Junior School Sport

SportsKey offers Parents and Carers (and/or sports organisations) an evidence-based, objective assessment of their child’s athletic potential, strengths and focus areas, taking into account their stage of development and growth.

SportsKey cordially invites Pymble Ladies’ College Junior girls aged U9 to U12, i.e. born in 2011 to 2014, to a FREE Athlete Talent Profiling event during the April school holidays.

SportsKey events last approximately three hours, ensuring that every child will have the opportunity to complete the following assessments:

  • Growth and maturity status
  • Predicted adult height
  • Speed and acceleration
  • Change-of-direction ability
  • Motor skill and balance
  • Hand-eye coordination
  • Foot-eye coordination
  • Throwing technique
  • Throwing power
  • Power
  • Visual skill
  • Anticipation
  • Decision-making

Additional fun and competitive games are conducted in small teams throughout the event, providing children with plenty of opportunities to test their skills.

SportsKey compiles all results and provides these to Parents and Carers via an online dashboard. The report for each child will provide the individual child’s scores in each assessment, as well as comparisons to their peers and identification of their strengths and focus areas. 

With decades of experience supporting young athletes, the SportsKey team understands that young athletes develop at different times, and that patience and persistence are the keys for all junior athletes to realise their potential.

The program has space for 15 students (per year group) and is offered to the first 15 students registered.
