We don't underestimate your age and fitness, neither should you
TEENS - NEXT GEN ATHLETES
We encourage Teens to train, grow and discover their talent in a safe and fun environment. Correct movement standards always come first, so every athlete can compete safely, even under the pressure of competition. What we expect from athletes depends on your age group.
Age Group 12 and under
Age Group 13 - 14
Age group 15 - 16
Age groups 17 -18 and 19 - 20
Your first competition, with scaled options. Just starting out in functional fitness? You're more than welcome! We don't expect athletes this age to master every movement yet. Of course it's great if you can, but the workouts include scaled options so every newcomer can enjoy their first competition experience.
Building skills, step by step. Athletes in this age group are developing their skills. We expect a good base in the basic movements, with scaled options available for the more technical ones. The perfect stage to learn, grow and get a taste of real competition.
A solid base, ready to compete. From this age, athletes should have a solid command of the movements and some experience in functional fitness or competitions. The workouts are challenging, but achievable for athletes with a good base level of fitness.
This is competition at full throttle. Athletes in this age group have mastered the movements, are used to competing and are ready to push each other to the limit. The workouts are programmed at full standard. Expect heavy barbells, high-skill gymnastics and a fast pace from start to finish. No holding back, just bring your best!
