We are scheduling combines at venues all across the country. Please check the website for updates on dates and locations. 

Yes, you may attend as many combines as you wish. Purchasing an Ultimate Combine membership will save you a lot of money on attending multiple combines.

Typically combines have between 100-150 participants.

We can’t say for sure. There may very well be college coaches and/or pro scouts in attendance, but we cannot and do not promote that as one of the benefits of the combine.

The program has SIX main objectives:

1. To raise the awareness of the importance of overall athleticism as it relates to performance and level of play.
2. To establish baselines, projections and trajectories for each athlete starting at age 13.
3. To clearly identify strengths and weaknesses within each athlete.
4. To develop an Individual Development Plan (IDP) to help improve athleticism and lower the risk of injury.
5. To create a fun and motivating national competition to identify and recognize the best athletes in the country.
6. To help each athlete determine how they compare to other athletes at their same age group.

We prefer for athletes to attend their first combine with no special preparations. This approach helps create a very accurate baseline. However, after the first combine many athletes will begin working in very specific areas of improvement and should definitely have a goal to attain higher scores at future combines. 

The top 10% performers from each age group receive an automatic invitation to the National Combine. These high level performers will compete for the title of The Ultimate Combine National Champion. 

Once an athlete receives his professional evaluation score he is offered an Individual Development Program (IDP). This is a unique and individualized athletic development program created by a certified professional sports trainer at The Ultimate Combine. The program identifies the strengths and weaknesses of each athlete, creating workouts specifically designed to improve performance in targeted areas. 

Yes, but to answer this question properly we need to provide a little intel first. 

The scouting community can be very cynical, even harsh, about evaluating players. Many times they tend to believe in the old adage, “you are what you are”. That’s their “lingo” when passing on a kid because they don’t like what they see. They tend to have very short, unimaginative attention spans. In fairness to them, their job requires them to see as many kids as possible and they are trained to eliminate prospects very fast. They are very quick to label kids; too slow, not physical enough, arm strength lacking, bat speed not there, not a good athlete, etc. We respect the scouting community and completely understand how they evaluate. In almost all cases, we actually agree with their evaluations, and can even back them up with our data from the combine. But, here’s where things go in a very different direction between the scouting community and The Ultimate Combine. 

We are forming meaningful relationships with our combine participants. Unlike the scouting community who has moved past a player by labeling him a NP (non prospect), we are just getting started. We actually don’t believe “you are what you are”. Instead, we believe “you are what you choose to become”. This is a radically different mindset. We believe that once athletes get a professional evaluation to determine strengths and weaknesses, we can develop an IDP and radically help them improve and/or eliminate weaknesses. For hard working players with big desires, this literally changes the entire trajectory of their career. In fact, we have hundreds and hundreds of real life successful case studies of doing exactly that. To say that The Ultimate Combine can be a gamechanger for a young athlete is a huge understatement. So here is a simple example of how this happens. 

Justin attends his first combine at age 13 and tells us he has a goal to play D1 Baseball. His initial evaluation gives him an overall athleticism score that puts him in the 40th percentile. In other words, based on our national database, 60% of the athletes attending our combines score higher than Justin. Even worse, Justin’s score projects him to peak as an average high school player. But, Justin doesn’t want to hear what he can’t be. He wants to hear what he can be with an IDP from The Ultimate Combine. Remember, we believe you are what you choose to become. Therefore, we identify the areas that are hurting his scores. In Justin’s case they are foot speed, explosiveness and flexibility. Our professional trainers put together Justin’s IDP with a focus on these areas. Justin is a hard worker and with monthly updates from our trainers he is able to stay on track for the next 3 years with a true athletic development plan. In that time Justin has attended 3 more combines and in each case, his numbers have improved, but more importantly, he has changed his percentile groups. He went from the 40th percentile to the top 5% percentile. He went from a NP to a D1 prospect. 

This is an example of how IDP’s change the career path of so many of our athletes. This is the difference between average and exceptional. Remember, it’s the same athlete. The difference is the evaluation, the plan and hard work. 

The minimum age is 12 years old and the maximum age is 17. 

Combines are one day events. Registration typically runs from 8-8:45. Session 1 9-12, Lunch 12-1, Session 2 1-4. 

Typically, results are emailed to individuals within two weeks of the combine. We update the leaderboard after every combine.
