Age Division Teams

For the first time, FWFSC will have multiple divisions for team entries.  

 

We will include separate team categories to crown the strongest Youth, Junior, Open, and Masters teams in the state.

 

Athletes will be able to compete on multiple team rosters if they want to compete in an older weight class (excluding masters division).  Master’s athletes will be able to compete in the Open team division, but seniors can not bump up to the master’s division.

 

For example, A 16-year-old youth athlete wants to compete for her clubs’ Youth and Junior team.  

 

A 30-year-old athlete senior cannot compete for a Junior team, and cannot compete for a master’s team.
