The 2025 Prep Dig Exposure Tour is officially LIVE!

We're hitting 20+ cities across the country this winter to give athletes a platform to compete, get seen, and level up.

I'll personally be directing at Vegas (11/15), SoCal (11/23), NorCal (11/29), Arizona (12/14), and can't wait to welcome some of the region's top talent to the gym. Use Code: BamfordPD25

It's also the perfect month to experience volleyball at the next level. On October 29th, the USC Women's Volleyball team hosts the UCLA Bruins in a rivalry clash packed with the same fire and intensity athletes are chasing in their own seasons. Don't miss the chance to watch, learn, and be inspired as the game plays out on one of its biggest stages.

Thank you for making today's wins matter — one article, one player, one memory at a time.
