The USAA/NFL Salute to Service Boot Camp features an exclusive on-field NFL combine-style challenge for teams to compete in drills and meet with NFL legends Mike Alstott (former fullback with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and Shaun Alexander (former running back with the Seattle Seahawks). The five drills include: 40-Yard Dash, 3-Cone Shuttle, Vertical Jump, Receiving Gauntlet and the Quarterback Arm Challenge. The Boot Camp is open to USAG Bavaria active duty service members only. This event is limited to 20 teams consisting of five players each and must include one female participant. The team with the most points after all drills will be crowned champion.

Event format/drill details:

  1. 40-Yard Dash: This drill is all about speed and channeling adrenaline. Participants will be timed for a 40-yard sprint.
  2. 3-Cone Shuttle: This drill tests an athlete's ability to change directions at a high speed. Participants run around cones in an L-shape for time.
  3. Vertical Jump: From a flat-footed position, participants jump as high as they can and their reach is measured.
  4. Receiving Gauntlet: Every player on the team of five (5) will rotate and play both wide receiver and quarterback for this drill. The wide receiver runs without stopping for 40 yards, while the quarterbacks throw the wide receiver the ball every 10 yards.
  5. Quarterback Arm Challenge: Every player throws the ball for distance; final score is based on the furthest combined yardage thrown by each team.
