Team CSC Newsletter - June 2023
Member of the Month - Kelly Birchall
The team would like to award this June’s Member of the Month to Kelly Birchall!
Her efforts and commitment haven’t gone unnoticed, she has been regularly attending classes for a while now and continues to show up no matter what life throws in her way! Kelly is currently in a cast, yet still shows up to training and does what she can.
Kelly’s worked with the coaches to adapt classes and she tackles anything that we throw at her with a ‘wiling to try’ attitude. She’s remained positive throughout her injury and setting a great example that you can still train with an injury with some tweaks to movements.
The coaches have really noticed an improvement with her technique and her strength over her time with us and we look forward to watching you carry on progressing.
Well done Kelly, keep up the hard work! 💪
CSC In-House Throwdown - 10 Year Anniversary 🥳
When: Saturday 19th August
What: In-House Throwdown - Teams of 3 (Same Sex)
Where: Central Staffs CrossFit
In August, we will not only be celebrating our 10th anniversary as a CrossFit affiliate, but we will also be hosting our next CSC Summer In-House Throwdown. Spaces will be limited to 60 and we expect it to sell out again so be sure to book your space if you would like to join in with all the fun!
As well as all of the CrossFit fun going on through the day, we will also have DJ Lee Cotter joining us to provide the tunes to get you through the workouts! 🎶 To keep you fueled through the day, we also have Track and Taste returning! 🍟
Due to last minute cancellations / drop outs in the past and with our throwdowns being team oriented, we will not be able to issue a refund for spaces if cancelling any later than 4 weeks before the event (latest cancellation date with a refund will be Saturday 22nd July), unless there is any extreme circumstance. The coaching team will be happy to discuss with you if needed.
We ask that all participants complete the seeding workouts by the deadline in order to be placed in to a team. You will have 8 weeks from the date that the seeding workouts are released to complete them and submit your scores. Workouts will be placed in the box programming so that everyone gets the chance to complete them on a class, but if you are unable to attend the class we ask that you come in and complete them on open gym. Seedings will need to be complete for participants to be put into a team.
Please see timeline below for important dates leading up to the throwdown:
Monday 5th June - Seeding Workouts Announced
Monday 31st July - Seeding Workout Submission Deadline
Friday 4th August - Teams Announced
We look forward to yet another great in-house event and we hope you are all looking forward to it too! As always, if it’s not your scene to participate, we will always be looking for volunteers to help the day run and everyone is welcome to come along and spectate and cheer on the rest of Team CSC through the day!

✅ 2023 Team CSC Charity Hike Completed!
On 20th May, 26 members and 7 dogs completed our annual CSC Charity Hike! 🥾
Team CSC climbed over 800 meters in elevation, over 20 kilometers. The sun was shining, and although we have a few red faces, everyone did a fantastic job with the hike!
This year, we're raising money for Katharine House Hospice, who provide free hospice care services in Mid Staffordshire for people faced with an illness that cannot be cured.
