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.
