- Between now and the 17th please add your name to the draw box in the office!
- Names will be drawn at random by the team captains and you will be assigned to a team accordingly.
- Each Week teams will earn points for team members who complete the open workouts and extra points will be earned for top finishes within the gym! (more on this on the 17th)
- Team Captain may plan 'strategy sessions' or other fun events to pump your team up for each workout!

Why You Should Participate:
Test Your Fitness: One of the great things about the CrossFit Open is that each year you get to test to see how you have improved! By logging and submitting your score online you have legitimate data to show your progress year after year. One of the common errors people make is they believe they have to be at a certain fitness level before participating but that is not true! The earlier you start to participate, the more data you will have year in year out to show your progress.
Motivation : Another great thing about the Open is that it keeps you motivated to train! If you know each February the Open is coming up, it allows you to set new goals each year. Whether that means getting your first pullup, or finishing higher than last year, the open will keep the fire lit!
