The National Scouting Combine is proud to announce the return of DolphinTransportation Specialists as an Official Transportation Partner for the 2026 National Scouting Combine, taking place January 6–9 at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex in Naples, Florida. This marks the second consecutive year of partnership between the two organizations, continuing a shared commitment to enhancing the athlete experience through professional, reliable event logistics.
For the 2026 Combine, Dolphin Transportation Specialists will provide specially discounted airport transportation options for National Scouting Combine athletes traveling to and from Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) on designated travel days. The transportation option offered through this partnership will be a coach-style shuttle bus, designed to give athletes a structured, pre-scheduled travel solution for arrival and departure.
Dolphin Transportation Specialists recently entered a new chapter under the ownership of the Hofmann Family of Companies, bringing expanded operational support and deep transportation expertise to one of Southwest Florida’s most established transportation providers.
“Our goal is always to remove as many logistical obstacles as possible for athletes so they can stay focused on performance,” said Jesse Heninger, Chief Marketing Officer of the National Scouting Combine. “Dolphin Transportation Specialists provides our athletes with a professional, dependable option at a discounted rate, specifically coordinated around Combine travel days. Having them back for a second year — especially under the Hofmann Family of Companies — adds real value to the athlete experience.”
Jimmy Kibble, Founder and CEO of the National Scouting Combine, emphasized the importance of dependable partnerships during high-level evaluation events.
“From the moment athletes arrive in Southwest Florida, everything needs to be organized, professional, and on schedule,” Kibble said. “Transportation plays a major role in that process. Dolphin Transportation Specialists understands the demands of events like the National Scouting Combine, and we’re excited to continue this partnership for 2026.”
Athletes are encouraged to evaluate all travel options when planning their trip to the National Scouting Combine. The Dolphin Transportation Specialists coach shuttle option is designed to offer discounted, pre-arranged transportation for individual athletes or small groups who prefer a scheduled and secure travel solution. Larger groups traveling together may find alternative transportation options more suitable depending on their specific needs.
Discounted transportation rates through Dolphin Transportation Specialists will be available to all National Scouting Combine athletes based on availability, with booking details provided directly to registered participants.
The National Scouting Combine is grateful for Dolphin Transportation Specialists’ continued support and collaboration as the event continues to grow. Their commitment to professionalism, reliability, and athlete-centered service plays an important role in creating a seamless arrival and departure experience. Partnerships like this help ensure the National Scouting Combine maintains the high standards athletes, coaches, and evaluators expect year after year.
