Registration for the 2010 Midwest High School Combine Series is now open. Please click here. Every year all across the Midwest literally hundreds of talented high school football players are overlooked by college and university coaches and recruiters. Are the athletes smaller, slower, weaker or less quick then athletes in other parts of the country? The simple answer is, no. The main reason they are not recruited is they have not been marketed and no one knows about them. Often times the athletes are not near a major metropolitan area or they happen to be part of a team with a poor record. The Midwest High School Combine and Stadia Elite Showcase were created to get athletes in under recruited areas the exposure they deserve. University programs trust our numbers. Each and every year 44-51% of our combine participants receive at least a partial scholarship to play college football. Direct Marketing: We don't just test athletes and then blindly mail or email the results to colleges. We have a specific contact person at each university so when we send the results and video they don't just end up on the desk of the general football secretary along with all the other junk mail received that day. The coaches have requested our results and videos and are eager to receive them. Recruiting 101: There are literally thousands and thousands of high school athletes receiving contact from universities. What does each type mean and how does it relate to your recruiting? Are you actually being recruited or are you just another name on a general prospect mailing list? Our experts have years of recruiting experience and have worked with athletes in major universities all over the country. They will educate you on the recruiting process and answers all questions you have during an informative pre-combine presentation. Exposure: Besides just getting your profile, results and video in front of hundreds of college coaches we go one step further. Through exclusive agreements with major national media outlets our athletes have a chance to be featured on leading national recruiting websites. Professional Testing: We do the exact same testing that is performed at the NFL combine each year. Through constant contact and feedback from the college coaches we know exactly what tests they want performed and how they want each test administered. The testing is performed and recorded by professional trainers, instructors and speed/strength coaches at Edge Fitness. Each employee that works our events has extensive experience in testing athletes in a 'combine' setting. Since all the testing is done by an outside service there is no internal influence involved. Accurate results are the rule, not the exception. Every year we spend thousands of dollars on upgrading equipment to assure that we are utilizing the latest and most up to date methods and machines available. Infrared automatic timing systems are used through the testing. Gone are the days of "operator error" caused by hand timing athletes with stopwatches.
