With a national spotlight, unparalleled prize package, unprecedented scouting coverage, and true Championship-style tournament format, reputations are EARNED at the GymRat CHALLENGE, as rising regional and national stars are identified at both the team and individual levels.

As the NCAA shrinks and reviews the potential of eliminating the spring and summer recruiting evaluation periods, it has become IMPERATIVE that teams across the nation attend HIGH QUALITY, WELL ORGANIZED EVENTS in order to provide their players with the greatest opportunity to gain NECESSARY EXPOSURE and COMPETE AT THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE LEVEL. As the LARGEST EVENT OF ITS KIND IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES AND THE THIRD LARGEST EVENT OF ITS KIND ON THE ENTIRE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT, the GymRat CHALLENGE has provided those opportunities for teams from Chicago to Orlando, Houston to Boston, and beyond, and developed an unquestioned reputation as a springboard to national prominence.

With the GymRat CHALLENGE team of scouts on hand at each event to provide talent evaluation of both teams and individuals, those that perform well in this high visibility event receive an unquestioned boost in notoriety, visibility, and exposure heading into the restricted July LIVE period.
