IMPORTANT INFO
Movement Expectations
Below are movement variations and loads that athletes competing in these respective divisions should be able to perform. In the spirit of competition, athletes may or may not see all the movements and loadings listed in the competition. Athlete’s may also see movements that are not listed in competition, however, these expectations clearly outline the level of fitness and experience expected of the athletes competing in these respective divisions. In ALL competition, athletes find holes in their fitness. We don’t expect any of our athletes to have a complete game.
