Weekend in Review – Grind Session Florida (Nov. 14–16, 2025 | Boca Raton, FL)

The Grind Session’s first domestic showcase of the 2025–26 season brought three days of high-level matchups, breakout performances, and statement wins to Boca Raton, Florida. With elite men’s and women’s programs on the floor—several with complete rosters for the first time—this weekend had the feel of an early-season proving ground.
