common questions or concerns
I don’t really get it, what is this.
GRID is an extremely exciting, true team sport with men and women on up to 18 person teams. Team members play different roles (some only move barbells, some only perform gymnastics movements, some do a little of everything) and come together to create the best team effort to win against the other team they are playing in a given match.
Like other team sports, strategy, communication, team cohesion, leadership, and a myriad of other factors contribute to the best performance as a team.
Explanation of the sport:
But I’m not good enough.
Remember, you do not need to be well rounded. You do not need an engine. You don’t need to have ever stood on a podium before. This is different.
You do need to be open to putting yourself out there, having a positive attitude about being a member of a team, and have a desire to learn and grow.

Trying out, not making a team, but getting so much more:
What are the tests?
In addition, you can specify your own tests that can be sent in separately. Teams will want to see any special talents you have whether it be a max lift, a big set of your favorite gymnastics movement, or even something obscure like legless rope climbs, fast burpee over box or moving a large stone.
This is all about showcasing your talents to teams can identify if you fill a hole they have.
Sample tests:
Generalist tests:
- 20 Thrusters for time (135/95)
- 4 Rope climbs for time (15’)

How many tests should I do?
What is the process?
Once the tests are taken, a team may ask you for additional tests or for a phone interview or even possibly to come to a practice. Personality is important to being a good member of the team.
Once the team has enough information (it may be the tests alone) they may sign you. Regardless, you will receive an answer within 2 weeks of submission.
What is the time commitment to be a part of the team?
Beyond that would be team practice time, which is different for each team. It may be as few as 2 practices before the season, or as many as weekly, but we recommend asking the team of your choice their requirements, commute, and schedule.
Our goal as a League is to create flexibility for people of all situations to participate, and use normal scheduled training time as much as possible. We even have options in place if a player needs to miss a match or two.
