Club of the Year award

Club of the year is the one award that is not given via vote by the membership.  It is selected by a point system, and the defending club of the year is not eligible to repeat. The point system is as follows:

Club Awards are determined by adding up club points using this 4-Step System:

1. One point awarded to the club for EACH USAWA registered member that lists the club as their affiliated club on their membership application. This designation is also listed beside the members name on the membership roster.
2. Two points awarded to the club for EACH club member that participates in the National Championships, World Championships, and Gold Cup. Points are awarded for each competition, so if one club athlete competes in all three of these big meets it would generate 6 points for the club.
3. Three points awarded to the club for EACH USAWA sanctioned event or competition the club promotes.
4. Four bonus points awarded to the club for promotion of the National Championships, World Championships, and Gold Cup.

First place in this category for 2023 is Habecker’s Gym!

Second place is KCSTRONGMAN.

We are currently at 8 clubs for the year 2023.  We have started to branch out into some different territories and are hoping that clubs start popping up in other locations.  Thank you to all who register as a club.  It is things like this that will keep us moving forward as an organization,
