Option 1 - Standing Vertical Jump
Coach Annie's Standing Vertical Jump - For this event, you will need a measuring instrument, some tape or post-it notes and an open space on the wall where you can jump vertically. In the video, they say to use chalk to mark your height on the wall, however this may not be your parents' favorite idea. Instead, we recommend you use some tape or a post-it. Make sure you record each attempt as we all know you that luck will have you jump the highest when you're not recording.
Stand next to the wall with your dominant hand reaching as high as it can while standing flat-footed. Put the tape/post-it in your dominant hand. Then bend your knees, reach your arms back, and jump as high as you can, extending your arms up, and placing the tape/post-it on the wall at the highest point.

Option 2 - Shuttle Run - 10m
Place two items (cones, bags, socks) 10 meters apart to create your track and count how many shuttle runs you can do in 1min. The video above is just an example and you should not stop at 4.
