2023 Sierra National Qualifier Recruiting Combine (CANCELED)
Championship Combines is focused on creating the opportunity for players to demonstrate their volleyball skills and for college coaches to evaluate recruits in a quick and economical manner. The Combine format leans towards individual/position/group drills, as opposed team play. This allows the college coaches the ability to see multiple repetitions of specific skills, while also reducing the risk of injuries which can often occur in team competition.
March 2nd, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. at the Reno Sparks Convention Center and is open to any current high school age player (FEMALE ONLY), regardless if they are participating in the Sierra National Qualifier or not.
Cost: $120.00 per athlete
The Sierra National Recruiting Combine is a VIDEO Combine with College Coaches invited….
- Because there are a number other National Qualifiers across the country the weekend of March 3rd, we will film the Sierra National Recruiting Combine.
- The Combine film will be sent to every NCAA Division I college program in the USA, and every college volleyball program in CA/OR/WA/NV/AZ, along with the Player Contact Information.
- In addition, College coaches will be invited to attend the Combine from NCAA DI/DII/DII-NAIA-Junior College programs within the Western USA..
- All players and drills will be filmed.
University Athlete is the premier communication tool connecting college coaches and student athletes. We don’t sell athletes to colleges nor promote them in any way so the coaches trust us and use our services. UA combines the convenience of an online database with powerful mobile software to assist coaches’ recruiting efforts at tournaments. At a tournament, colleges can instantly find any player, identify new players, evaluate and take notes without losing valuable time needed to watch the action. More than 300 Div I and more than 500 Div II, III, Juco and NAIA programs use University Athlete.
