Multisport Diagnostics Lab for Children

Find the 2–3 sports your child will actually love

AthLEOS helps parents understand a child's sport profile and choose several directions worth trying. It is not about choosing one sport forever, but about a multisport map for first steps.

Sport Profile

One program helps reveal a child's sport profile: strengths, motivation, group behavior, and 2–3 sport categories worth trying first.

What families see

Not a test, but a clear route

The diagnostic is built as short steps: the child chooses pictures, the parent sees a day-by-day schedule, and the family receives a report with directions to try.

1

Picture-based tasks

No long text: the child chooses what feels closer to their movement, interests, and behavior.

2

Day-by-day schedule

For younger children: one method per day. For older children: a 3-day or 2-day mode.

3

A report for decisions

2–3 directions to try, a child profile, and recommendations on what to observe in the first weeks.

Result example

The report helps plan first trials, not choose one sport

The family receives a clear map: which 2–3 sport directions are worth trying, why they fit, and what to notice during the first sessions.

Multisport approach

We do not reduce the choice to one sport

At ages 6–11, a child's interests and abilities are still developing. That is why AthLEOS offers not a single "right program," but several directions for trials and observation.

1

Try several formats

Team, coordination, or cyclic sports may reveal different sides of the child.

2

Watch the child's response

What matters is not only profile fit, but how the child feels after 2–4 weeks of training.

3

Refine the route over time

A repeat diagnostic helps see which interests became stable and which were temporary trials.

After the diagnostic

The family gets not just a report, but the next step

AthLEOS helps turn the result into a clear first-trial plan: what to discuss with the child, what to show a coach, and when to return for a repeat check.

1

Discuss the result

The parent sees 2–3 sport categories to try, the child's strengths, and an explanation without a numeric label.

2

Plan first trials

The report helps choose 2–3 calm first directions instead of changing programs blindly.

3

Return next season

A child's interests and confidence change. A repeat diagnostic in 6–12 months helps refine the route.

Why trust us

A scientifically grounded methodology, not an online quiz

The AthLEOS methodology has been in development for more than 5 years. At its core are seven picture-based diagnostic tools adapted for children aged 6–11. The model is published in an international scientific journal (SportRχiv, 2025) and reviewed by 15 certified coaches in a blind review.

Why this is not a typical online quiz

The AthLEOS model was tested as a diagnostic tool: repeat results, expert coach ratings, and matches for the recommended set of 3 categories were compared.

1

Published model

The model is described in a SportRχiv paper: 39 indicators, 4 components, and picture-based tools for children aged 6–11.

2

Checked with coaches

Recommendations were compared with independent ratings from 15 certified coaches, without prompting from the authors.

3

No false precision

The report does not give a "destiny score": match is shown in words because 85% accuracy is a reliable map, not a guarantee.

Right now

When AthLEOS is especially useful

Research program. AthLEOS is currently working with first families in an at-home online format. Participation is free: the family receives a full report and a personal discussion, while the team validates how the methodology works outside in-person school diagnostics.

A child has tried several programs and quickly lost interest. The diagnostic helps understand whether the issue is the sport, the group format, motivation, or load.

Parent situation · choosing a first or next program

Parents focus on physical ability but overlook temperament, confidence, competition interest, and group behavior.

Family situation · choosing the right training format

A coach or school needs to understand a child faster: how they respond to tasks, groups, rules, and new movements.

Coach situation · initial child orientation
Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the diagnostic take?

There are three modes: 4 days for ages 6–7, and either 3 days or 2 days for ages 8–11. The detailed schedule and calendar download are on the diagnostics page.

How much does the diagnostic cost?

AthLEOS is currently running as a research program. The diagnostic is free for participants: families receive a report and help validate the at-home online format.

What do I do with the result?

The report includes 2–3 sport categories to try, a 4-component profile, and recommendations for the parent and coach.

Does the diagnostic guarantee success in sport?

No. The report is a map of possibilities, not a verdict or a guarantee of success.

Why isn't there a numeric score in the report?

The model's accuracy is 85% — a lot, but not 100%. A numeric score would create an illusion of precision the model doesn't have. That's why we show the match level in words — "high," "good" — rather than a number.

Is this science or marketing?

AthLEOS is an active scientific project, not just a product. The model is published and validated through in-person diagnostics in school settings. Moving it into an at-home online format is a new context of use, which we are validating through the research program together with participating families.
