The VTO Sports All-American Challenge featured athletes from 20 states across the nation in a two-day event that featured lots of competition and fun. The first day of the event featured combine testing, positional drills, and 1-v-1 competition. The second day of the event featured a 7v7 tournament and a linemen challenge. Over 250 athletes competed in both hot weather on Saturday and rainy weather on Sunday.
The 2022 version of the VTO All-American Challenge was the best one yet from a talent-standpoint and co-founder Vince Jacobs agreed.
"This was our 5th All-American Challenge and I must say it was our best one yet," Jacobs said. " The talent level was incredible and the competition was outstanding. We had more than 20 states represented. I would like to say thank you to all parents, guardians and coaches for supporting VTO Sports. This was a great way to end the 2022 season."
