2023 SCHEDULE
***Reminder: Location is Ignit Sports & Fitness, 200 SE 37th Street, Grimes, IA 50111. Main entrance is on the East side of the building (do not try to come in the back entrance or you will be escorted out).
Couple Quick Notes:
We will be posting an image of an approved parking map this week - one of the other tenants in the building has deliveries on Saturday so we need to be respectful. You will be towed if you violate the parking restrictions.
The facility chairs kinda suck - plastic folding chairs. We encourage athletes and spectators alike to bring a comfy folding chair if you prefer that, but we will not allow people to “park chairs” on the immediate perimeter of the competition floor. We want people to be able to watch their friends/family so reserved spots around the floor won’t be allowed.
There will be food available for purchase on site, but it’s primarily classic concession food. You’re welcome to bring in your own food.
No dogs (unless they are legit service dogs).
SCHEDULE
FRIDAY
3:30-5:45pm: EARLY-BIRD CHECK-IN (optional - athletes may check in anytime before they compete Saturday, but fair warning it gets really congested that morning. Also, each athlete must have a signed waiver so you may only check in on behalf of your partner IF you have their signed waiver in-hand - link to print HERE.)
6:00-7:00pm: STANDARDS BRIEFING (optional attendance - we will review movement standards, how workouts layout on the floor, answer questions and allow some time for athletes to test out equipment that won’t be available in warm-up area throughout the weekend - FLOATER WOD (WHICH IS EVENT 5 AND CAN BE COMPLETED ANYTIME THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND) WILL BE ANNOUNCED AT THIS TIME, then posted to the blog immediately following the briefing)
