Thankyou to our Sponsors

With the growth of CrossFit we have seen Reebok come onboard as a major sponsor for the 2011 CrossFit Games. More and more sponsors are looking for an opportunity to promote their business withing the fastest growing participation sport in the world. CFP & CFS has been fortunate enough to have sponsors for their numbered athletes with apparel through Joe and Judy Bennett, owners of Penrith Air Supply. We have a sponsor for our athletes accomodation at regionals by Austral Bricks, organized by Dave Fitzharris and strapping tape for our athletes through Anthony Ferguson at Terry White Chemist Penrith. When the idea of having sponsors was brought up by Jody and Glenn, it was decided that we wanted sponsors that were a part of our team. Business men and women that believed in our vision. Our sponsors value our team culture at CFP & CFS, and train with us when business commitments allow them too.

Thanks goes to our sponsors for all the support throughout the last 12 months, it is appreciated by the team.

Saturday Catch Up Session

Jack punching out Toes through rings

CFP's 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games Regional Team

What a hard fought couple of weeks it has been for all the athletes who tried out for CFP's Regional Team. When selecting a Team, an ideal situation is of course "Balance". The format is 3 Males & 3 Females & traditionally WOD's have consisted of 2 Males & 2 Females, although in last years CrossFit Games there was a WOD that consisted of all 6 Team Members contributing.

So as Head Coach & soul selector, the selection process is one I take very serious & is one of the more difficult tasks as Coach. But it is one I wouldn't swap for anything.

We have many Team mates that frequent CFP & CFS, but for those that have embraced CrossFit as their sport, well this is the business part of the season, & the major semi final kicks off next week on Friday 27th - Sunday 29th. I encourage all CFP Team members to come out & support the Team.

Timing is everything, so when I spotted this on one of the blogs I stalk (CrossFit One World) I thought it just perfect considering tryouts through the week & Regionals approaching. Also if anyone ever asks again "What practical application does a burpee have?" Refer to this.

Sunday Squad Tryouts

A good turnout today Team with plenty putting their hand up for a spot. At Regional level they will ask the team to compete over 3 days, testing not only an athletes physical & skill level but also an athletes mental strength. We need to be ready for anything they put in front of us.
There are a few that had previously arranged to be away this weekend (leaving tonight) & can't make the morning, but anyone else who has their hand up needs to be ready for "Day 2" of tryouts at 6:30am.
Rest up Team.

Saturday Squad Training

Squad training tomorrow from 130pm, looking to kick WOD off at 2pm.
Bring your game tomorrow Team, there's spots up for grabs.
Also, I know it's late notice but who's also available Sunday?
I have to submit official team members by Wednesday morning. It would be great to see a couple more combinations before I decide.
I'll put foreword Sunday 7:30am, who's with me?

Regional Qualifiers

Clear your calendar & get out to Sydney Olympic Park (27-29 May) to cheer on all the CFP athletes who are competing.
The event organizers are calling for any volunteers. The more people who get involved means less work for everyone & it's a great way to get behind the scenes. Put your name on board if interested.

Affiliate Cup Team

What a great turnout today. Whilst we still have tomorrow morning left until the competition closes, I would like to thank everyone for their efforts right across the 7 weeks.
Ill wait till the "Open" oficially closes tomorrow & do a post on it some time through the week.

However, with only 4 weeks till Regionals CFP will have qualified in Top 30 & will be fielding a Team of 3 Males & 3 Females. We will be running "Squad" training through the week. If you are interested trying out for a spot on the Team, please register your interest by C.O.B Monday 2/5/2011. We will have a squad of up to 12. Once we get everyones interest, we will arrange a training schedule that best suits the group.
I understand everyone has different schedules, but im sure we can make it work where most of the squad is there most of the time.
We have 4 weeks to get ready Team..
