AUSTIN (February 25, 2022) -- Stealth Sports is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit that creates opportunities for young people to grow and learn athletically and academically through sports events, 7on7, and youth mentoring programs. The group kicks off their Stealth Sports Combine Series of six events scheduled to take place 4 states (TX, NC, IN, PA), starting in March of 2022. Registration is now open – please click here to view the official combine series announcement and schedule.
At the end of each combine, Stealth Sports will be announcing the top athletes at each camp/city geography based on Zybek Sports’ industry-leading combine measurement, the SAT® (Standardized Athlete Test). Results will be posted online for bragging rights to the area’s best performing athletes.
“Student-athletes who show a tendency to perform at a high level deserve access to the same tools that are used to measure amateur and elite professional athletes. Stealth Sports exists to provide experiences that help bring out their best performance and help provide feedback and possibly open doors.” Says Stealth Sports Co-Founder and Executive Director Dr. Ernest Cutler.
“We want to help bring the incredibly trusted combine measurement capabilities and operations of Zybek Sports, coupled with Route Analytics AI-driven platform for student-athletes and college coaches, to athletes around the country. There’s power and validity in athletes getting something tangible from a combine other than just times, and we think this partnership provides real value to young athletes. Yes, they show up and get tested by technology, but they also get a detailed report that helps them really understand how they compare to athletes their age and higher, what they need to do in order to progress, and where opportunities lie for performance optimization. This, coupled with a direct connection via Route Analytics’ platform to collegiate coaches, these athletes have verified data accepted at the highest level of worldwide sports organizations” added Rocky Brown, another Co-Founder and Executive Director.
