    High school athletes will have an opportunity on Friday, Nov. 28, to get a free assessment to find out how prepared they are for the next season. Velocity Sports Performance will conduct the Combine at its Scottsdale facility, beginning at 1:30 p.m.
    The Combine will include speed tests (30/40 yard sprints), vertical jump measurements, upper body power assessments, and agility tests. The testing will be done indoors on a Mondo track and artificial turf areas with electronic equipment to assure accurate and reproducible results.
    Velocity Sports Performance is the largest athletic performance training organization in Scottsdale and North America. It helps athletes maximize agility, speed, flexibility, and energy systems with an emphasis on injury prevention, recovery/regeneration and nutrition.
    Each participant will be required to have a parental release form filled out at Velocity on the day of the event. Warm-ups will begin at 1:30 and testing will follow immediately afterwards.
    To register for this free event, open to all athletes 10 years or older, call Velocity at 480-503-8212.
