CAT Athleticism Scoring
Combine Athleticism Testing powered by Matrix Analytical Solutions
What is CAT?
CAT (Combine Athletic Testing) is a standardized athletic assessment used by performance centers, clubs, and college recruiters to evaluate raw athletic potential. It includes 9 tests and generates a single CAT Score that is adjusted for age and stature.
Fair Scoring
Adjusted for age and stature so results are comparable across athletes.
Full-Body Athleticism
Measures strength, speed, agility, and explosiveness.
Evaluator-Trusted
Used by schools, performance centers, and scouts nationwide.
How CAT Was Developed
The CAT Score was developed through decades of kinesiology and exercise science research. At its core is the Motor Performance Study from Michigan State University — a landmark, long-term study that followed over 1,200 youth to explore how physical growth and motor skill development relate to athletic potential.
Building on those findings and additional university-level research, CAT created a 9-test protocol designed to assess critical attributes of athleticism — including speed, power, balance, coordination, and more. Each test is selected with purpose and scored with adjustments for age and stature, ensuring fair comparisons across athletes of all sports and body types.
