The Sharp Performance Combine Series continues to provide exposure opportunities for hundreds of Kansas high school football players each spring and summer. The Free Combines and Top Prospect Showcases saw some of the top players from across the state post top marks and earn college offers on the spot. Coaches and media members agree, the SP Combine Series showcases more top talent than any other Kansas testing or showcase events.

The Sharp Performance Combine Series continues to grow and expand college exposure opportunities for high school football players, and now it’s doing so in multiple states. For the first time ever SP hosted a pair of Top Prospect Showcases in Kansas, the first in late May at the usual location in Salina, and the second in mid-July at Mill Valley High School in Shawnee.

Sharp also partnered with Rack Coach to bring free testing combines to Wichita and Kansas City, in addition to the annual free athletic testing combine in Salina. And SP pushed beyond state lines this summer, taking their popular showcase and testing events, as well as camps for athletes of all ages, to Oklahoma.

Thousands of athletes, from youth to high school varsity players, received training and instruction at SP events this summer. Coaches included current college players (like Cooper Beebe, Jared Casey, Devin Neal and Avery Johnson) and professional coaches with experience at all levels – high school, college, and in various professional leagues.

For SP CEO Jake Sharp, the experience was beyond gratifying.

“We are passionate about teaching kids how to play the game of football properly, how to train properly, and how to eat and recover properly to achieve their maximum potential, and we are thrilled to take that beyond Kansas to grow opportunities for kids across the Midwest,” Sharp said. “The intersection of instruction from current college players and current or former professional coaches creates a fantastic environment for kids of all ages. This has been the busiest summer SP has ever had, but it’s but one of the most satisfying for me, professionally and personally, in my more than 20 years involved with organized athletics.”
