Description

The Armory Football Combine is a 1 day event that applies state-of-the-art timing technologies to give NFL Combine type data Back by popular demand, The Armory Combine returns on July 24, 2021! Now open to any high school football player in the country, this is a unique opportunity for athletes to showcase their talents to college coaches ahead of their fall football seasons and the final NLI signing date of August 1st. #BeyondOfficial College football recruiting relies heavily on combine type events to evaluate future talent. Additionally, with the added help and expertise of Tracking Football and Athletics Westchester, participating athletes can be compared to players nationwide and give tangible results to college coaches and schools.  The Armory Football Combine can provide this opportunity. The Armory Foundation The Armory Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving youth by promoting fitness and education through a broad range of educational, athletic and community programs, including: Armory College Prep - The unscreened Armory College Prep High School Program is keeping kids on track by providing college prep and academic counseling services to New York City public high school students. The Armory College Prep Middle School Program offers academic support, computer science education, and high school application guidance to local middle school students. Over the past five years, 100 percent of our high school seniors have been accepted into four-year colleges, while also receiving funding that covers over 70 percent of their total college costs. Many of these students become the first members of their families to receive a college education. CityTrack, Little Feet and Tiny Feet - The Armory Foundation offers no-cost track & field and general exercise programming for students that go to school or live in the Washington Heights, Inwood, and Harlem communities of NYC. CityTrack welcomes students in grades 6 - 8, and Little Feet and Tiny Feet serve students in grades 2 - 5. Please make a donation to The Armory Foundation through our website.

The Event: Event 1: The Mondo Dash. 55m dash that can be run in track spikes on the Mondo track surface (Trials & Finals by position group) with the 40yd dash timed enroute. Each athlete's top speed will be converted to miles per hour so they can be accurately compared to current college football players. Shoes: Track spikes are recommended but not required **This differs from the traditional football combines where athletes run alone. In this setting, they would be both competing to win and competing for time.** Event 2: Standing long jump into the sand pit. Shoes: Regular turf or standard training shoe **This differs from the traditional football combines where the athletes land on turf. Athletes would use the sand pit and spikes which would allow for greater extension of the landing, leading to increased distances.** Event 3: 3k Medicine Ball Throw Shoes: Regular turf or standard training shoe **Measures an athletes power production. The distance traveled will be measured to create a standard event from which athletes of all position groups can be compared** Event 4: Pro Agility (5-10-5) The event will have fully automatic timing (FAT) that will give the athlete the best representation of their true agility. Turf shoes are recommended, NO CLEATS! Shoes: Regular turf or standard training shoe **Same event that takes place at the NFL combine** Position Groups (up to 72 athletes per group): Quarterbacks Running Backs Wide receivers Offensive Linemen Defensive Linemen Linebackers, Tight ends & fullbacks Defensive backs & Safeties Freshmen* (all positions) ***NEW*** Sophomores* (all positions) ***NEW*** *= freshmen and sophomores are welcome to compete in the other position groups if they prefer. The freshmen or sophomore only groups are for those wanting to see how they stack up against their age division solely. Cost: $120 per athlete. Each athlete is limited to compete within one position group. If a player plays multiple positions they will need to decide which group they would like to compete with. Receivables: Each athlete will receive a bib # that will indicate who they are and will be given a combine t-shirt that must be worn during the duration of the event. The bib number must be pinned to the front of the shirt so that it can clearly be visible throughout the event. Timing and Results: All timing and results will be done by The Armory’s internal timing crew and will be put up on results.armorytrack.com in real time in the same manner as typical Armory track & field meets. Additionally, Tracking Football will be uploading the results into their databases and analyzing each participant against those in their same position throughout the country. Please see www.trackingfootball.com for more information about their services. Masks: Masks shall be worn by all attending the event and worn by the athletes when not in competition.
