| How do different clubs use beep test? |
I think most use it the same way mostly preseason then again mid season. Not sure very many use it in this area. |
| it's pretty obvious if someone is not in shape. I think very few clubs use it. Very few clubs have actual fitness testing - if you're not fit in the first place, you're not on the team - or put on a lower team. |
|
Most GA/ECNL clubs use it to know where players are at the start of pre season. Every kid will need a different plan to be match fit.
In college if you do not pass the beep test you will not be allowed to train until you do |
Some colleges do that, not all. Some schools run beep test, some yoyo test, and some don’t do a test at all. That is strictly up to the coaches. |
No college program won’t to a base line test at the start of pre season |
| Can anyone recommend a good beep test app? Thanks |
How lazy are you? |
Asking for a recommendation isn't lazy... They are literally asking for a recommendation FROM SOCCER PEOPLE (presumably we're soccer people on this forum, right? RIGHT?) based off user's experiences here. They are choosing not to trust the "reviews" in the app store. |
Go with the paid version of “Bleep Test”. It has several versions of the IRT YO-YO & allows you to log a roster and keep multiple test results for use during evals, etc. |

Youth clubs really do not use it because you are paying for training. The fitness is something you do on your own. Yes, a club may break it out with an older team as a demonstration so that the first time someone does it is not on campus somewhere.
I do highly recommend that anyone going on to play in college get a pretty complete run down of what the coaches do for pre-season fitness testing and work. The absence of fitness work in club is one of the things that can really surprise kids moving on to college. Yes it is a big help to come in really fit, as opposed to being in good shape. |
Lol sure |
Why is that difficult for you to believe? |
In total it may be 7-8 minutes of running, if that is so difficult maybe playing the wrong sport? |
But what does that have to do with college programs using at as a test during preseason to gauge their players' baseline fitness levels? The players who are really fit are able to last much longer than 8 minutes. |
