Physical TESTING AT ONTARIO cHAMPIONSHIPS 2024
The Athlete Identification Process is used to select athletes for the provincial Team Ontario indoor and beach programs. ALL athletes that registered to be identified for Team Ontario programs (Tall Maples, Team Ontario Regional Program, Team Ontario Indoor, Team Ontario Beach) need to complete physical testing during Ontario Championships as part of the application process.
Athletes can attend the booth at any time while it’s open, and the process should take about 10 minutes per athlete.
For a list of physical testing stations and dates/times of when the physical testing booth will be open for 2024 Ontario Championships please see below.

HEIGHT
A measurement of the athlete’s height with shoes off.
With the athlete’s shoes off, heels, upper back and back of head flat against a wall, a flat object will be used to mark the top of the athlete’s head on the wall. The mark will be measured from the floor to determine the athlete’s height.
ONE HAND REACH
A measurement of the athlete’s vertical reach with one hand, measured by the middle finger.
With the athlete’s shoes on, they will stand perpendicular to the wall and reach as high as possible with their dominant hand. The spot where the middle finger can reach and maintain contact will be marked and measured for the athlete’s one-hand reach.
ATTACK VELOCITY
A measurement of an athlete’s spike velocity.
Athletes will be performing a standing attack. Pocket radar technology will be used to measure attack velocity.
SPIKE TOUCH
A measurement of the maximum spike height of an athlete with a full spike approach.
The athlete will position themselves at the desired distance from the vertec device and complete a full spike approach while touching the highest possible point on the vertec device. The athlete will then be given feedback as to where to position their start in order to achieve maximum height. Each athlete will receive 3 jumps with 15-20 seconds rest between each jump. The highest point touched will be recorded.
