How the test works
Each player has six kicks to six different targets.
Targets are randomly called as they receive the football.
The calls are:
* 'short left' or 'short right' (20m)
* 'middle left' or 'middle right' (30m)
* 'long left' or 'long right'(40m)
Another player will be in the centre of a 2m diameter target circle to mark the ball
Kicks will be rated as follows:
* 5 points – excellent
Target didn’t move and ball travelled quickly with low trajectory and perfect spin
* 4 points – very good
Target receives within one step off the cone, low trajectory and good spin
* 3 points – effective
Target receives with a foot inside circle, good trajectory and spin
* 2 – ineffective
Target had to leave circle to mark ball, good trajectory and spin
* 1 – poor
Target unable to mark football, poor trajectory and spin
Players will wear football boots and their kicks will be taped from two angles and made available for clubs to assess.
