Grand Slam Summer Classic
GRAND SLAM SUMMER CLASSIC
This Physical Activity Challenge starts June 5th!
How It Works
We will combine regions through North America to form two teams…
the Mighty Bears vs the Fearsome Fire Ants
Beginning June 5th the Bears and the Fire Ants will go toe to toe in a 4 - 7 week* Grand Slam Summer Classic series based on physical activity points. Earn points with each minute of physical activity you complete. You’ll receive encouragement and tips from your Team Coach along the way! Each player (that’s you) will help contribute to your designated Team’s weekly score. Scores will be averaged by total players registered to determine Win/Loss for that week thus the reason weekly reporting is important from each player. Each week is a new week, a chance for your team to “knock it out of the park” and take home the win!
*Duration of the Grand Slam Summer Classic series may vary (4-7 weeks) - 1st Team to 4 wins takes the series!
How To Score Points
Types of exercise are divided into three categories:
One Point: Low intensity, e.g. stretching, leisure walk, golf with cart
Two Points: Moderate intensity, e.g. strength training, jogging, Zumba
Three Points: Vigorous intensity, e.g. running, jumping rope, H.I.T.T. workout
The individual score for an activity is the number of minutes multiplied by the scoring (1, 2, or 3 points). Only VOLUNTARY activities count towards your score, meaning work-related activities are not eligible to count.
A full list of eligible activities and an electronic scorecard to help you keep track of your points will be distributed to registered participants. Each Monday during the series you will receive an email with instructions on how to submit your previous week’s score. Weekly scores must be submitted in a timely fashion (due Tuesdays at 8pm ET (7pm CT).
***Participation in this or any program is voluntary. Consult your doctor prior to beginning an exercise program.***
