Our Program Structure
We consist of two teams – scholarship team and club team. The scholarship team consists of select athletes who receive a scholarship from ETSU. These athletes have high expectations. The club team consists of any ETSU students, faculty, and staff who enjoy competing in the sport of weightlifting. The club team athletes do not receive a scholarship and have less expectations than the scholarship team athletes. Both teams are managed by the same team staff and are technically considered to be part of Stoneage Weightlifting Club.
Joining the Club Team
The club team is open to any ETSU students, faculty, and staff. If you are interested in joining the club team, reach out to us using the contact information at the bottom of the page.

Tryout Process (Remote)
Due to the increased interest from foreign athletes who want to tryout, we will hold remote tryouts should the athlete meet the below criteria, it is also important to note the competition eligibility of a foreign athlete is very limited in the US:
-Currently resides in a foreign country
-Will have graduated from high school by the first day on our team
-Expected to spend at least 3 years at ETSU as a student (undergraduate or graduate)
-A current member of a national team
-No current or past serious injuries. A serious injury is defined as one involving any degree of tear, rupture, herniation, impingement, and/or fracture. In the event that a serious injury is suspected, an applicant will be asked to submit a medical diagnosis in English by a licensed doctor for any further consideration.
-No history of being sanctioned in any sports
