What is a Recruiting Combine?

A Recruiting Combine is a day which has a combination of physical testing and volleyball skill testing.   

Who is eligible to attend?

Any 10th, 11th, or 12th grade volleyball player from any High School or Junior Club may attend. You do not need to be a member of Articatz VBC. This combine is open to ALL players regardless of club or high school affiliation.

This is a perfect opportunity for those players who would normally have limited exposure to college coaches because of their out of state location, or because they are playing in a club that doesn't travel to any of the major junior events (Qualifiers).

It is also a perfect opportunity for club players who want additional exposure to college coaches. You will be on the court at the combine, and not sitting on the bench.

What colleges will be there to watch me?

We hope to have anywhere from 40-100 college coaches to attend this event.  Division II, Division III, NAIA, all levels are invited to attend. We hope to have a list of coaches whom will be attending.  Please be aware that many coaches won't register until just a few days before the event.

What happens at the combine?

When they arrive players will register and be given a shirt. They will then go through a series of physical tests and skills tests in the morning.

A rough time table for the day, Saturday December 6th, is:                                      

8:00 am Registration
9:00 am Physical Testing
11:30 am Individual Skills
12:00pm Done

What is the cost to attend the Recruiting Combine?

The cost for a player to attend the combine is $75
