Testing Standards & Protocols.
Every Lockerroom test is run the same way, on the same NCAA-compliant laser equipment, with every attempt recorded by Lockerroom staff. That is what lets athletes, coaches and scouts compare a result from one event, one athlete or one season with another and trust the comparison.

What Makes A Result Repeatable
A number is only useful if the next number can be compared with it. Four things have to stay fixed for that to be true, and Lockerroom fixes all four at every event.
The Lockerroom Protocol Principles
The specifics differ by test — a 40-yard dash and a bench press are not run the same way — but every test on every sport's list follows the same five principles.
| Principle | What it means at a Lockerroom event |
|---|---|
| Warm-up first | Every athlete completes a structured warm-up after check-in and before any timed or measured attempt, so the first attempt is not a cold one. |
| Defined attempts | Each test specifies how many attempts an athlete gets and which result is recorded. The rule is the same for every athlete at the station. |
| Rest between attempts | Athletes are given recovery between attempts and between stations so fatigue from one test does not become the result of the next. |
| Timing start and stop defined per test | For laser-timed tests the clock starts on the first beam break and stops on the last; for shuttle, T-drill and L-drill the gate records entry and exit. Jumps are measured to a fixed reference and reps are counted to a stated standard. |
| Recorded by staff, synced to the athlete | Lockerroom staff record each result at the station. Results sync to the athlete's dashboard and personalized score sheet. |
Our Verified Results Policy
A Lockerroom result is recorded by Lockerroom staff, at a Lockerroom testing session, on NCAA-compliant laser equipment, following the protocol for that test. It is then synced to the athlete's Lockerroom profile. Athletes do not enter or edit their own performance results, which is the difference between a verified result and a self-reported one.
On the College Ready and Elite Athlete plans, those results are displayed as verified performance results on the athlete's profile, and Elite Athlete adds a verified athlete badge and priority recruiter visibility. Every tested athlete, on any plan, receives a personalized score sheet built from the same recorded results.
What "Verified" Means
- Recorded by Lockerroom staff at the station
- Timed on NCAA-compliant laser equipment
- Run to the published protocol for that test
- Synced to the athlete's Lockerroom profile
- Shown as verified on College Ready & Elite Athlete
Who Uses Lockerroom Standards
Testing Standards FAQ
Why does a standardized protocol matter?
Because a result is only meaningful next to another result. If the equipment, setup, start and stop rules or number of attempts change, the two numbers are not comparable. Lockerroom keeps those fixed so a time from one event can be set against a time from another.
What makes Lockerroom results NCAA-compliant?
Lockerroom tests with NCAA-compliant laser equipment and standardized protocols, and results are recorded by Lockerroom staff rather than self-reported. That is what lets the results hold up for recruiting. Eligibility itself is determined by the NCAA Eligibility Center, so always confirm requirements there.
Can I submit my own times to my Lockerroom profile?
Performance results on a Lockerroom profile come from Lockerroom testing sessions, recorded by our staff and synced to the athlete's dashboard. That is what makes them verified on the College Ready and Elite Athlete plans.
Do protocols differ by sport?
The test list differs — football, basketball, soccer and track & field each have their own — and other sports are tested on request. The principles are the same for every test: warm-up, defined attempts, rest, a defined start and stop, and staff recording. See the full test lists by sport.
