BCC: Football Combine and Standardized Athletic Testing Day

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Community College (BCC), together with St. John's Lodge #10 of Pittsfield, invites area school athletes to participate in the second annual Berkshire County Football Combine & Athletic Testing Day on Saturday, June 8 from 9 am-3 pm. 

 

The free event will be held at BCC's Gene Dellea Turf Field, located at 1350 West Street. 

 

High school and college students are welcome to participate, as are younger students in grades 6 and up. To register, visit www.berkshirecc.edu/athletic-testing. 

 

Preregistration begins at 9 am, followed by combine and strength testing at 10 am and drills on the field at 12 pm. 

 

Marcus Coleman, an alum of the Syracuse University football team, will be the guest speaker at the event.  

 

Football combines provide athletes with the verified stats and measurements coaches review in a recruiting profile. The NFL-style drills are designed to test a player's speed, power, strength, and agility. Athletes will have the opportunity to participate in a series of events including a 40-yard dash, 5-10-5 shuffle, three-cone drill, broad jump, vertical jump, strength testing and more.  

 

Designed to give young football players a professional testing and competition experience, the event will incorporate laser timing equipment, which is the same equipment used by the NFL combine. College coaches will be invited to the event, and combine results can be shared with college coaches across the country. A scoring sheet will be emailed after the event with participants' times and measurements.
