PLAYER CARD COMBINE

EARN YOUR OFFICIAL UFA PLAYER CARD!

Each Unrivaled Flag Academy event features the Player Card Combine, giving athletes the opportunity to be tested across six key skill stations. These drills are designed to measure core areas of flag football performance and generate verified stats for each athlete’s official UFA Player Card—similar to a pro-style rating system.

The Player Card Combine allows athletes to see how they stack up against players from across the country within their specific age group. Using a scaled rating system based on birth year and gender, each player receives a comprehensive evaluation that highlights strengths and areas for improvement.

This is an optional add-on experience, and all Player Cards are delivered digitally following the completion of the summer events.

What to expect on the Player Card:

  • Head shot of the player
  • Player’s Name
  • Player’s position (Quarterback or SKILL)
  • STATS
    • Overall Rating (OVR)
    • Speed stat (SPD)
    • Acceleration stat (ACC)
    • Strength stat (STR)
    • Agility stat (AGL)
    • Jumping stat (JMP)
  • If a Quarterback
    • Throwing stat (THR)
  • If a Skill Player
    • Catching Stat (CTH)

The Player Card Combine takes place at certain designated times at each Unrivaled Flag Academy event. Combine times will be sent out with the Event Itinerary to all players as we get closer to the event date.

The Player Card Combine is an additional Add-On Opportunity that costs $125 per player.

You can register for the Player Card Combine during the event registration or anytime after - up until the event day or until registration is full.

Players can participate in the Player Card Combine once per Unrivaled Flag Academy event. Their best scores from each event will be recorded from the data to determine the athlete's rating at future events!

Plus, if invited, all players have the opportunity to get their card BOOSTED at the UFA Nationals event at the end of the year at Rocker B Ranch!

Unrivaled Flag Academy is for competitive flag football players who want to be pushed and developed. This is not a recreational camp.

It’s designed for athletes who take the game seriously and want to compete at a high level. Specific age divisions and requirements are listed on each event page.

Drew Brees will attend select events throughout the year, but he will not be at every Academy location. While you shouldn’t expect him at your specific event, he has personally helped design the training curriculum and has incorporated many of his favorite concepts and plays into the program.

Lunch and dinner are not provided. However, the schedule includes designated breaks to allow time for all meals. There will be ample time to leave the complex,  get food, and return if needed. 

Some locations may have food on site via restraints, food trucks, or concessions. 

Athletes are evaluated during the first three training sessions. Based on those evaluations, teams are formed to create the most competitive and balanced gameplay possible on day two. Our goal is for every athlete to be challenged and have a real opportunity to showcase their ability. Teams are finalized after the third session.

Each athlete receives an official Gameday Kit (2 jerseys and shorts), structured training sessions, and competitive 5v5 gameplay.

  • Players can also add verified performance testing through the Player Card Combine.
  • Standout athletes may earn opportunities to compete at Unrivaled Flag Academy Nationals.

Gameday Kits are distributed at check-in on the first day of the event.

Players should bring their own cleats, mouth guards, and any protective gear they prefer to wear.

Final event details, including the full itinerary and game schedule, are emailed by the Monday prior to the event.
