NIKE COMBINE COMING JUNE 8th to Hillsboro Stadium

You are invited!
NIKE Combine
Portland, Oregon

Dear Athletes:

Congratulations! You are invited to a premier high school football event, the NIKE Combine in Oregon produced by Student Sports. Student Sports has introduced Clinton Portis, Phillip Buchanan and Andre Johnson, to name a few, to the national recruiting scene after Student Sports saw them at the NIKE Football Training Camps. These combines will give you an opportunity to showcase your skills for possible selection for the NIKE Football Training Camps held later in the spring.

WHAT: The NIKE Combine at Hillsboro Stadium is an exclusive event and an opportunity to get SPARQ tested in a professional setting. These combines are FREE of charge.

WHO CAN COME: Top rising seniors to be (Class of 2008) and all underclassmen looking to showcase their skills for possible selection for the NIKE Football Training Camps held later in the spring.

WHEN AND WHERE: Friday, June 8th, 2007 at Hillsboro Stadium in Hillsboro Oregon.

WHAT TO BRING: Bring appropriate workout gear: Shorts, sweats, football cleats and training shoes. You will receive a NIKE Pro participant’s shirt.

COMBINE FORMAT: After a proper, supervised “dynamic warm-up”, you will be tested in the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, the bench press (max reps of 185 pounds) and the 20-yard shuttle. With these testing results you will be able to calculate your SPARQ Rating at www.sparqtraining.com to see where you stand with the best in the country.

WHAT IS A SPARQ RATING?: SPARQ stands for Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction and Quickness, the essential tools for superior athletic performance. SPARQ Training is the dynamic training method used at the NIKE Football Training Camps. The SPARQ Rating is a number that identifies overall athletic ability and is used by top coaches and trainers around the nation as an initial indicator of an athlete’s potential on the field.

BENEFITS: This is a great opportunity for your athletes to take advantage of NIKE’s commitment to football, which will give them the opportunity to get tested professionally so that they will have a standard base to improve upon. Additionally, the NCAA recently passed legislation saying that combine testing can no longer take place on Division I campuses. That means there will be NO testing at the NIKE Football Training Camps this year. If your athletes want to get tested, receive a SPARQ Rating and get their numbers in front of the college coaches – which we will do, you MUST attend a NIKE Combine and compete. NCAA Football coaches rely on our certified SPARQ Timing and Testing and the NIKE Combines are the only place you can get those.

There is also an opportunity for great recruiting exposure and coverage. Student Sports, home of the NIKE Football Training Camps and part of the Rivals.com Network, will be at the combines covering the event as well as taking photos and video. In addition the results will be distributed to major college football programs all over the country. Also, a good performance can mean a spot at the NIKE Football Training Camps, which kickoff in April.

We look forward to seeing you at the Oregon NIKE Combine. For a complete list of locations and directions, please visit www.studentsportsfootball.com and click on NIKE Combines.
