Spring Challenge 2026

Please consult with your doctor or health care provider before taking up this challenge and/or a new exercise regimen. 

  • Each team should have four players, and all players are expected to participate every week. If one player cannot cover all the required points in a given week, other team members may assist in covering the remaining points.

  • There will still be a minimum number of points required from each team member.

  • Spouses may be on the same team.

  • There are no pro or semi-pro teams—everyone should be able to meet these point requirements.
