Run a SmartSpeed Combine

Combines assess an athlete’s performance skills and attributes through a series of drills created to test various skillsets such as acceleration, jump height, application of force, and a change of direction.

To use SmartSpeed Combines, you will need to have the SmartSpeed timing gate system, the SmartSpeed app and access to SmartSpeed Online

Note: The Combine feature must be enabled prior to use. To enable this feature, please contact support@vald.com
