Diamond Nation's Garden State Games since its inception in 2013, quickly became one of the premier showcases in the Northeast. The Garden State Games began as a showcase event which attracts the top 100 underclassmen in New Jersey. In 2017, it grew to include the top 8th graders in the state.  These games have become the largest recruiting event in New Jersey.  The underclass games are selected by high school coaches around the state, while the futures game players are selected from the Garden State trials.
