Powerlifting season is from August to February of each year
The 2009 Powerlifting season is now over. Congratulations to our athletes that competed at the Area level this year. A great job was done by all the athletes, coaches and parents! We will announce practice times for the 2010-2011 season when the new season gets closer (probably in August).
Thanks again to Snap Fitness for allowing us to practice at your facilities in South Arlington. You really helped our athletes to be better prepared for a great competition.
