SPARQ Combine on April 15th

Last Sunday we were in Columbus, Ohio as part of a SPARQ Football combine. The combine was held at Capital University. We were very impressed with their facilities, especially considering they are a Division III school. The combine was well organized and attended. The athletes were broken into groups of 30-40. They were first led through the dynamic warm up, and then brought over to run the 40 yard dash, using the SPARQ cones. The athletes were given two tries with their best time recorded as their official time. Next up was the 5-10-5 pro shuttle, again they were given two tries with their best time as their official time. The athletes then performed the vertical jump, using force pads for measurement. The final component of the combine was the bench press. The athletes had to complete as many reps as they could with 185 lbs. Overall, we were impressed with how well the combine was run and how smoothly and quickly SPARQ was able to test almost 500 high school athletes.
