Football BC’s aim is to provide all football players all football players across the province an opportunity to play for our province and be exposed to the greater football world across Canada and the United States. ALL PLAYERS currently involved in football should attend one of the Combine Series sessions. It will not only allow you to have an opportunity to see how your abilities stack up against other players in the province, but you will make yourself eligible to be involved in Football BC’s provincial programs in 2014. That means an opportunity to potentially represent B.C. whether that’s as a member of Team BC (Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8, U15, U16 or U18) or taking part in the Senior Bowl camp for graduating Grade 12 players. COACHES at all levels should encourage their players to sign up for a Combine Series session. This is not only a tremendous opportunity to get an opportunity to work with top-level coaches during the off-season but also helps keep football on their minds year-round. Having a player from your program selected to represent Team BC also brings tremendous recognition to your program and the only way to be selected to play on Team BC is to first go through one of these Combine sessions. |
| THE COMBINE SERIES PROCESS EXPLAINED
The Combine is an opportunity for players to display their talents while being evaluated by experienced and trained coaches. Players participating in the Combines are expected to show up on time and in top shape. No equipment is required, but players should dress in comfortable clothing and bring proper footwear (all Combines are on turf fields except for the Richmond Combine which takes place on a special sport court similar to a gym floor). Mouth guards are recommended.
COMBINE ACTIVITIES Dynamic Warm-Up: Coaches will watch the players warm-up carefully as there are many indicators within the warm-up that help in a coach’s evaluation. Coaches will assist the ease in which athletes perform stretches and light movements that indicate balance, coordination and flexibility. Coaches will also determine early indicators of speed, change of direction and strength. |
