What makes the National Lacrosse Combine events a special experience?
Official Combine Testing
As stats and metrics become a more vital part of the sports world at every level, we have partnered with some of the top professionals in the field to conduct our Combine Tests at the National Combine.
Players get to experience what it is like being evaluated as an athlete, not just a lacrosse player. It is often a shock to student-athletes when they get to the next level, to see the level of off-field training and testing. Our Combine helps to prep the players for this and put them in the competitive environment they will experience in college.
Tests include 40-yd dash, 5-10-5 shuttles, broad jumps, and shot speed.
College Level Practice & Elite Coaching
While games are a great way to be seen and a necessary element to recruiting, they often don't provide quality interaction and coaching between the college coaches and the players. The coaches LOVE to see how a player receives coaching and how they transform throughout a practice session.
Many events offer just games. Some offer a short "training session" or "team practice" which often does not provide as much value as it should. The National Lacrosse Combine is committed to providing the highest quality instruction and on-field experience for both players and college coaches. That is why the day starts with a FULL college level practice between 1.5-2 hours. Coaches get to see how the players work in a practice setting and how they receive and listen to coaching. Players get to see what a true college practice is all about.
Competitive Game Play
Competitive games are the final piece to the all encompassing National Lacrosse Combine! Players get to showcase what they developed during the college level practice setting and go to battle, all while being coached by the Division 1, 2, and 3 coaches. Coaches rotate between teams so that every player gets to experience different coaches throughout the games.
Given the talent level traditionally seen at the National Lacrosse Combine, every game looks like an All-Star game! Games mean something at the Combine. These are not "meaningless" games. Coaches coach to win, players play to win.
Top players get recognized with awards from Nike, Cascade, Maverik, along with special media recognition from the National Lacrosse Combine and our media partners.
Off-Field Development
A special component at the RISE Next Gen Combine is the level of development, not just on the field but in the "classroom" as well. Players AND parents get time with college coaches and recruiting advisors to gain real insight into the recruiting process and are given a roadmap to succeed.
The classroom sessions include a truly interactive Q&A with college coaches who give actionable insight to players and parents. Coaches help guide the session but the real benefit comes from parents and players getting their questions answered by active NCAA coaches live in person.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT THE NATIONAL LACROSSE COMBINE EVENTS
"My son attended your event on Monday. He said it was far and away the best event he’s ever attended. He loved the combine portion of the day and really learned a lot from the great coaching staff you put together. He said the level of competition was top notch and looks forward to attending more Q4 Lacrosse events in the future."

"My son is a Junior and going to his second Combine. He had the best experience the first time he went, being named top player in the region. He got 5 views on his IMLCA account the day his photo was posted to the National Combine Instagram page. He learned so much from the amazing Coaches they had last year and can’t wait to play for the best College Coaches they have this year. The National Lacrosse Combine provides top quality film and photos for the players. My son is going on his first recruiting meeting with a coach who has had his eye on my son since last year when he saw him at the Combine Thank you for providing the best opportunities these players!
