GIVE YOUR ATHLETE AN EDGE
Developed by former professional football player Robert Drummond, RAPS (Redefining Athletic Performance System) is a unique base=line athletic assessment and evaluation tool that will help your high school athlete gain an advantage over their competition and become a top competitor in their field.
Using a patent-pending algorithm, RAPS is the first test of its kind to accurately measure both male and female athleticism based on five variables: change of direction, agility, power, strength and speed. Your RAPS Rating percentile (on a scale of 100%) tells you how you rank against other athletes who play your position and sport on both a global and national level. Think of it as your overall athletic grade.
More importantly, RAPS is as an evaluation tool for athletic trainers, coaches and even athletes themselves looking to improve upon their off-season strength and conditioning programs. You also will be given a RAPS Hurricane Score, based on a scale of 1 to 5 that reveal's your strengths and weakness on each of five variables or test tested. This infomation makes is possible for the development of a unique, personalized training program tailored to your athlete's specific needs.
A RAPS Assessment can be administered by just about anyone with a stopwatch and measuring tape. Your score report can be forwarded to colleges and universities. Athletes can compare themselves against other athletes across the country even Globally. Youth ages 8-12 can also be tested but only as an overall athlete and not for any specific sport. RAPS is a fun way to see progress, compete against yourself and enjoy the results of hard word as you see yourself progress overtime.
WHY USE RAPS RATING?
You can't improve what you don't know and you can't get better if you don't fully understand what it is you need to work on.
RAPS is unique in that it provides you with two pieces of key information: your overall atheticism and your sterength and weaknesses as an athlete compared to other athletes who play your specific position and sport. For coaches, trainers and parents, obtaining a RAPS Rating is an exciting way to see where your athletes rank. More importantly, discovering your athlete's strengths and weaknesses allows you to make adjustments or develop a new training program to benefit both the team and the individual players.
