OPEN RUN.
Where Real Players Show Up to Compete
The Open Run is a unique opportunity for athletes to apply what they’ve been working on in a real-game environment. These sessions are designed to let players compete, build confidence, and test their skills in front of coaches and cameras. It’s not a tryout, and it’s not a showcase—it’s a proving ground where development meets gameplay.
