Trodo Box League is an ongoing series of monthly team-based events that aims to involve 100% of a box's community. Each month there is a Trodo Open event held at participating boxes where all members can participate in team WODs. The top scoring teams then have the opportunity to represent their box at the Trodo Games versus other local boxes. The goal is to get more athletes training consistently and motivate them to improve as part of their box's team. Boxes register annually for access to programming, materials, and team registration to the Games.

3. Purpose of Trodo Box League
Trodo Box League was created for all
athletes. It‟s all about community, getting better
together and training for something bigger than yourself.
As a Trodo Box, 100%
Trodo Open
of your box community has the chance to participate in monthly
team-based WODs at your box, and then every month top teams move on to
represent your box with pride at Trodo
Games
events versus other local boxes.
Athletes will show up more, get better, and be fired
up to represent your box community.

7. Weight Standards
No really, Trodo is for all athletes; it's all about community and pushing to
new limits…together.
Weight standards are designed to encourage all athletes to get
involved. Generally speaking, only 20% of athletes do the ‟Rx' weight
during WODs. Of course, Rx is great, and everyone should always aspire
to do Rx, but we do weight standards a bit differently.
CAT 2
~40% of athletes
CAT 3
CAT 1
Trodo's weight categories are
designed to be more attainable
for a greater portion of your
community (versus Rx weight) to
encourage all athletes to get
involved regardless of skill level.
