Two combines in Douala. 37 athletes. One story.

A combine is a one-day testing event where athletes run timed drills — sprints, agility, vertical jump — so coaches can see real numbers, not just guesses.

Our approach

What we do differently.

Instead of Most measure once

We follow up beyond baseline.

Instead of Most run leagues in capitals

We start in our neighbourhoods.

Instead of Most charge families to play

Ours is free at the point of play.
