QUAD CITY RAIDERS HOST FIRST ANNUAL COMBINE

Rock Island, IL – October 23, 2011: The Quad City Raiders will host their first ever football combine from 3:00pm to 6:00pm on October 27th at the Rivers Edge sports complex in Davenport. This event is designed to mirror the NFL Scouting Combine that measures potential NFL players with six basic but critical workouts. Along with the professional staff from QC Barbell, the Raiders will measure athletes in the following workouts: 40 yard dash, 225 pound bench press, vertical jump, broad jump, 3 cone drill, and the shuttle run. Each of these workouts is specifically designed to measure strength, endurance, movement, speed and acceleration. For those that are looking to improve their combine results we will have staff from QC Barbell to discuss strength training, Apex Elite Fitness to discuss speed and cardiovascular training, and representatives from Take Shape For Life to discuss a weight loss solution.


Immediately following the combine, the Quad City Raiders will evaluate the athletes that are interested in joining the roster for the 2013 season. This will be an informal position review with new and returning players to see where they are with overall knowledge of their position as well as how they perform in a group setting.


The cost for new athletes is $45 at the event and $35 with preregistration at http://combine.qcraiders.com and $20.00 for returning players. Interested athletes can get more information at http://www.qcraiders.com or on our Facebook page.


The Quad City Raiders are a second year minor league football team that completed their first season by reaching the second round of the Midwest Football Alliance playoffs. Comprised of local players and coaches, the Raiders are member of the QCA community and participate in a schedule of events throughout the year.
