The Hawaii Volleyball Combine consists of the following format:

​

In 2027, we will be changing the format of the combine.

​​

1. Measurements:  During the first 5 years of our combine, players participated in traditional combine testing in front of the college coaches, such as height, standing reach, block jump, approach jump, pro agility shuttle, 10 & 20 yard dash, medicine ball throw, broad jump, and speed jumping. However, over the years, the college coaches consistently noted that they really did not need to see the testing but only needed the results of the jump metrics; therefore, we now hold the jump measurements offsite at Volley Hawaii, except for the players flying into Honolulu for the combine.

​

2. Court Elements: We utilize 5 courts, which the players will flow through during sessions of drills, controlled scrimmages, and then a tournament. The drills involve high reps of serving, serve-receiving, passing, setting, hitting, and blocking. Setters and Liberos rotate through the courts and middles, and hitters are also rotated through the courts as needed.  Water breaks are taken every 15 minutes. All players get the same amount of reps regardless of ability, school or club affiliation.  As this is a combine, there is no instruction, training or coaching of any kind by any combine court coaches. Court coaches are there only to maintain the flow of the drills and players through the courts in order to maximize the amount of and quality of the reps for players.  The college coaches are present only to observe players and do not instruct or interact with them.  College coaches will be in a coaches-only designated zone separated from parents. Players and parents are not permitted to enter the area designated for college coaches. Players and parents are not permitted to speak to college coaches unless permitted by the applicable rules. Professional trainers from Queen's Sports Medicine are on-site.

​

3.  Unsigned Senior Showcase: The unsigned senior showcase portion of the combine is open to seniors only and/or collegiate players who are either in the transfer portal or simply looking to transfer schools.

​​

4.  Combine Showcase Tournament ("the Hawaii Volleyball Showcase"):  The top 12 club teams from the Power League play on Sunday in two waves at our tournament in front of the college coaches on Courts 1-3.  

​​

5.  Combine Mini-Tournament:  Japan, California, Hilo, Molokai, Maui and Oahu teams compete in a Mini-Tournament in front of the college coaches on Courts 4 & 5.

​​

6.  Player Designations:  All players receive and must wear their unique Hawaii Volleyball Combine Jersey designated by their unique Class Color and unique number by which Coaches can quickly identify players.  College coaches receive player indexes which list the players in four ways; alphabetically, jersey color & number, class year, and session. The indexes also provide player information. Full Player Profiles are also on University Athlete.

​​

7.  Player Sessions:  Each player can attend only one (1) designated combine session. A player may also appear at the Top 28 Showcase and/or the Hawaii Volleyball Showcase tournament if she is selected for the Top 28 and/or her club team is selected as one of the top 12 club teams in Hawaii.
