Measuring Player Skills: The FET Test in Practice Check

The FET performance test in the PraxisFussball app provides coaches with a standardized tool for evaluating football-specific skills. Instead of subjective assessments, the module enables comparable measurements in six key areas: ball control, sprint speed, dribbling, shooting technique, throw-in, and heading. The app guides users step by step through each test – for example, timing dribbling on a set course or evaluating heading precision and jump height.

In practical terms, this means coaches can objectively document player performances and compare developments throughout the season. Does a youth player show weaknesses in shooting accuracy during the test? The data provides concrete starting points for targeted training exercises. Test results flow directly into digital player profiles and are linked to training planning and season statistics.

Particularly valuable is the simplicity of application: Without expensive measuring devices or complicated protocols, clubs of all performance levels receive a scientifically sound evaluation tool. Integration into daily training succeeds via mobile use on the pitch – results are automatically saved and can be analyzed later at leisure. This turns sporadic talent scouting into a systematic development process.
