You see the potential.But is your child developing the way they should?
These are exactly the questions sports science can help answer.
Assess. Don't guess.
Start with the facts
ASP Sports Science Assessment
R750Approximately 60 minutes
A 60-minute profile of the athlete on the floor at Wanderers. We measure the qualities that actually show up in games — not a treadmill time.
- Speed and the first metres of acceleration
- Agility and change of direction
- Power, strength and movement quality
- Running mechanics on video
The session is read by sports scientists — numbers joined to how the athlete actually moves. Not a printout from a machine.
- Movement video reviewed frame by frame
- Force, timing and mechanics put together
- The limiter is named, not guessed
A number only means something in context. We compare the athlete using ASP's historical performance data — not a random internet average.
- Appropriate performance context, not a generic percentile
- Twenty years of athlete development behind the comparison
- Left and right, where it is relevant
You receive an individual sports science report — written for the parent and the athlete, specific enough to act on.
- Typically within approximately 48 hours
- Clear findings, not a data dump
- What is strong, and what is worth developing
Then you sit with the Sports Director. Science with a human on the other side of it. Ask the questions you actually have.
- Online consultation, no extra appointment hunt
- Walk through the findings together
- The conversation belongs to you
You leave knowing what to develop next, what can wait, and whether High Performance training is appropriate. Assess. Don't guess.
- Priorities, not a 40-drill wish list
- What the sport coach still owns
- Training is a separate conversation — only where it fits
Answers, not tests
What will you actually learn?
Parents aren't buying a stopwatch session. They're buying clarity about their child.
- How fast is my child?
- How effectively do they accelerate?
- How well do they change direction?
- How do they move when they run?
- Where are their physical strengths?
- What areas need development?
- How do their results compare in an appropriate performance context?
- What should we work on next?

Your child's sport coach has a game to teach. ASP focuses specifically on developing the physical athlete required to play it.
Speed
Speed matters at every level.How you develop it should change.
Age 9
Foundations
Build movement quality, coordination and the first acceleration patterns — without rushing the athlete.
Age 13
Development
Turn talent into repeatable speed: mechanics, change of direction, and strength that supports sprinting.
Age 17
Performance
Sharpen game speed for higher-level competition — measured, coached, and progressed with data.
Acceleration
How quickly can the athlete get moving?
Game speed
Can they use their speed effectively in competition?
Agility
Can they decelerate and change direction efficiently?
Quickness
Can they react and move before their opponent?
Mechanics
Is the way they run helping or limiting them?

Technology
What the eye can't see, data can help reveal.
The athlete still has to compete. Our job is to understand the athlete underneath the performance — force, symmetry, power — then decide what is worth developing. We don't claim to predict injury. We identify development priorities.

“We knew he had talent. We did not know why he looked a step late over the first metres. The assessment made it obvious — and the plan was specific, not generic.”
“It feels like a proper sports science practice, not a side-hustle gym. The report came back quickly and the consultation treated us like adults.”
“She started winning the 50-50s she used to lose. The physical change was real, but the confidence in games was what we noticed first.”
