Hi all,
I am an incoming Plebe and am very into weightlifting. I would love to join the powerlifting team during my time at USNA. First - what are the athletic requirements at the Naval Academy? Does each student need to be a part of some team whether it’s varsity, club, or intramural? Someone told me that but I never actually read it or heard it anywhere from anyone I interviewed with.
As for powerlifting specifically, I’m struggling to find information on their website other than the Instagram page. Is this considered a club sport? Are there tryouts? The only thing I’m worried about is that I stay away from squatting since I tend to use my back and end up getting injured… but I’m assuming squatting would be a necessary part of the powerlifting team.
Thanks for your help !! I also should mention I am female.
