This tournament will feature six different brackets. They include 14u boys; 14u girls; 16u boys; 16u girls; 18u boys; and 18u girls. All divisions are based on age as of the start of the tournament.

The combine will be held on Monday, May 31. The event will include certification in the following areas: body measurements, power, speed, agility, reaction, and strength, as well as stability and balance for all athletes in attendance.

Results will be recorded so athletes and coaches can track physical development and athletic performance.
