Virtual Combine Camps

Virtual Combine Camps are testing athletes aged 12-18 in a standardized skills assessment that evaluates key physical, technical, and mental attributes relevant to softball. Using digital platforms and sports tech (like Rapsodo, Blast Motion, or Pocket Radar), this testing allows athletes to complete evaluations, with data uploaded for real-time feedback and analysis. Key metrics typically include:

  1.   Hitting metrics: Bat speed, ball exit speed, launch angle, and contact consistency.

  2.   Pitching metrics (for pitchers): Velocity, spin rate, accuracy, and pitch movement.

  3.   Throwing/Fielding metrics: Reaction time, range, transfer speed, and arm strength.

  4.   Speed and agility: Sprint times (e.g., 20-yard dash), agility tests, and reaction times.

  5.   Strength and conditioning: Vertical jump, and endurance.

 

Value for Athletes in Future Skill Development

 

1.  Objective Data for Improvement: By identifying strengths and areas for growth, athletes receive targeted insights to guide their training. Knowing specifics like bat speed or sprint times allows them to tailor workouts for improvement.

2.  Trackable Progress: Repeated testing over time provides a measurable way to track progress. Seeing improvements can build confidence and reinforce a growth mindset.

3.  Recruitment Tool: Many college coaches and recruiters rely on verified metrics to assess potential recruits. Virtual Combine scores can serve as a valuable addition to recruiting profiles, helping athletes stand out.

4.  Informed Goal Setting: Specific, quantifiable data allows athletes to set realistic, measurable goals for development, like increasing bat speed by 5 mph within a season or improving fielding range.

5.  Immediate Feedback for Technique Adjustment: Tools like Blast Motion offer real-time feedback, helping athletes make adjustments that improve their skills faster.

6.  Self-awareness and Confidence: Understanding their own performance data builds self-awareness, a critical aspect of self-directed improvement. This awareness can improve decision-making during games and boost overall confidence.

7. By providing actionable insights through objective, measurable data, Virtual Combine Testing empowers young softball players to elevate their training, focus on areas critical for improvement, and gain an edge in competitive environments like collegiate recruitment.
