For Cricketers Preparing for Selection Trials (Best for Ages 12 & Up)

Get Your Cricketer Ready for the Yo-Yo Test

A 4-week field plan to build the pacing, turning, and stamina they need on test day.

THE REALITY

Watching your kid fall behind the beep at a selection trial is tough. They have the skill to make the squad, but the Yo-Yo test doesn't measure skill. It measures how well a player paces their runs and how efficiently they turn at the cone.

Two things cost young players the most: starting too fast and running out of gas, and taking wide, sliding turns that add extra distance on every shuttle. Both are fixable.

The Yo-Yo Prep Course is a simple 4-week plan that teaches your player to pace the test and turn efficiently, with video demos of every drill so they can see it done right.

Smarter Pacing: Learn what the speeds at Levels 13 through 17 feel like, so your player doesn't sprint early and fade late.

Sharper Turns: Learn a low, quick drop-step to change direction at the 20-meter cone without wasting energy.

One-time payment. Instant access to the 4-week plan and the video demo hub.

Air Force Veteran, Certified Youth Fitness Specialist & Youth Sports Advocate

I'm Coach Andrew. After 8+ years of working with young athletes, I've seen how much a smart pacing plan and a clean turn can matter on test day. I built this course to give players a simple, practical way to prepare, with clear drills, clear video examples, and a plan they can follow with a few cones and a patch of grass.

My Air Force background taught me to value preparation, and that's the idea behind this course: show up ready, so the test feels familiar instead of scary.

Questions Parents Ask About the Yo-Yo Prep Course

My kid is already playing a lot of cricket. Aren't they fit enough to pass?

Playing cricket builds match stamina, but the Yo-Yo test is a different kind of effort: repeated short, fast runs with brief recoveries and sharp turns. Players who pace poorly or take wide turns burn energy and run extra distance. This course focuses on pacing and turning, two areas where a player can save a lot of energy.

What age group is this program designed for?

The course is open to players 10–18. Yo-Yo testing typically starts at U13 selections in the Dallas area, so players 12 and up will get the most from it. Younger players can still use it to get comfortable with the format and practice clean turns.

Do we need a gym or special equipment?

No. All you need is a patch of grass (a backyard, park, or net facility), a few cones to mark the 20-meter grid, and a smartphone to watch the videos.

What if my athlete's trial is just a few days away vs. later this summer?

Start with the pacing and turning videos. A better pacing plan and a cleaner turn can help right away. If you have more time before trials, follow the full 4-week plan and build up steadily.

Is this safe for my player?

This is a general fitness plan, not medical advice. If your player has an injury or a health concern, check with a doctor before starting.

Is it a subscription or a one-time payment?

It's a one-time payment of $37. You get the 4-week plan as a PDF to download and keep, plus access to the video demo hub.
