What is a CAT Club and Combine Skill Challenge Event?

This is a FREE skill challenge event. This event is for any athlete who attends our Jump Start, Total Performance or Elite training sessions. If you have not tested or retested your skills in the last 2 months, this is for YOU! Take advantage of this free skill challenge to track your progress!

This CAT Club and Combine Challenge is a motivational scoring, evaluation, testing and training program that ranks and charts progress of athletes in our program. It is divided into two groups, Cat Club (ages 7-12) and Combine (ages 13-18). Both challenges use the same performance tests.

How Does It Work? Athletes receive their score from different Performance Tests. The placement score determines an athlete’s corresponding level. The areas measured are:

1. Sprinting ability is measured with the 10 and 20-yard dash

2. Explosive power is measured with the vertical jump

3. Agility and quickness is determined with the 5/10/5 drill

4. Horizontal power is measured with our 5 hops test

5. Relative upper body strength is measured with chin-ups.

These tests were selected because there is a direct correlation between success on these tests and athletic success in sports such as football, soccer, basketball, baseball, hockey, tennis, track and lacrosse. Watching an athlete move up to a new level is one of the most exciting events not only for the athlete but for our trainers as well.
