How the Combine Works

1. Check in. Each player checks in on arrival and is assigned a number.
2. Rotate through stations. At each station, players are assigned a court and play one game or situational game against each player on that court.
3. Report your scores. Players submit the score of every game. Scores serve as a guideline in the roster selection process.

What Coaches Evaluate

• Skinny Singles: Players compete 1v1 on half the court using doubles-style points. With no partner to rely on, coaches get a true read on each player's level.
• Baseline Play: Offense/defense games focused on drops, drives, transition play, and fourth-ball proficiency.
• Live Games: Full match play where players show their complete game while coaches observe and take notes.
