The Nike Football combines have a limited number of spots open for each city, based on capacity. We encourage athletes to register as soon as possible—most of our events fill out quickly, as they are the only combines in the country to offer SPARQ ratings.

There is the possibility of no-shows on the day of the event. In that case, open spots are assigned at the event place on a first come, first served basis. Please keep in mind there are no guarantees for walk-ups — and only athletes that pre-registered will have a secured spot for the event.

We would recommend for you to still get your SPARQ rating. Your SPARQ rating will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses so you can become a better Football player.

If you tried to register for a combine, and that combine is full, we suggest the following options to get your SPARQ rating:

• Self-rate: We offer an online tool and instructions to get your unofficial SPARQ rating. This SPARQ rating will allow you to see where you are, and rate and compare yourself against other athletes across the US.

• Trainers: Do you still want to get an official SPARQ rating, but cannot travel to a combine? Consider visiting one of our authorized trainers. For more information, click here http://www.nike.com/nikeos/p/usnikefootball/en_US/sparq/trainers
• Other combines: You may also try to register for a combine in a different city. View the upcoming schedule at http://www.nikefootballcombineregistration.com/
