Naples, FL – January 31 – The National Scouting Combine is proud to announce its continued partnership with Top Hopper Vertical Jump Systems, the industry leader in accurate jump height measurement. Known for their precision and innovation, Top Hopper systems are used by top organizations such as the NBA and Canadian Football League (CFL) Combines to measure athletes’ performance with unparalleled accuracy.
The 2025 National Scouting Combine, set to take place at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex in Naples, Florida, will feature the Top Hopper TH500 Floor Stand System to measure the athletes’ vertical jumps, providing participants with the same cutting-edge technology used by the best in professional sports. After successfully incorporating Top Hopper systems at past events in Indianapolis, the National Scouting Combine is thrilled to bring this collaboration back to the athletes and coaches attending this year’s event.
“We are committed to giving our athletes the most professional and accurate tools to showcase their abilities, and Top Hopper delivers on every level,” said Jimmy Kibble, CEO and Founder of the Beyond Sports Network Foundation and the National Scouting Combine. “Their vertical jump systems represent the gold standard in measurement, and we are excited to incorporate them into this year’s Combine in Naples.”
Scott Mervis, creator of Top Hopper Vertical Jump Systems, explained why their technology has become the preferred choice for leading sports organizations:
“Studies have shown that athletes jump higher when they have a target to hit, which is why mechanical vertical testers like the Top Hopper have been proven to provide the most accurate, repeatable, and reproducible results. Progressive organizations such as the NBA and CFL have embraced Top Hopper because it has demonstrated superior performance compared to other systems currently in use.”
Now entering its 14th year, the National Scouting Combine has solidified its position as one of the most prominent football scouting events in the nation, alongside the NFL Combine, Senior Bowl, and Shrine Bowl. The event draws top college prospects, free agents, professional coaches, scouts, and officials from across the globe. With its reputation as the Official Combine Partner of Arena Football One (AF1) and the X-League, the Combine provides a vital platform for athletes to showcase their skills and earn opportunities at the next level.
