"Challenges are what make life interesting. Overcoming them is what makes life meaningful."

-Joshua Marine

Challenger is our competitive group for athletes from 11 to 14 years old. This group aims to push athletes forward from good to great! Athletes in this group are held to high standards of attendance, preparation, and achievement as they learn the physical, mental, and emotional skills necessary to excel in the sport.

These athletes are commonly seen competing at the Divisional and State championships, as well as representing FRST wherever competition takes us. As members of Challenger carve out their place in the sport they will experience many opportunities to experience the fun and challenge the sport has to offer on a local, state, and national stage.

To qualify for this group, athletes must have multiple Divisional cuts for age 12 of their respective gender and be ready to pursue higher standards. Practice attendance is a high priority, and athletes are expected to attend all meets.
