I can honestly say that participating in Zero Gravity tournaments has been nothing but phenomenal. Running Go Up Strong, a program with over 35 teams and coaching multiple teams myself can make scheduling challenging. They are very organized and accommodating, which helps me out tremendously. Zero Gravity puts on a highly competitive tournament with great people and great energy. Terrifically run with good matchups on the boys and the girls side. Proud to have my teams participating.

Zero Gravity tournaments have consistently delivered quality events year after year. At each event you see a good mix of teams at every level both boys and girls. They work to provide an opportunity for kids to play good quality basketball in a safe and friendly environment. The Delco Goats have been fortunate enough to be able to provide teams in all of their events both local and afar. The directors are accommodating and easy to work with so from a program standpoint you couldn’t ask for anything more.
