EMERSON, GA - The 2024 Future Games got rolling today for another edition of the top uncommitted event in the country with team workouts. Team California is once again comprised of some of the best uncommitted underclass prospects from the 2026 & 2027 classes in the Golden State.
Action continues tomorrow with game play, but first players were put through a series of scout style workouts and tested on athleticism and mental processing. Partners for the showcase day and the entire event include Vizual Edge, Blast Motion, TrackMan, Swift Performance, and S2 Cognition. All of these partners culminate a full data profile on every aspect of their game for each player to take home.
Games for Team California will begin with them squaring off with Team Nevada on Thursday, followed by a Friday game against Team Arizona, and Team Select on Saturday to close out the event. Stay up to date with all of our coverage on X and Instagram as well as game recaps every night.
