The talented teenagers went through a battery of tests as they continue their build-up to the AFL Victoria TAC Cup under-18s season and Victoria Country under-16 championships.
Marks were recorded in the vertical leap, 20m sprint, agility drill, push-ups and beep test.
Two of the greatest challenges were how many push-ups could be completed in a minute, and the beep test.
In his first pre-season as Bendigo Pioneers head coach Brett Henderson said he was impressed by the performances of many players.
Henderson said results would be compared with those from the fitness camp run in early December.
"These tests give us a great indication of who has done the work over the Christmas-New Year break and play a part in finalising our under-18 and under-16 squads," Henderson said.
The Mildura-based players will have their fitness tests on Monday.
The Pioneers will have intra-club matches for the under-18s and under-16s on February 1 at Epsom-Huntly Reserve.
