The Change of Direction Test Every Youth Footballer Should Know

Most parents track sprint speed. But in football, the match-winning moments rarely happen in a straight line.

The 505 test measures something a 40m sprint never will — how quickly an athlete can accelerate, brake, turn, and go again. That sequence happens dozens of times per match. If the braking mechanic is off, they're losing ground every single time.

We had a youth footballer improve their 505 score by 30% in seven weeks — through targeted work on how they were absorbing force on the turn and driving back out of it.

We run this with every athlete we assess.

DM us "TEST" to find out your athlete's score.
