High School Football Combine

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYERS OFFERED THE CHANCE TO COMPETE IN AN NFL-STYLE COMBINE

Every high school football player has the desire to play professionally in the National Football League (NFL) but the fact is very few will have the opportunity to play college football or have the fortune of participating in the NFL Scouting Combine.

The staff at Athletes’ Training Center Sports Performance and Physical Therapy is bringing that opportunity to local high school players. Owner Travis Manners explains, “We know that most players at the high school level would love to play college football, go on to participate in the NFL combine and get drafted. Statistically few, if any, will make it that far. So, we wanted to bring the combine opportunity to those players.” Manners goes on to say, “We really wanted to bring players from all different high schools and classes together to have fun in a no-pressure testing session where they could see how they stack up against their peers.”

All players, regardless of position or school, are encouraged to test their skills in the following areas: 10 yard sprint, vertical jump, 3-cone drill, bench press repetition test, broad jump, and Pro agility. A rating will be assigned based upon test performance, similar to the NFL combines, and all results will be released to their high school football coaching staffs and, if requested, to college coaching staffs. In addition, players will receive training tips and techniques to improve their testing performance and each player will be videotaped using state of the art Dartfish software which will allow an in-depth breakdown of their testing performance.

The combine will be held Saturday, April 10, 2010 and online registration is now open at www.atcomaha.com. Athletes wanting more information or coaches interested in promoting the event to their team can contact Danielle Kleber at 402-932-7111 or info@atcomaha.com.
