Zero Gravity does a tremendous job of setting the stage to allow players to compete in a competitive environment. My program has been attending ZG events since 2010 and every event has been extremely organized, well run, and a great environment to play in. The ZG team are masters at scheduling always accomodating schedule requests and coaches who coach multiple teams.
