nextgen throwdown: a fitness revolution
recap of 2026
Our 2nd annual NextGen Throwdown was a resounding success with over 30 young athletes stepping up to the challenge and demonstrating their incredible skills.
looking ahead to August 7, 2027
As we gear up for the 2027 NextGen Throwdown, we're aiming to make 2027 even more spectacular! With more athletes expected to join, this is your chance to showcase your strength, skill, and determination.
The 2026 event
To ensure fair competition and maximize fun, we have divided the participants into five distinct age divisions:
- Dynamos · Ages 6–7
- Superheroes · Ages 8–9
- Titans · Ages 10–11
- Avengers · Ages 12–13
- Legends · Ages 14–16
Compete within your age group and show off your skills with peers, fostering a supportive and encouraging environment for all.
**NOTE: we also have a Fun division for athletes who may not be able to complete the workout standards for their age group, but still want to join in on the fun. This division does not qualify for prizes, but we will be able to modify the movements to fit the athlete and they will compete alongside everyone else.
details for 2027 coming in spring of 2027
