THE TALENT ID EXPERIENCE

INDIVIDUAL & 1-ON-1

SITUATIONAL 5-VS-5

How well do you perform under pressure? How well do you – as an individual – stand out when you’re not lining up next to your team? These scrimmages will give you the chance to show how you can elevate those around you when the Gold is on the line.

COMBINE TESTING

This is the moment to set your PR – personal record – when it comes to measurement. You’ll be measured and get your results from 3 High Performance Combine Tests. Bring your elite performance with your elite skills to showcase why you deserve a spot in the program.

AWARDS & RECOGNITION

At each Talent ID Camp, athletes from every age division have the opportunity to be selected and recognized with an award for their sportsmanship and overall performance.

FIND OUT WHAT IT TAKES
