Colts to Host NATS Test for 3rd Consecutive Year
April 10, 2007
“The Indianapolis Colts will once again provide the team facility to assist the Indiana Football Coaches Association (IFCA) in conducting this years Indiana NATS test. Bob Terpening, Colts Executive VP, commented, "The Colts are proud to be involved with IFCA and NATS in this valuable AFCA program.”
The deadline to register for the IFCA NATS Test at the Union Federal Football Center is Wednesday, July 18. High school players from graduating classes 2008-2011 may register online at www.nats.us. No walk-ups are permitted. The NATS Test will be conducted on Saturday, July 21, 2007.
The NATS Test will provide participants with access to college football programs on the NCAA Division I, II, III, JUCO and NAIA level they otherwise would not have had. Nationwide, 431 colleges from 49 states are already using the NATS database for initial player evaluations. The NATS program is unique, in that it’s not just a one day event. It is a year round support system which provides not only athletic, but academic, support for young football players.
AFCA Executive Director Grant Teaff says, “NATS brings together the high school and college coaching communities to better serve high school players who strive to continue their academic and athletic careers at the college level.”
IFCA NATS Test Director Mike Dowell said, "116 colleges from 34 states viewed 100% of the NATS players tested in Indiana last year. I think our Association's NATS program will greatly assist our young kids in finding opportunities to play college football that they otherwise would not have had."
By testing players in speed, strength and agility drills, NATS assists college recruiters with player evaluations, enables players to gauge their true baseline athletic ability and helps both players and parents navigate the recruiting process. Student-athletes participating in NATS also receive valuable interactive tools assuring them of the correct high school course schedule to meet NCAA academic standards (Core Course Calculator).
