Volunteering at the WSO

The WSO Championship doesn’t run without capable individuals who can help with the many positions that need to be filled! Please volunteer to help on either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday if you are able.

Volunteers who sign up by October 16th will receive a competition t-shirt if they work 2 or more sessions throughout the weekend. 

We are going to be responsible for 1 session of loading (3 volunteers) and once we know which session that will be, we will ask around our club for help with that.

Video Packages from Big Juice Creative

If you would like to purchase professional videos of your lifts for the WSO, you can do so below. There are two package options to choose from.

WSO Prep Meetings with Your Coach - For Competing Athletes

If you are competing at the WSO, please schedule a meeting with your coach prior to the WSO to review your plan going into the competition.

To do so, log into your ZenPlanner App > Tap your initials in the top left corner > Appointments > Book Appointment > Appointment Type: Meeting + Instructor [choose your instructor] + Date [choose your date] > Select the time that works for you > Book the appointment.

We have a document for each athlete that you and the coach will be working through on this call. Expect this to take approximately 20 minutes.

Your coach will call you at the scheduled time.

Team Jackets

If you want to rep SoCal at the WSO Championship, grab yourself a team jacket for $60! You can pre-order or buy one at the gym as soon as they arrive. We expect them to be delivered the week of the WSO Championships. You will need to log into your ZenPlanner account (same info as you use for the app) to purchase.

Updated Competition Schedule

Please see below for the updated competition schedule.

If you are currently listed as Unaffiliated on the WSO Schedule, you will need to change your club affiliation in USA Weightlifting’s BARS system for it to count at the WSO. We want as many athletes lifting under the SoCal banner as possible as it also contributes to the team score and we would love for your score to potentially be included
