7.  A sport-specific performance test will be administered by a certified strength and conditioning coach during the tryout camps for all sports.  The purpose of this test is to track and evaluate performance data for high performance athletes.  Additionally, the data enables the strength and conditioning expert an opportunity to design a training plan tailored to specific Marines and their sport.
8.  All athletes and coaches must demonstrate a level of competitive intensity and resolve that is commensurate with the traditions and reputation of the United States Marine Corps.
9.  Coaches’ responsibilities include: reviewing applications and selecting Marines for tryout camp, organizing and attending tryout camp, attending and coaching the team in Armed Forces Championship competition, and providing an after-action report to MFS.  Further duties will be enumerated upon selection.
10.  Applicants are required to have a valid Government Travel Charge Card and an active Defense Travel System account.
11.  HQMC MFS will fund the travel costs associated with these events.
