BP Athletic Trial Events and Guidlines:
Trials begin March 16th and will go until March 27th! There will be specific times in each gym and in Energy Park designated for the events. We will have a schedule posted soon!

Participants will get a chance to not only test themselves like the pros but engage in some friendly competition! Those who compete in 3 of the 8 events can earn a t-shirt and those who participate in 7 of the 8 can qualify for overall scoring. 

We will have a 65+ year old category as well! Some events have modifications other don't. Either way 65+ year olds will have the opporunity to compete against those in their own age bracket!

Individual events are scored on a 10 point system (10 points for first, 9 for second, 8 for third, etc.).

Check out the events!
