The Sports Combine, LLC

The Sports Combine, LLC. ("TSC") was formed in order to provide amateur athletes of all ages with a means of determining their overall conditioning and fitness levels in a safe and fun environment.  Through the use of skilled professionals within the community, TSC conducts a series of performance testing and optional functional screenings designed to yield a quantitative measure of an athlete's overall ability.   Each athlete is scored based on their performance results and then given a ranking which can be used to track and measure future performance as well as for comparative analysis with other similarly aged athletes at a regional, state and national level.  All amateur athletes are eligible to participate in TSC.

Combines are offered in two forms.

Major Combines. These apply TSC’s unique integrated approach where, in addition to the above performance tests, each athlete will have the option to undergo a functional screening to determine pre-disposition to injury at a functional level.  The testing utilized will be an Orthopedic screening of the knees and shoulders, a Chiropractic screening of the spine, a Podiatric screening of the feet and ankles.  All functional screenings will be performed by a licensed and insured medical professional including Chiropractors, Orthopaedist and Podiatrists. 

Since an athlete’s character is an integral component of success, all Combines include a Character Screening, which is a detailed questionnaire prepared and reviewed by a licensed sports psychologist or psychiatrist.   The Character Screening is conducted outside of the Combine and on-line by accessing TSC’s website.  Once the Character Screening is completed it is electronically sent to the reviewing provider and the results are delivered from that provider to the participant.  

Minor Combines. These will consist of multiple stations set up to assess the dynamic aspects of the athlete’s performance and athletic capability.  Testing will include:  flexibility, strength, power, speed, agility, athleticism, aerobic function, anaerobic function, balance and body composition.  All testing will be conducted by local community sports practitioners. These include specific performance tests to determine strenght, flexibility, speed, power agility, balance, body composition, anaerobic conditioning and aerobic condition.
