Really, really do not recommend using beep test for fitness training. It really does not in any way line up with the type of fitness required for soccer. If you want to use it as a test go ahead, but even then know that it isn't really testing soccer fitness at all where your rate of recovery is as important as anything else. The beep test is really only meaningful as a measure of your performance on a beep test. With that in mind, since the only use would be as a test and only as a measure of your performance on a beep test, any of the many apps on the app store should do the job just fine when you need to run one.

For beep tests in college--yes, if you play soccer in college you will very likely be required to get a certain score on a fitness test of some sort. I've had kids in 4 different college programs and every one has done some sort of testing not just beginning of season but throughout the season. They've used beep test, man-u, and yoyo. Some require higher scores as season progresses--others have had the same minimum but just kept testing. Sort of relevant, all of the programs were total crap and quality of training didn't come close to what they got with local youth coaches. [/quote]

For clarification, are you saying that all four of the soccer programs at your kids' respective schools were total crap?[/quote]

Seems that way [/quote]
