(New York, N.Y.) – Asphalt Green Flag Football Club announced it will host its second free Combine on February 8, 2025, at Asphalt Green’s Upper East Side campus. Coinciding with Super Bowl Weekend, the event follows the AG Flag’s first all-city combine in December, which hosted New Yorkers of all ages and formally introduced the club to the public.   

The Combine will feature classic drills, including the 40-yard dash, shuttle runs, vertical and broad jumps, and more, offering athletes of all ages and skill levels the opportunity to test their athletic abilities and get in the spirit for the big game the following day.   

The event will also serve as a scouting opportunity for AG Flag’s Club and Elite women’s teams. Talented athletes who show promise at the combine may be invited to join the club and compete locally and nationally. Selected participants for the Elite Women’s Team will receive specialized training to prepare for high-level competition and tryouts for Team USA’s Flag Football roster ahead of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.  

“We’re thrilled to welcome athletes from all sports and backgrounds back to Asphalt Green on Super Bowl Weekend,” said Scott Lancaster, Head Coach and Director of Olympic Player Development at Asphalt Green. The Combine will support Asphalt Green’s mission to build community through sports and continue introducing our Flag Football Club to the public as we seek talented athletes to join our program.”
