WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND THE COMBINE?
Dates: January 30-31 Phoenix AZ / AZ Battlezone

The Combine is not a clinic, it is a professional setting where players get to test their current skills, work with teachers to improve and go home with the tools to measure improvement.

The Combine is where connections are made - between players from across the country and PROs and Coaches that open up doors of opportunity.

With the help of the Combine, more players have found teams they fit in to play with more consistently and more players have shortened their path from local regional player to a national name, through the Team USA program and personal invitations to team tryouts including Pro.

The drills used at the Combine inspire players to not only practice more consistently, but improve the fundamentals that make players better.

This is YOUR chance to see where you stand, create a clear path of improvement, leave an impression and make what could be a most valuable connection.

Start YOUR journey January 30-31st.

Cost: $399.95 + tax

Includes 2 cases / two days of training / sponsor gift bag / Combine Event jersey

Wish programs like this were offered back when I was younger.

Even regularly playing at SC Village back in the heyday it was impossible to get proper coaching and instruction from players who knew what they were doing.

Best wishes to the kids and divisional grinders looking to improve their game and maybe get a shot at the pro level! If nothing else this will give a chance to realistically evaluate one's current abilities.

Nice job using the dictionary definition of a clinic to argue that the combine isn't a clinic.

Lol. It's a cut and paste from Lori. If you ever go to one, you'll see it is very different from other paintball clinics. They do an amazing job and really are great about putting in the extra effort.

I think she is mostly pointing out that most clinics aren't great about setting benchmarks, teaching you how to continue to improve and helping you measure that improvement long after you leave.

From what I've seen of clinics (very little), it seems like they are honestly less serious than what comes out of the combine. This culminates in an event where teams made up of the combine members play a tournament. That alone is quite different, aside from the sheer amount of pros present.

Seems really cool to me and I would have loved to do something like this as a kid. Part of me wants to sign up now as a 32 year old since I'm actually playing seriously this season.

I'm all signed up and ready to go measure up against these young bloods. I'm 40 years old. I love paintball and the community this promotes. Age ain't nothing but a number I'm gonna do what I think is fun. Some of these "kids" are going pro or are about to be pro...i.e. Austin Beatty, Harrison Stanton, Jake Madden, Kristian Martinez.....If you have an open mind and want to just enjoy the sport....it's honestly great for that too. I hope I see you there.

Go for it! I went to the Boston Combine last year and it was a good mix of ages and skill-levels.

The environment was super chill and supportive, and as someone who came up in the mid-2000s, it was a chance to learn from pros on Dynasty, NYX, and Ironmen that I missed out on during the time because of where I lived.

I came home from Boston with some new drills and a 2007-inspired Dynasty Combine jersey that hit all the nostalgia feels.
