The NAB AFL Draft Combine (formerly the Draft Camp) is the ultimate test for young footballers aspiring to be picked in November's NAB AFL Draft, on November 24 in Sydney.
The brand ‘Combine’ refers to the AFL clubs combining their resources to test talent, as well as a search for players who can combine their skills and mental toughness with the athleticism to make the AFL.
It has been part of the talent identification process since 1994, but will assume an even greater profile with its location switch to Etihad Stadium in 2011.
Under the direction of the Australian Institute of Sport, and with athletic testing predominantly conducted on a hardwood sports performance floor, 120 outstanding prospects from across the country will show their potential at the national-level Draft Combine.
A further 130 will be tested in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth in the week following, as AFL clubs fine-tune their selection order for the NAB AFL Draft.
