Each year the best 75 young players in Australia gather for the NAB AFL Draft Camp at the AIS Academy in Canberra. The camp is a key event in the lead-up to November's NAB AFL Draft, with the attendees given the opportunity to impress recruiters from the 16 AFL clubs. Each player is assessed on their ability through a number of tests relating to agility, speed, endurance, vertical jump and numerous other assessements.
The Draft Camp also allows AFL Clubs a one-on-one interview with the players.
The players are put through a variety of tests, including:
- Fitness Assessment (Height/weight, skin folds, arm length, hand span)
- Psychomotor Tests (Reaction time, decision making, peripheral awareness)
- Sprint, agility, vertical jump testing
- Shuttle Run (the infamous beep test)
- 3km Time-trail
- Kicking Assessement (new for 2009)
- General skills test
