Athlete Movement Screen & Scaling Questionnaire Form

Screen athletes’ movement so coaches can scale safely, capturing mobility, injuries, and modification preferences in one form.

Description

The Athlete Movement Screen and Scaling Questionnaire gives coaches the insight to scale training safely for every member. It asks how overhead movement and squatting to depth feel, whether there are any current injuries or pain, and how an athlete’s mobility is generally, so nothing is missed before they train.

Questions about what a coach should scale or avoid, and whether the athlete is happy to have modifications suggested, put coaching on the front foot. A declaration confirms the answers are accurate, so your coaches can adapt workouts with confidence and keep every athlete moving well.

Smart scaling keeps athletes safe and progressing. Sign up for a free Fun Forms account to customize the questions and embed this screen on your website.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Athlete Movement Screen & Scaling Questionnaire Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What is a movement screen and scaling questionnaire?

A movement screen and scaling questionnaire is an online form that captures how an athlete moves and any limitations they have. It asks about overhead work, squatting, injuries, and mobility, so a coach can scale workouts safely and appropriately for each individual from the start.

Why ask how overhead movement and squatting feel?

Overhead movement and squatting to depth are central to CrossFit and reveal common mobility limits. Asking how they feel flags athletes who may need modifications, so coaches can scale safely rather than pushing someone into positions their body is not yet ready for.

How does this help coaches scale?

By capturing an athlete’s mobility, injuries, and areas to avoid before they train, the form lets coaches plan sensible modifications in advance. Scaling becomes proactive rather than reactive, so athletes are challenged appropriately and kept safe, and coaches are never caught out mid-workout by an issue they did not know about.

Why ask if athletes want modifications suggested?

Asking whether an athlete is happy for a coach to suggest modifications sets expectations and respects their preferences. Most welcome the guidance, and confirming it means coaches can step in confidently to scale a movement, knowing the athlete has already agreed to that kind of support.

Why include a declaration?

A declaration asks the athlete to confirm their answers are accurate and complete. It reinforces that the screen matters, gives your coaches a recorded acknowledgment, and supports safe scaling by ensuring decisions are based on honest, confirmed information about how the athlete actually moves.

Is the movement screen and scaling form free?

Yes, this athlete movement screen and scaling questionnaire is completely free, and you can customize the questions to fit your coaching, embed it on your website, and go live with no coding required. Just create a free Fun Forms account to start screening athletes online.
