2022/23 SEASON 1
A NEW SPORT HAS ARRIVED AT YOUR COLLEGE : THE SPORT OF FITNESS

As college students begin classes in September, they are joined by those already studying at the facility.  Many college students enjoy playing sports and being part of one of the many teams on campus.  There are, however, many who don’t participate, for reasons including not knowing what sport they are good at, or could be good at, and not getting to experience that element of college life.  Fitness is hugely popular among college students aged 16-19 who train regularly in the ‘sport of fitness rather than traditional team sports, and many of whom don’t use the college’s facilities.  Archon plays a crucial role here
In a sense, Archon is fitness performance software that allows users to administer SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) style tests across several sports and fitness modalities, but for fitness, rather than academic studies
COMBINE PHASE 1 - INTER COLLEGIATE COMPETITION

The college makes available a unique set of fitness movements for every student to complete, which gives them their own unique ACC Rating.  It can be done at the college if it has the facilities, or it can be done at a gym, box, or wherever the student trains when they are off campus

COMBINE PHASE 2 - ATHLETE SELECTION

Your college will select two (2) student-athletes (normally the highest rated) to represent the college at the National ACC (Archon Collegiate Combine) in April 2023

COMBINE PHASE 3 - AOC CHAMPIONSHIPS

The AOC Sports Championships at Nottingham University will hold the first-ever fitness competition for college students in April 2023.  Competitors will compete on a level playing field to determine who wins the title of ACC 2023 Fittest College Student

PROVIDE A FITNESS RATING FOR EVERY STUDENT
AN AMBITIOUS GOAL

The UK has never had a progressional model for fitness that starts in college, continues at univeristy and beyond
The combine will be a first-of-its-kind competition.  A competition that utilises technology at every stage to allow athletes and competitors to monitor their performance, identify strengths and weaknesses and compare their improvements from one year to the next.  We will implement the same competition structure within universities so that fitness competition is carried over from the collegiate to the university level
In the combine, a pre-set battery of movement-based assessments is used to produce a single fitness rating based on height, weight, age, and gender.  Students enrolled in the college can complete this as part of their experience on the college team, fitness-related courses, or independent training away from the campus

THE ACC RATING

Once they have completed the 10 assessments, each student will receive their unique ACC Rating

This will be used to determine who will represent the college in the first-ever National ACC to be held at Nottingham University in 2023 at the AOC Sports Championships.  It is the first time fitness will be at the center of competition, so those who aren’t part of the college’s sports teams can still have the same experience as their peers involved in football, rugby, and many other sports.  This competition will be unlike any other, with no categories, so the student-athletes can test each element of their fitness equally.  AOC Sports Fittest Student won’t necessarily be the biggest or fastest. Instead, it will be the student who rates the highest and walks away as the winner.
