Good morning ACA family,
Just a quick reminder that ACA will be on Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon this weekend.
This Saturday will be our 2nd Annual Combine, an exciting testing event designed to measure athletic performance and showcase each athlete’s hard work and progress.
This year’s Combine will be hosted as a standalone event outside of the 8-week ACA training program. We’re excited to once again partner with Garage Strength, a nationally recognized training organization with years of experience preparing Division I athletes for official combine testing. Their expertise helps ensure every participant experiences a high-quality, professionally run event.
All athletes will receive verified testing results, and performances will be officially added to our Gridiron Elite 5-Star Database, giving each athlete exposure and a trusted record of their athletic metrics.
Combine Testing Events�Athletes will be evaluated in the following standard drills:
• 40-Yard Dash — Test your top-end speed and acceleration
• Vertical Jump — Measure your lower-body explosiveness
• Broad Jump — Assess your horizontal power and balance
• Pro Shuttle (5-10-5) — Evaluate agility and change of direction
• L-Drill (3-Cone Drill) — Showcase quickness and body control

Registration Information
If you are already part of the ACA 2026 season, there is no need to sign up separately. All athletes enrolled in the standard ACA program are automatically entered into the Combine. Please just go into TeamSnap and let us know if you are coming, because it makes the combine run much smoother. If you are not apart of the ACA season and would like to sign up for the combine, go to our website and register asap!
Sunday Reminder
Sunday will be our last ACA training session at Malvern Prep. We’ll be practicing with our 7v7 teams to get ready for the final day, which will be our tournament on 4/26, where we will crown a first-ever ACA Champion.
Please make sure the boys try their best to attend. It would be great to have everyone there so we have enough athletes to compete.
We’re looking forward to a great weekend!
ACA Staff
