2025-LIVE-EVENT DATES

Originally created as complimentary addition to the legendary GymRat CHALLENGE and an avenue to allow top talent to be viewed by college coaches coming out of the pandemic, GymRat LIVE has become the GREATEST SHOW IN GRASSROOTS BASKETBALL! By INVITATION-ONLY, the GymRat LIVE field includes representatives of NIKE’s EYBL, the Under Armour Association and Adidas’ 3 Stripe Select Basketball Circuit….and a few very fortunate high level independent programs….competing head to head in exclusive cross-sneaker brand CHAMPIONSHIP event. These Alpha v. Alpha match-ups are displayed across the country and around the world in a full broadcast production that provides the brightest spotlights ever to shine on the grassroots basketball landscape. All programs receiving an invitation to compete at GymRat LIVE also become members of the highly exclusive GymRat COLLECTIVE. The GymRat COLLECTIVE is FAR more than a “circuit”….it’s a MOVEMENT that offers real value-added benefits to its member programs. GymRat COLLECTIVE teams have the ability to not only compete against the best talent on the continent at GymRat LIVE and the GymRat CHALLENGE, but also to earn important fundraising dollars for their programs.

GymRat LIVE & the GymRat COLLECTIVE ARE UNLIKE NOTHING ELSE THAT HAS EVER TAKEN PLACE IN THE HISTORY OF GRASSROOTS BASKETBALL.
