7 Deuce Sports GridIron Challenge FUELED by Army Strong

On Saturday, June 30th, 2012, Tra Thomas’ 7 Deuce Sports in Medford, NJ will host their first annual 7 Deuce Sports GridIron Challenge FUELED by Army Strong.

Teams of four will brave an obstacle course that will highlight functional training methods used by elite military forces and top athletes. It's a "back to basics" approach to exercise that doesn't require equipment. Teams will be faced with obstacles challenging their flexibility, balance, strength, power, speed, and endurance.

You are invited to challenge yourself and three of your colleagues to this no-holds-barred course. Come out and prove what your team is made of against other members of the local professional and high school community!  And don’t worry – even though the challenges come from the playbooks of military forces and pro athletes, they're achievable by everyday people!
