Athletic Commitment to Excellence

Qualifying Total Point Value

 The criteria for achieving points are based on 2 categories, with multiple sub-categories.  The program is designed with “limited” categories where a player can only score a maximum number of points based on meeting standards associated with time and repetitions.  A second category has also been designed with “unlimited” point earning potential.  A player can score as many points as desired, based on the amount of dedication the player commits to the Sport over the Summer and thereafter. Elite status requires that the player can achieve at least a total of 35 points for S&C Tests #2-5. Players who achieve between 80 or more points will be eligible for Elite status.  *Provided all other eligibility requirements are met and maintained.Players who achieve 55 or more points will be eligible for “Crew” shirt status.*Provided all other eligibility requirements are met and maintained.Players who achieve under 55 points will receive  regular t-shirt status.
