Comine Registration is open

August 26th @ CrossFit Cape Coral

Maybe you have heard the hype about the FGL Season. Or you saw someone you know get signed. Here is you chance to challenge yourself, try something new, and get a taste of the excitement, fun, and different experience of GRID.

GRID is about using your strengths to contribute to the team. If you can move a barbell effectively, or can rep out gymnastics movements, have a great balance of the two, or just like to move FAST… the SWFL Sharks could be looking for you to join their quest to win $20k and bring the FGL Season Championship home to SWFL.

How the Combine Works:

The Combine is divided into the following portions of a single day.

Morning Session

This is your chance to show off your best or favorite skills. YOU choose any and all tests you feel will best position yourself to be desirable in the eyes of a coach. You are free to interact and ask questions with team and League leadership. You can even show other skills not listed if you feel relevant.

• Refs are basically to count reps/record time only. If an athlete does not meet the standards it reflects on their performance and can be noted by coaching staff and will result in an athlete getting a lower score.
• There will be several stations set-up throughout the space to accommodate the tests. Multiple tests can be performed on single stations

Below are a list of some samples of possible tests available during the combine:
