HAYS, Kansas (April 5, 2018)—  HaysMed Sports Medicine is hosting their 17th Annual Athletic Testing Combine on Saturday, April 28 from 9:00 am – 11:00 am at The Center for Health Improvement, Hays, Kansas.  Registration fee is $20 per person.  This testing is for male or female, grades 6 through 12.  A makeup combine session will be held on Saturday, May 5 at 3:00 pm at The Center for Health Improvement.  During the 17 years the combine has performed over 5000 tests on area athletes.

Every athlete strives to do his or her best in whatever sport they participate in.  In order to achieve that goal, it is important to know at what level you are performing and how that performance can be improved.  The Athletic Testing Combine is designed to assess athlete’s individual strengths and weaknesses in order to help them reach their highest athletic potential.

Tests performed during this event include: Height, Weight, Seated Shot Put, Pro Agility, Vertical Jump, Standing Long Jump, Bench Press and 10 Yard and 40 yard dashes which are electronically timed.  HaysMed Sports Medicine provides highly qualified staff and professional testing equipment including the use of electronic timing equipment accurate to the 1/100^th of a second.  This ensures accurate and reliable results.

Each athlete in attendance will receive an individual athletic profile.  This includes test results, percentile rankings, and an overall athletic rating allowing athletes to identify specific strengths and weaknesses.  In addition coaches from each school will be provided similar reports.  The results are also sent to Midwest colleges for their review of athletes interested in playing college sports.  Participants also receive a tee shirt.
