If you are an athlete between the ages of 11 and 15 and have the skill to play at the varsity level you have to pass the state-mandated fitness test. That involves measuring your flexibility, core strength, quickness, and strength (kind of). 

Measuring all of the above is a positive thing for young athletes to make sure they can keep up physically and mentally, and also mitigate injuries at the higher athletic level. 

Unfortunately, many athletes cannot pass the required test(s) and some of the tests may not be the best measurement of true physical fitness. 

Tune in and learn more about this test!
