2024 Dutch Strength Weightlifting Tournament Lift Off's 13+yr

A few times a year we organize the Dutch Strength Lift Off’s 13+yr ( -18yr athletes need to be guided by their parents/caretakers). As usual we ask every athlete to register 1 person as helper for the organisation (e.g. loading the bars or other tasks) in their group. Every athlete (NGB-licensed) can also register 1 coach (NGB-licensed).

Our events are livestreamed – links at our broadcasting page – Our gym has limited space (see below map) and cann’t provide supporters to enter the building during competitions when they haven’t been invited.

If you come by car – search on internet with “P+R Amsterdam” to obtain info!

Ticketsales starts -4/-6 weeks in advance and stops -2 weeks before the event.

After payment you have to add data in a seperate google-form like NGB License, name of coach and/or helper.

The data are all checked at the end of the period of subscription. Because of limited space in our gym we organise this event only with limited public.

Rules are compliant to IWF (including sporttenue singlet etc) with the exception of the lifting platform (see below).

After all results have been double-checked the athlete receives a certificate per mail by Dutch Strength and automatically participates at the Dutch Strength 2023 ranking. Seperate results are administrated nationally if possible/permitted by NGB to national ranking (Q-points male / female) and records at age/bwt classes by the association.
We send all the lifters docs related to groups and timetable one week before the competition in agreement with NGB and take into consideration constraints number of athletes subscribed, coaching/offical roles, club etc.
