Zero Gravity tournaments are the best part of our season. They do a phenomenal job of hosting competitive tournaments that challenge both our girls’ and boys’ teams. The ZG premier end of year event, the ZG Finals, is a ‘must do’ for any team looking to see how they stack up against top talent on the east coast. If your goal is to be the best, then you must compete against the best – and Zero Gravity is the place to do it!
