This drill uses 2 or 3 Dashr|Blue Timing gates (3 if you have the 5 split). You likely already have your devices registered, if not – please check out the Dash Drill as it is the same process.
Step-By-Step Instructions
- To get to this drill go to Sport Collections > Cricket > Sprint 17.68m.
- To set-up this drill you will have a starting gate on mini tripods.
- If you are including a split, set that up on regular tripods to capture the athlete running through.
- Set-up the finish laser on mini tripods or regular tripods at the lowest setting.
- Power on all lasers, and connect them one at a time.
- Once all devices are connected, press “Start Testing”.
Running The Drill
- Check in the appropriate athlete (details here) – optional.
- The test is performed while carrying a cricket bat. Start from a stationary position, with the bat the timing gate laser (set to trigger when the bat leaves).
- When ready, the player sprints along the pitch, reaching out and sliding the bat through the final gate. The player is encouraged to continue running hard past the finish line.
- With QuickRun on, block the start laser with the bat until you get the “GO!” message. Leave the laser when you want, and you get a result when you cross the next gate.
- With QuickRun off (option in settings) you will see “Set” and “Reset” buttons to give you control of when a test starts. Press “Set” once the athlete’s bat is in the laser and ready to take off. Press “Reset” to clear the time for the next athlete.
