Running Athlete Testing Days
A testing day is one of the highest-value events a youth training facility can run: a few hours on a Saturday turns into a baseline for every athlete on your floor, a lead-generation event for parents who have never trained with you, and - if you set it up right - the start of a recurring revenue line. This guide covers both sides of running one: the operational playbook (protocols, station setup, staffing, and the mistakes that wreck your data on a first attempt) and the business side (what to charge, what it costs you to run, and how a single testing day turns into ongoing parent engagement instead of a one-time invoice).
Start with how to run a youth athlete testing day for the operator playbook, then read how much you should charge for a testing day for pricing benchmarks pulled from real combine vendors.
