Combine
We've spoken to countless professional general managers,
coaches, agents, and scouts to learn what they need to see
and know before choosing to sign a player. The high-quality
and extensive data produced at iBall will empower all
managers to scout and sign players with confidence,
knowing they are making the right decisions for the best
players for their organizational needs.
Tournament
“ iBall Pro Combine is a test
of skill, athleticism,
character, and a thorough
evaluation a players’ overall
capacity to contribute to a
winning team. “
As professionals, you are paid to do one thing—help your
team win. At iBall Pro Combine, we demand positive player
attitudes and the utmost competitive drive in every game,
drill, and athletic test. This approach helps teams build
chemistry and allows players to demonstrate their individual
skills within the confines of a real team structure. The small
number of players per team guarantees that everyone
receives ample playing time and an equal opportunity to
prove they have what it takes to be leaders and win
championships.

Athletic Tests
Professional Athletic Trainers from the revolutionary team at Maxout
Strenght Studios lead in a number of structured tests for the
evaluation of your speed, jumping ability, and overall athleticism. Test
results are shared and top athletic performers are recognized in postcombine videos & reports.
Situational Drills
It is very important that professional management can evaluate your
ability to perform in situations that are common to their systems.
Situational drills break down the game to focus on your reads and
reactions in common sets. The sessions are controlled and include
numerous variations of the pick and roll--a standard set that is very
common to professional basketball and a staple for European teams.
Interviews & Workouts
As a player who has garnered special interest from scouts in
attendance, you will be asked to conduct interviews and workouts.
Some will be recorded and others will be more private in nature and
geared towards developing personal relationships with agencies and
general management.
