Assessment Guide

Find the Right Starting Point
The Athletic Centre

Families decide Perform entry themselves using a short checklist for their athlete's age group. There is no assessment day and nothing to submit. Download the full guide for the age-specific checklists.

Spark & Develop

Open registration. Athletes may register directly for any Spark or Develop program.

Perform

Family self-assessment. Use the checklist for your athlete's age group. If they meet the number shown, Perform is the right fit and you can register directly. Coaches check placement in the first two weeks, and can recommend a move to Develop if needed.
