Here is the website I use to keep tabs on upcoming competitions:

If you find one you want to go to, let me know! Right now it looks like we are sending athletes to the CrossFit Alpha Dog comp, the Chicago Open, and maybe the Iron Egg in October. The beauty of having a small class right now is I can program for you according to your competitor date. The sooner I know you’re going to a comp, the sooner we can start preparing.
