VTO Sports partnered with Iron Peak to host a combine at the Iron Peak Sports Facility in Hillsborough, NJ, on Saturday, April 13. The event had players registered from mainly New Jersey 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:
“The VTO Sports/Iron Peak Combine was a great success. We used the indoor field due to the unexpected weather. I was very impressed with the skill of the middle school athletes. The combine teaching and testing was a major success. We had a 7th grade athlete run a 4.77 laser which is great time. The camp was competitive during the 1-on-1 part led by the wide receiver and defensive back groups. I’m looking forward to seeing many of these athletes at the All-American Challenge in June.”
