Q: What are SPARQ Mini Camps?
SPARQ Mini Camps are a two hour dynamic training workout in which a local lead SPARQ trainer will instruct how to improve your athleticism by incorporating SPARQ Training.
Q: What are Nike Football Training Camps?
NFTC’s are invite-only specialty camps run by Nike and ESPN Rise. To be invited to an NFTC, it’s more than just a good SPARQ Rating. You should have a certified rating, should have a highlight reel in your Locker Room, and a letter of recommendation from your coach.
Q: How are the SPARQ Mini Camps different from the Nike Combines?
At the Nike Combines you will test in the four categories that make up the Football 2.0 SPARQ rating. The 40 Yard Dash (two tries, we'll take your best ones), the Agility Shuttle (two tries, we'll take your best one), the Kneeling Power Ball Toss (two tries and a warm up and we'll take the best of the two) and the Vertical Jump (jump until you decrease).
Then you'll receive an official SPARQ Rating which will go out to every college coach in country.
At the SPARQ Mini Camp there will be no testing involved, just hard dynamic training to get you ready for the off season workouts.

All Nike Combines and SPARQ Mini Camps are free of charge.
