VALD SmartSpeed Testing
Auckland's professional sprint timing service. Laser-accurate 10m, 20m, and 40m splits — the same VALD system used by pro teams worldwide, run on every ATL athlete and squad.
HOW IT WORKS
How we use SmartSpeed gates
Setup & Calibration
Gates positioned at 10m, 20m, 40m splits with laser alignment verified before every session.
Test Protocols
Athletes run standardised sprint, agility, and change-of-direction protocols, every rep auto-captured.
Data & Reporting
Split times sync instantly. Reports land in your inbox within 48h with targeted recommendations.
WHY IT MATTERS
Why a stopwatch can't coach speed
Stopwatch
±0.20s variance, human reaction time swamps the signal you're trying to measure.
SmartSpeed
±0.01s laser accuracy, used by pro teams worldwide and national sporting bodies.
The difference
Over a 20m sprint, stopwatch error is 200× larger than true training effects at block 1.
