Select Fest ID (SFID) Camps are the newest segment of the Perfect Game Individual Player Development Initiative. They are one-day events that are intended to provide elite metrics for every player who wants to track their personal growth and compare it to their peers, and are open to any player regardless of the classification (i.e.; AA, AAA, Major) of the team they play with.
SFID Camps will also utilize National Leaderboards, which will allow each participant to see how they measure up throughout their Perfect Game journey. If your player wants to find out where they stand nationally amongst their peers and/or learn how to use analytical data to improve their game, then a Select Fest ID Camp is for you!
