The INPLAYS COLLEGE COMBINES help high school aged players get recruited to college programs throughout the year. Our combines allow players to play in front of college coaches and since all combines are video recorded, college coaches can view a players performance across the globe. With the advancement of technology, college coaches do not travel as much as they did in the past, this said, a high school student athlete that aspires to play college sports and attain an athletic scholarship MUST have a highlight video.
What makes the InPlays College Combines different from most other showcase tournament and combines is that all players in the College Combine sign up individually. This insures the coach that every player at the combine wants to play in college and is considered potentially “recruitable”. You are also not relying on the entire team to be available in order to participate. With using a smaller venue, attending college coaches can watch every player and will not miss anyone. If you go to a large tournament showcase there is always a possibility that a coach may miss a game because he/she is at another location watching another player. With our combines, the coaches never have to leave to watch another game.
Most importantly, our college combines are video taped which means every college coach can view a player.
Once a player is entered into the College Combine, the player should then contact coaches of potential schools they are interested in and pre-arrange with the coaches to be seen at our events. The first thing coaches do at our events is circle the names of all the players who contacted them in the “player resume book” we provide for College Coaches Only. The Coaches will watch those players who are interested in their school first and then watch everyone else. We also work hard on creating a list of coaches who will be at the event and we will continuously update that list as it gets closer to the combine date. Contacting coaches is a very important part of the process. Players want to know that coaches will be in attendance and coaches want to know that there are potential players in attendance who are interested in their program.
Every college coach gets a player resume book with all the information, required online, for every player in the combine. The players jersey number, that is assigned by us, is the page number in the resume book so the coach can easily find the players information.
