Standing long jump.

There used to be a program called SPARQ which tested several things including long jump. Some of the larger programs which used to include SPARQ testing included in their testing, have since discontinued them due to questions on relativeness to baseball skills and having some of the players get hurt when doing the testing.

It now looks like the SPARQ site, which was part of Nike, has been taken down.

I would say that 116 inches is really good! My son is a freshman and he did 84 inches. He is pretty athletic. The school record is somewhere around 110 inches. This school has about 3000 students and that kid went on to be a safety in college at a good D1. Your boy has some hops!

My son had a couple good back to back outings at the AZ Fall Classic during the Sparq testing. So I went to his site here to find the Original Sparq site to see if it was still up and running. http://myespn.go.com/blogs/hig...r--Fall-Classic.html If you go to their link below the article you can get into the Sparq site. Yes, Nike bought them out and they are up and running better than ever they say. Sparqs program is also affiliated with the ESPN Rise Program still. Hope you can find the long jump info there. They don't do the long jump for baseball ratings. You may need to check with the football section for ratings. Hope this helps!
