I think its a great experience an great exposure over all I took my son his 9th an 10th grade year. My son was 6' 1" 139 lbs. his freshman year playing corner.Now he is 6'4" 185lb. cornerback an recently signed with a D2 school.That being said going too a sparq combine will motivate him too push too be his best on the field an in the classroom. Plus we got too meet Dylan Moses an Speedy Noil after he completed the event.

Nephew has gone to NUC, Rivals, FBU, and SPARQ. SPARQ was by far his favorite. He went to the one in Arlington last year. He scored 58.41 as an 8th grader. There was an 8th grade RB from Missouri there that scored 88.11!!!

But from my son's recruiting process we went through at the end of the day a kid's film is the single most important thing too scouts!

Very impressive

Where were you planning on going? Did they change the venue for NOLA? It's been a notoriously slow track in the past. Even Speedy had terrible times there.

fter looking at those numbers, I don't think there is anyway my son scores 59.88 next month but that is why we are going.....to see how he stacks up.

Good job. Get that 40 down though, or else he's just a skinny lineman.
Posted on 3/14/15 at 3:55 pm to HeavyCore
Thanks. And yes the 40 needs some work.
eta: leaving Dallas and heading to Austin for rivals combine tomorrow

My grandson scored a 79 as a freshman and got a 60 today as a sophomore and he's faster and stronger than he was last year

A few of our kids are on the way back from the dallas one now. I've always had something going on, but there's a good bit of videos on YouTube on the drills. We had a track/athletic/crossfit guy come in and work with them on the little things to improve scores. The formula should be public, but it's not easily found.

Congrats! That's a good starting point.
