SPARQ Testing
We will be using a modified SPARQ Testing. Please note that some of the items listed below may be omitted and additional criteria added.

• Body mass - used with the vertical jump result to calculate a leg power score.
• Lane Agility Drill - measures how fast a player moves laterally around the key (used in the NBA draft too)
• Standing Vertical Jump - a measure of leg explosive power.
• Kneeling Power Ball Throw - performed like a chest pass while kneeling, this test measures upper body power. It is also called the Chest Launch.
• 3/4 Court Sprint - time to sprint over the distance of three quarters of the court is measured in seconds (used in NBA draft too)
• Multi-Stage Hurdle - a test of agility and lower body strength endurance.
• Max Touch - a basketball specific test that measures maximum touch height, which reflects stature and wingspan with the physical abilities of jump mechanics and explosive leg power.

1:00pm - 3:00pm

Saw somebody complaining about horrible ads

So I thought I would help. I will stop in several times per day in case anyone has any questions.
Glad to support your community and hopefully I can help a few get their foot in the door in the world of professional basketball.

 

[HammerDown]

Thanks for the support, Dave.

I think it would be awesome to have the SPARQ testing done...but not going to waste your time

 

[jayviabay]

with this expand to other cities and states or is their already something in place everywhere like this?

 

[DaveWebb]

More info for Jay

Yes, we will be doing more combines in other cities, and we will be adding them here.
Since you are in Los Angeles, there are at least 10 semi-pro teams that pay players if you include the Inland Empire and suburbs.

Las Vegas is your best shot to get seen by multiple leagues and agents like we are doing. They always run during the summer league, and the best is the Global if you can get thru their prescreening. However, since Vegas is packed with agents, some of sub camps and leagues are good.

This year we are concentrating in the Central and Eastern regions. Hopefully we can make it out your way in the summer of 2014.

Hope this helps
