#1 - 23 August, 2024: 2025 EVENT PAPERWORK POSTED
The registration site is slated to open at noon eastern time on 1 October. Entries will be accepted on a first-come, first served basis. Don't wait, register today to lock in your competition slot(s). #2 - 8 October, 2024: Flexed Arm-Hang Grip Changed #3 - 26 January, 2025: Entry Limitations #4 - 27 January, 2025: HYDRATION will be a required entry component!
SNI STRONGLY RECOMMENDS EACH TEAM BRING THE FOLLOWING:
- 10' x 10' pop-up tent to place on the beach to provide shade for your attending cadets between events.
Event SOP and score sheets are now posted on the website for the 2025 Championships. Please read through CAREFULLY and prepare. There are many changes to make the 2025 the most challenging yet. Some of the highlights?
- All Divisions now maintain 9 competitors and 14 total cadets on a team.
- Team Beach Run now has the PVC Tube filled with SAND in the Male and Mixed Divisions.
- 4' Vault and ammo cans are carried on the P.T.T. course.
- Standing Broad Jump is now a Standing DOUBLE Broad Jump (with several links to help you train!)
- All Flexed Arm Hang and Pull-Ups are now done with a "Palms-Out" grip.
While the pull-ups will be executed now with the "palms facing out" grip only, using this for the female flexed arm hang would be very non-standard. Therefore, the rule for the flexed arm hand has been changed to now require the "palms facing in" grip for all competitors only for the arm hang.
Schools may NOT enter more than a single team into any one of the three different competition categories. While a late emergency can be something that could change this for a school, one of the many goals of the Fitness Nationals is to crown the best MALE, FEMALE and MIXED team in the JROTC Universe. To do this, YOUR SCHOOL makes the first cut by not entering more than one team in any of the three categories!
All competing cadets (those wearing a wrist band) will be required to produce a FILLED, ONE GALLON hydration drink at beach registration desk upon initial entry to the beach. Additionally, the team must maintain sunblock (applied to the cadets AND in a container to reapply as needed). Those without water and sunblock will NOT be allowed to compete in the two beach events, no exceptions! Each team is slated to be on the beach for roughly 2-1/2 hours. While SNI has recommended these safety items in the past, too many teams have NOT PREPARED, placing the cadets in danger. Therefore, these items are required to gain beach competition entry.
- Gloves and hats, as well as matching thin, long sleeve beach shirts for the cadets are a smart add.
(especially for cadets from farther north unused to the intensity of the sun here in Daytona!)
THEREFORE YOU WILL HAVE TIME TO SCHEDULE YOUR MEALS & ACTIVITIES AROUND YOUR COMPETITION TIMES!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL JROTC FITNESS TEAMS!
