VTO Sports hosted their VTO Sports Elite 100 showcase at Little Rock (AR) Christian Academy on Saturday April 2nd. The event had 80 players registered from Arkansas and surrounding states participating in the event. Each player got quality teaching and techniques from former college/NFL players. The highlight of the event is the one-on-one competitions where the players can show off their talents.
Catapult Sports, one of the top scouting services nation-wide will be at all the events to help the student-athletes with exposure. One new thing will be the new technological vest that will be available at the events.
VTO Sports recognizes a Top 5 and a MVP in each position. They also select special underclassmen as well. Those players get invites to the All-American Challenge to be held July 9-10 at West Cabarrus High School in Concord, NC.
COACH VINCE JACOBS OBSERVATIONS
"The Little Rock combine had 80 athletes to attend. We saw the fastest 40 of the season of 4.47 by #40 running back Brock McCoy out of Jonesboro (AR) High School. He was very fast and had great hands. Little Rock Christian is one of nicest campus we have seen plus they had indoor practice field. VTO Sports is looking forward to going back."
