Yo-Yo Test Setup

• Measure 20 meters from the furthest turning line (e.g., baseline at the other end of the court).
• Place cones at the 20m mark (middle of the cone is 20m).
• Place another line of cones 5m past the 20m line (this is the recovery line).
• Assign 1 judge/recorder per 5 participants (need 6 people total). Judges record scores on the Yo-Yo testing sheet.
• Have a speaker or sound system with the Yo-Yo audio loaded.

Yo-Yo Test Rules

• Players start at the cones and run to the far line and back.
• Players must return to the start line before the beep to be “safe.”
• Players then walk to the recovery cone and back before the next beep.
• Players must come to a complete stop before starting the next shuttle.

Warnings

• They break the line and start before the beep.
• They don’t make the line before the beep.

Important!

• Players must not take a warning and rest for 1 lap to increase their score.
• Players must attempt every length.
• The final score is the lap the athlete fully completed last! (not a warning lap)
