J.E.T. Tryouts

After recent conferences with all the de Been Academy owners it was decided that tryouts would now determine which athletes would attend the annual JET training/selection camp.
The tryouts will include;

• a fitness test
• a physically demanding fitness training session
• Brazilian Jiu Jitsu technique training sessions
• competition wrestling matches

Previously athlete selection was based on; the number of competitions they had participated in and regular attendance. However, some families are unable to get to the capitol cities to attend tournaments for one reason or another.
 
JET tryouts will ensure that all athletes that attend are all placed on the same level playing field and are neither at an advantage or disadvantage to those that have competed. Attributes that will be viewed during the tryouts will be;

• fitness
• emotional maturity
• ability to receive information and execute required technique with little guidance
• resilience

The tryouts will be held at the Academy late November commencing at 9am SHARP (pending COVID restrictions).

All participants will be required to bring/wear active wear for fitness testing and training sessions as well as their Gi and belt. Lunch will be provided on the day and the tryouts will be for athletes of the age of 10 to 16.

PLEASE NOTE: teens that have not completed and brought in the 'Teen Code of Conduct' are ineligible to participate.
