Smile 40 yard dash resource for kids?

I'm trying to find a resource for average times for kids running the 40 yard dash. The boy has been going out to the track and doing quite well...just trying to see if there was a website that had some type of average. Anyone know anything?

Re: 40 yard dash resource for kids?

Don't know much other than a sub 4.4 40 will probably earn a college scholarship for football. Of course there are many other factors involved.

You'll probably have a hard time finding average times simply because the 40 yard dash is not an official IAAF event for indoor or outdoor track.

Re: 40 yard dash resource for kids?

try this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/40_yard_dash

a football receiver will do it in 4.4 - 4.6 sec apparently
slowest lineman did it is 6.21

hope this helps!

Re: 40 yard dash resource for kids?

Another question is what is he training for? Track, Football, Baseball, Lacrosse, etc......

Depending on the purpose you will need quickness and agility to go with the speed.

Re: 40 yard dash resource for kids?

he's training for football. He is 10, but seems to like running on the track...hopefully he can try out for track when he's in middle school. His mile time is 7:10 and his 40 yard dash time is 5.8
He's played RB until last year where the coach put him QB. He's going out for RB this year.

I know most of the resources I've seen have focused on HS/College times and such. Thanks for all the input!

Re: 40 yard dash resource for kids?

At that age there isnt really a set standard I dont think,I think they focus more on the 50,which is a school track and field event. Sub 6 is pretty fast for that age I think. Found this site that had some 8-10 year old boy 50 times..

Mind be able to find some others if you dig around,I just did a quick google search of 10 year old 50 yard dash.
