Height & Weight

Height and weight are the starting point every other measurement is read alongside. They don't predict anything on their own, but club and representative selectors expect to see them, and tracking them over time shows how you're growing or changing between combines. Weight is recorded for staff use only — it never appears on your Player Card.

• A stadiometer (height board) against a flat wall
• Digital scale, placed on a hard, level surface

1. 1Remove your shoes and socks are fine to keep on.
2. 2Stand on the stadiometer's base with your heels, back and head lightly touching the board, looking straight ahead.
3. 3Staff lower the headpiece to the top of your head and read your height in centimetres.
4. 4Step onto the scale, stand still and centred, and staff record your weight in kilograms.

One reading each for height and weight.

• Shoes and socks off for an accurate height reading.
• Empty pockets before stepping on the scale.

• No specific safety concerns — this is a static measurement, not a physical test.
