RIVALS ANNOUNCES 2022 RIVALS CAMP SERIES

CHICAGO, Jan. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Rivals, with support from the world's largest and most successful college athletic recruiting network Next College Student Athlete (NCSA) and premier youth sports experiences business RCX Sports, today announced the 2022 Rivals Camp Series, featuring the Rivals Combines.

The national series of regional camps and NFL-style combines attracts the country's best high school football players and aims to improve athletes' skills, give them verified stats needed for college recruiting, and increase their exposure to college football coaches.

All combines are free and open to all current high school football players, however registration is required. Athletes can register for the combine nearest them starting today at www.rivalscampseries.com.

The Rivals Combines will evaluate high school athletes in five key drills including 40-yard dash, shuttle run, 3-cone drill, vertical jump and broad jump. Players are tested using the same equipment featured at the NFL combine.

Rivals' Official Sponsor of Testing Results is VKTRY, the world's first carbon fiber insoles scientifically proven to improve athletic performance and increase injury protection. VKs are currently worn by athletes on all 32 NFL teams including former Rivals Camp stars Jonathan Taylor and Nick Chubb.  

For the first time, each Rivals Combine will feature the Wilson QBX Camp, where QB's will have the opportunity to receive elite QB training and go through a variety of drills using Wilson X Connected QB tracking technology. 

QB's will throw footballs with Wilson X sensors inside the ball that track all throw measurables such as release time, velocity, spin rate, and spiral efficiency. The Wilson QBX Camp is built upon the foundation of technology and the new heights QB's can take their game to with it. 

Wilson Sporting Goods is the Official Football sponsor of the Rivals Camp Series. Throw statistics will be included in recruiting data by NCSA. Learn more about this proprietary technology by visiting Wilson Sporting Goods.

As an add-on to the Rivals Combine, the Wilson QBX Camp is available to participants for a $30 camp fee. Athletes can register here.

Top performers at the Rivals Combines and Wilson QBX Camps will have an opportunity to earn an invitation to a Rivals Camp. Players attending Rivals Camps will receive instruction from top former NFL and college players and coaches and test their abilities against top high school athletes from each region. 

The Rivals Camp Series will take place across the country starting February 26, 2022 in Los Angeles. The series will conclude in June 2022 with the  Rivals Underclassmen Showcase, bringing together the best underclassmen players in the country.

All camps and combines have been confirmed for the following dates:
