VTO Sports hosted their Elite 100 showcase at Helix High School in San Diego, CA, on Sunday January 14. The event had players registered from mainly California and a few other states represented to participate. 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.
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 June 28-30 in Charlotte, NC. Location is to be determined.
Coach Vince Jacobs, National Camp Director:
“We finished our kickoff weekend in San Diego. The weather was perfect, and the athletes were ready to compete. This was a small but talented group of athletes. I really got a chance to talk to the parents and athletes about the current situation for high school athletes due to the portal. The combine part of the event highlighted some real talent. We had a 40-yard dash of 4.56 which is very fast. We also had three athletes push 185 pounds for 15 reps. Overall even with the small numbers it was a solid camp. We ended the day with a Tug of War with the Linemen vs the Marines which was a ton of fun. We look forward to seeing many of the San Diego athletes in Los Angeles next week."
