You’re invited to take part in the Melbourne Tigers x Rookie Me Combine Testing Day.

This June, Tigers’ athletes will have the chance to re-test and track their progress (year-on-year) for an exclusive price of $59.99.

Gauge your growth and compare your athletic standards against elite player metrics; including past Tigers’ athlete and current Chicago Bulls guard, Josh Giddey.

We encourage you to embrace this challenge, understand your development areas and manage your growth as an athlete.
