Beyond Sports Network Foundation, Inc.
501(c)(3) Private Operating Foundation
We focus on testing athlete’s athletic abilities so that they become more aware and educated about their physical abilities. We then provide a specific grade that identifies what collegiate level the athlete could “athletically” succeed at. Equipped with this exclusive data, athletes can make the necessary training adjustments to define their recruiting path for the future.
THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE COMBINE!
Important NCAA Information
We want to provide important information to students and families about the DI and DII academic standards, and assist them with the initial-eligibility, registration and certification process. Please refer to our redesigned registration website, eligibilitycenter.org, or our educational site, ncaa.org/playcollegesports for even more information.
Our resources for the 2020-21 school year can be found on our School Presentation Resources page and include:
- Website Registration Checklist: This document provides everything that the student-athlete will need to complete the Eligibility Center registration process.
- Initial-Eligibility Brochure (printable version): A quick guide to the academic standards and steps that it takes to become an NCAA Division I or II student-athlete.
- Division I Academic Requirements Guide: A complete breakdown of the NCAA Division I initial-eligibility standards.
- Division II Academic Requirements Guide: A complete breakdown of the NCAA Division II initial-eligibility standards.
- Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete: The Guide is a highly comprehensive tool, that has been designed to help students and families understand the NCAA initial-eligibility process, and to prepare student-athletes for transitioning from high school to becoming an NCAA Division I or II student-athlete.
Testing
Since 2015, BSN Foundation has tested 1,771 total athletes, 1,613 high school athletes and 158 JUCO athletes. These combines were offered in Northern Virginia, Lynchburg (VA), Scranton (PA), Des Moines, (IA) and were funded by the foundation through private donations. In 2020, we plan again to offer these FREE combines.
For the serious athlete, whose hopes are to play football at the collegiate level, the National Scouting Combine will provide these athletes with the same type of professional combine experience that will include our testing, position drills, and proprietary grading algorithm which will identify their athletic level . These regional events will be provided at a cost to participant.
For the younger athlete looking to learn what their current athletic level is, the Foundation will provide our standard combine testing drills through private donations.

State of the Art Equipment
We have partnered with top technology companies to provide you with the best experience and opportunities to showcase your abilities.

TRAZER is also used by numerous FBS Programs such as Alabama, Georgia, Clemson and many more!
Regional Combines
These events will be run similar to the National Scouting Combine we hold for college athletes aspiring to play professional football. These combines will allow high school athletes the opportunity to received an exclusive National Scouting Combine Grade for collegiate recruiting opportunities.
Fund Raising
The Beyond Sports Network Foundation, Inc. provides a unique opportunity to influence, inspire and educate young athletes within the local community. Your financial assistance helps provide free athletic combines and year round educational resources & information for athletes. Providing education to the high school athletes in areas such as Internet, technology & social media safety, nutrition, training & recruiting on a monthly basis is something we are extremely passionate about. We want to help build relationships with the coaches, parents and athletes to educate on how to promote oneself in a positive manner, protect their identity and stay safe online, using social media to create a positive “personal brand”, and how to become successful in sports and throughout life. The more we can interact and build personal relationships, the more we believe we can make a difference within each community.
