THE
SPIRIT OF THE THOWDOWN
AWARD
The Spirit of the Throwdown Award recognizes the gym that best embodies the values of sportsmanship, community, encouragement, volunteerism, and positive impact throughout the Throwdown Series season.
WHY THE AWARD EXISTS
MORE THAN
A COMPETITION
The Throwdown Series has always been about more than workouts, scores, and podium finishes.
Every year we see gyms travel together, athletes cheer for competitors from other teams, coaches volunteer their time, and communities rally around athletes chasing goals.
Those moments are what make the Throwdown Series special.
The Spirit of the Throwdown Award was created to recognize the gym that best represents the values that allow our sport and our community to thrive.
