At Play Ball USA we know every effective program begins with proper goals, and these goals can only be created once you know what your strengths and weaknesses are.  We offer  sports specific evaluations, functional movement screenings, and body composition testing. All evaluations are meant to be a starting point in your jouney towards your goal.  

SPORT SPECIFIC EVALUATIONS

If you are an athlete looking to improve you performance on the field we must first examine your athletic abilities. Your upper and lower body strength, upper and lower body power, core strength, muscular endurance, agility and flexibility will all be evaluated. Tests are altered based on training history and sports played.

FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT SCREENING

The functional movement screening is designed to identify mobility and stability issues one may have within their movement patterns. There are 7 different tests which examine the entire body. Most importantly the screening helps detect any imbalances or asymmetries in the body. If you expect to perform at your highest level on the field and avoid injury, your body must be balanced and able to move freely all while having proper stability. This screening will allow you to understand your body in greater detail.

COMPLETE ATHLETE SCREENING

This option combines the sports specific evaluation and functional movement screening. Not only will your athletic attributes be analyzed but your movement patterns will be examined as well. The complete athlete screening will discover what areas you need to work on and ensure you are balanced.

BODY COMPOSITION TESTING

 Your body composition is important when it comes to living a healthy life and performing your best in athletics. It is not just enough to know how much you weigh, it is important to know what percentage of your weight is fat free mass. This a great way to set goals and see how much you progress.
