Each kick to be executed under three seconds. • There is little need for rest and each test should take around 90 seconds.

Excellent.......................Target didn’t move and ball travelled quickly with low trajectory and perfect spin. 4 points............ Very good......................Target receives within one step of the cone, low trajectory and good spin. 3 points……..... Effective........................Target receives with a foot inside circle, good trajectory and spin. 2 points……..... Ineffective.....................Target had to leave circle to mark ball, good trajectory and spin. 1 point.............. Poor..............................Target unable to mark football, poor trajectory and spin. • Any kick executed beyond the three-second timeframe will incur a one-point penalty. • A floater that hits the mark should be docked one point. • The scorer will be the sole judge of the ranking of each kick. • The recorder of the scores will assist the caller as the test takes place.
