LWD CAMP FAQS…

Let Women Decathlon is a movement that has petitioned to allow women to compete in a Decathlon in the Olympic Games for the first time since men started back in 1912.
The Decathlon crowns the “World’s Greatest Athlete” at The Games, and women have been doing decathlons around the world for over half a century - but never once at the Olympics!
➭ In 1964 it was decided that women could handle doing 5 events.
➭ In 1984 it was decided that women could handle doing 7 events.
➭ Today, in 2023, women are still only allowed to do the 7! We believe they are capable of 10 at The Olympic Games!

➭ Elementary & Middle School: 1st Grade - 8th Grade.
➭ High School: 9th Grade -12th Grade.
Please base your child’s age off of the grade they just completed. This is to ensure that we do not have kids coming straight out of Kindergarten in an organized sports environment they are not accustomed to. We also want to avoid having students in our high school camp who are not familiar with competing at a high school level.
The ONLY exception we will consider is if your 8th grade athlete has already competed at the high school level. You may be asked to submit rosters, mile-split, or meet results as proof for the exception.
Absolutely! This camp is in honor of “Let Women Decathlon” to bring more awareness to the movement and to let kids try the decathlon - an event many young athletes never get to try!
The reason that Let Women Decathlon exists is because decision makers chose to exclude women from the competition. We strive to be inclusive of everyone, and welcome boys to attend!
IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE LEVEL OF TRAINING AND ONE-ON-ONE ATTENTION WE SEEK TO PROVIDE OUR ATHLETES, REGISTRATION IS VERY LIMITED TO ONLY 25 ELEMENTARY / MIDDLE SCHOOL ATHLETES AND 25 HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES.
BECAUSE SPACES ARE SO LIMITED, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO REGISTER YOUR ATHLETES EARLY! CLICK HERE TO REGISTER NOW.
