Event Class Description

Flagship

Team

These events set the standard for the industry. The top travel ball teams and organizations in the country – elite competition, top-ranked players, and deep evaluation from college and pro scouts. Performances at these events greatly affect team and player rankings, as well as a player’s recruiting profile.

Premier

Team

One rung below Flagship, these are the proving grounds for national contenders. Top programs from across the country, tough brackets and scouts on hand – strong performances here move team and player rankings.

Signature

Team

These are state and regional events where teams hone their skills against emerging competition, start to earn higher rankings, and qualify for the national stage while mostly playing closer to home.

Classic

Team

This is where the PG pathway starts. Local events that give teams a stronger stage to compete and develop without travel, with every player integrating into PG’s scouting platform from day one.

All-Star

Individual

Invitation only events for top individual players in the country, as selected by PG scouts through Showcases and other event formats. Similar to Flagship events, these events provide a big, widely-watched stage with full scouting coverage.
