Frequently Asked Questions
-
Club Weightlifting, similar to club volleyball or club soccer, allows athletes to train for weightlifting year round, both through FHSAA and USA Weightlifting competitions. The reality of high school weightlifting is that the best of the best, those who qualify and compete at the state championships and beyond, all train year round.
Club Weightlifting is a part of USA Weightlifting, the organization that runs the National Championships, and identifies and recruits high performers to compete for Team USA at international competitions such as the World Championships and Olympics.
While high school weightlifting has both the Traditional event (Bench Press + Clean & Jerk) and the Olympic event (Snatch + Clean & Jerk), Club Weightlifting only competes in the Olympic event.
Our focus will be on helping athletes qualify and compete at the National Championships in Colorado Springs, Co. from June 22th-27th, while also ensuring athletes perform their best during the FHSAA high school season.

The qualifying process for nationals is much simpler than the process for FHSAA Regionals and States, you simply need to lift the minimum qualifying total for your weight class and age division in a sanctioned USA Weightlifting Meet by May 27th at the latest. The list of qualifying totals can always be found on the USAW Website.
In order to compete at both nationals and any qualifying meet, you must have a USA Weightlifting membership which you can sign up for here.
Once you have signed up for a USAW membership, you can now sign up for any USA Weightlifting local competition.
We will be announcing additional qualifying events over the next few weeks.
