beep test, there are different levels that different girls have to get to in order to pass, starting from 15.7 all the way to 16.3.
