Barbell Club
What is a Barbell Club?
Your school can be a
pioneer in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting
Give athletes the opportunity to compete at a national level or higher
Offer a club sport that students can take with them past their years in high school
Potentially get sponsors and equipment for your school team
Have the opportunity to host a sanctioned meet at your school
How is it run?
Barbell Club is run similarly
to any other club or team
at your school
Students interested would
pay dues (or be sponsored)
in order to participate
Some teams meet during a set weightlifting class time and others meet after school
A teacher or coach would be the club sponsor, but we would provide programming
What is the cost?
While not necessary, athletes might want to purchase lifting shoes and a belt
If athletes choose to
compete, they would need a singlet and a way to travel
There are meet fees as well as USAW fees in order to register as a junior weightlifter
Club fees are $250/athlete per semester, which includes programming, clinics, gym drop ins, and remote coaching feedback
Sponsorship
We never want the inability to pay to stand in the way of athlete participation
PWRx Performance has partnered with businesses willing to sponsor athletes
and meets
Each school has the option to procure their own sponsors if
they have those
resources available
Sponsorships range from $1000-$5000/yr. There is also an option to sponser an individual athlete for $500/yr
Schools may benefit from equipment donations and prizes
