This week's episode is all about the HPCF Intramural Open!

 

So what exactly is the Intramural Open?

This is our 2nd year, and it is meant to just be fun with friends!

It all starts with you registering for our Intramural Open. We will appoint 4 HPCF Ambassador members to go around the gym recruiting and collecting names of gym members who want to partake.

On February 14th, 1 week before the Open begins, we will have our first amazing event…Draft Night! This is where teams and athletes find their match. Now don’t worry about being last pick – we have a fun way of doing it and it does not involve picking someone last based on skill.

While the draft is awesome, the real fun begins post draft night... The weekly Challenges!

Once teams are set and workouts begin, it’s quite simple. You earn a point for your team by simply doing the workout and submitting your score.

If your team brings the most "spirit" in any given week then your team receives 5 extra points for that week.

Spirit will be determined by your costumes (yes, each week has a theme!) and the most creative in the weekly challenge - This will be voted on in the HPCF member page so get creative and make sure you do them correctly! As you can see, you'll receive points just for doing the workouts and entering your score and doing the challenges with your team! It's simple! We've made this much more simple than last year.

The team with the MOST team points at the end of the Intramural Open will have their name added to the Official HPCF Trophy! The Trophy will be housed at the gym of the winning team's choosing!

Recruiting period

Starting today, we have assigned 4 team Captains per location:

Kenosha: Ed Mathein, Amy Rendon, Kristine Schmaling & Jodie Musselman

Racine: Holly Berry, Jeana Monroe, Maren McNeil & Nicole Scanlon

Your Team Captains will now start to "Recruit" you to sign up for the intramural open for the coming weeks. On the weekend of February 14th, we will host a "Draft night" (you do not need to be present - this will be just the captains, but we will go LIVE on FB to announce it)

Oh... and did we mention that the location (Kenosha or Racine) that has the most people signed up and participating in the Intramural Open will host Week's 1, 3 & 5 of the Friday Night Lights! Captains, this is on you to help spread the word!

Folks, it's totally normal to be a little nervous. But then again, you were all super nervous the first time you walked through our doors and you know how well that worked out. So make the leap, trust in us, and get ready for an amazing time! Let's do this!

When is Draft night?

We will be holding the draft with the team Captains on the weekend of February 14th! There is NO need for you to be there, only captains will need to be present and we will air the draft live in the member group!
