Sectionals Schedule

We've banded together with some of the other regional affiliates to create an exciting take on this year's CF Games Sectional process! Instead of running the event each weekend, we've decided to rotate the event to increase the amount of competition and create the exciting environment that we all enjoyed from year's past.

Here is the tentative schedule for the rotation (subject to change):

March 19th - CrossFit Delaware Valley, Broomall, PA
March 26th - CrossFit King of Prussia, Bridgeport, PA
April 2nd - Crossfit Generation, Hatboro-Horsham, PA
April 9th - CrossFit Inspire - Malvern, PA
April 16th - CrossFit Explode, West Chester, PA
April 23rd - CrossFit Apex, Harleysville, PA

Each event will start registration at 9AM with first heats starting by 10AM. The cost to attend the event at any of the listed boxes will be $20 per event, which covers the entry fee and helps the host box with incidentals, food, etc. Registration will be in two parts:

1 - Athletes will need to register as a competitor on the CF Games site, which is due to be released next week. This process is owned by HQ.
2 - If an athlete wishes to perform the workout at the weekly designated box, he/she will need to visit that gym's website and follow the registration process listed there. Some of the gyms will be handling this electronically, while others will use email to sign folks up. In any case, signup processes will go live on these gym websites within the next few weeks.

We will need volunteers to run registration, handle spectators and facilitate parking. If you would like to help out, please contact the host box.

There will be a limited number of slots available at each gym so please sign up as soon as possible!

Welcome!

You've arrived at the blog home for the Philadelphia area CrossFit Games Sectionals.  This year, the CrossFit Games Sectional will be held as a six week compilation of workouts, instead of a one-day event.  For more information on the general format of the Sectional process, visit this links:

We have decided to band together as Affiliates and 'spread the love' with regards to the sectionals.  Instead of each affiliate running a sectional workout each weekend, we will establish a rotating list of affiliates that will host the WODs at their boxes.  This list will change from week-to-week, depending on the equipment and space required (as well as the individual schedules of the participating affiliates.

So far, we have the following Affiliates on board to participate:

CrossFit Delaware Valley - Broomall, PA
CrossFit Apex - Harleysville, PA
CrossFit King of Prussia - Bridgeport, PA
CrossFit Inspire - Malvern, PA
CrossFit Generation - Hatboro-Horsham, PA
CrossFit Explode - West Chester, PA

During the sectionals season, we will announce the participating boxes on Wednesday.  CF Games WODs will be held on Saturdays (generally), although there may be some flex depending on schedules.  Each box will have a certain number of spaces and once those spaces are full, athletes will need to go to another participating affiliate or video themselves performing the WOD.  Each workout will cost $20, and will be paid directly to the affiliate (via an online system for some, cash for others).  Logistics for each box will be announced each week along with the schedule (parking, etc).

As this process becomes more clear and more Philly-area Affiliates join our group, we will update this website. Please direct all questions to PhillyAreaSectionals@gmail.com.

On behalf of all the Philly Affiliates, we wish everyone a great competitive season.  Best of luck!
