The national series of regional camps and NFL-style combines attracts the country’s best high school football players and aims to improve athletes’ skills, give them verified stats needed for college recruiting, and increase their exposure to college football coaches.
All combines are free and are open to all current high school football players. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, combines will be broken up into morning and afternoon sessions with a limited attendance of 250 athletes per session.
Registration is required for all participants. Athletes can register for the combine nearest them starting today at www.rivalscampseries.com.
Rivals Combines and Camps will take place across the country starting April 10, 2021 in Dallas. The series will continue through June 2021 with two Rivals 100 Five-Star Challenges, bringing together the best players in the country.

The Rivals Combines are free football combines that will measure high school athletes in five key drills including 40-yard dash, shuttle run, 3-cone drill, vertical jump and broad jump. Players are tested using the same equipment featured at the NFL combine. Top performers in the combine will have an opportunity to earn an invitation to a Rivals Camp.
Players attending Rivals Camps will receive instruction from top former NFL and college players and coaches and test their abilities against top high school athletes from each region.
All camp and combine participants will receive an online profile on Rivals.com, as well as a free recruiting profile on ncsasports.org, where players can connect with the more than 7,600 NCAA, NAIA, and junior college football coaches in NCSA’s national recruiting network. Participating athletes will also have access to NCSA’s extensive database of free recruiting tools and information.
Rivals was the first digital company to recognize the need for in-depth national recruiting coverage. Rivals revolutionized recruiting analysis as the first organization to provide innovative features like national player rankings, online video highlights, a searchable player profile database, official visit lists, coach recruiting tracking, and much more.
