Canadian Sport Institute Pacific invites athletes between the ages of 15 and 22 to test their capacity for sport performance at PODIUM SEARCH on Saturday at the Richmond Olympic Oval.
Those who perform exceedingly well may be contacted for further assessment and an offer to enroll in one of Canadian Sport Institute Pacific's Sport Programs.
Back for its third year, PODIUM SEARCH is a free, half-day athlete identification camp offering athletes basic physiological field testing and anthropometric test results to measure how they stack up against national team standards.
Assessments include the vertical jump test, medicine ball throw, and 30 metre sprint run among other field tests in use by national team programs. Each participant will walk away with a copy of their test scores and an understanding of what it takes to become part of Canada's sporting elite.
In addition to the testing events, athletes will hear from keynote speaker Ben Rutledge, 2008 Olympic Gold Medallist, Rowing.
Registration opens at 8 a.m. For more information visit csipacific.ca.
