COMPETITION
The Competition Committee organizes workouts and clinics throughout the summer, helps maintain competition gear and equipment for members to use, and hosts 2 intercrew competitions each summer. Members of the committee also help organize the LBLG teams at CSLSA Regionals, USLA Nationals, and other competitions throughout the summer.
Competition equipment is kept at each of the areas (East Beach, West Beach, Stillwater) and members are encouraged to use it! If you don't know how to handle or post-op certain equipment, ask first.
If you want to be involved or have questions, reach out to the Competition Committee Chair, Gabe Jordan.
