So I have been getting a lot of feedback on the upcoming highschool football combine We’ll be hosting.

My email box is pouring with some questions. Instead of answering them all individually I am posting them all up here.

Be sure to check back as I will be updating this page every day with more questions regarding the combine.

Here we go in Q & A format;

Q: Will there be any College Coaches at the Combine? Will the testing numbers be official?

A: As per NCAA rules and regulations NCAA coaches are not aloud to be present. However we are looking into a recruiting website that will give all athletes participating on opportunity to register to get their own profile, as well as post testing numbers. In addition the website will be made available to all recruiters and colleges coaches throughout the country.

***If this is a priority please send me an email stating so, and I’ll make sure we get this website up and running***

Q: Who can take part in the Combine Testing?

A: Any high school football player who is an incoming freshman, in 9th, 10th or 11th grade. Each athlete has to register prior to the day of the Combine. Be aware that each Combine has a maximum number of spaces available. These will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Q: What registration or sign-up needs to be completed?

A: Registering as early as possible guarantee a spot at the Combine and will minimize the amount of paperwork you have to complete the day of the Combine. Simply call 845.268.3494 and ask to register for the combine.

Q: Can parents come and watch? Are there stands?

A: Parents are encouraged to attend although spectator space is very limited. All we ask is that you remain far enough away from the athletes that you do not interfere with the testing.

Q: What is the process the kids go through at the event?

A: The day will go as follows;

Check In (register if walkups are taken)
Introduction and group placement

Dynamic Warmup by Optimal Performance Training staff

Testing Stations

Closing ceremony – awards to be presented to best athletes in each category, plus best overall team (if teams participate) will be awarded with the 1st “Optimal Combine Cup”

Q: What is the cost for the combine

A: Individual rate $20 per athlete / Group Rate $10 per athlete (minimum of 20)

There are the top questions I’m seeing. As more come in I’ll post them up on the blog as well as this email
