want to get involved?

Volunteering at a WPA event is a great way to be part of the action while supporting the powerlifting community.

There are plenty of roles available, including platform crew, referees, warm-up room staff, table staff, MCs, commentary, replay operators, and set-up/tear-down helpers. All volunteers receive refreshments on the day, a free sponsor T-shirt, and points that can go towards making your next competition cheaper.

Whether you're a lifter, coach, or fan—there's a place for you to get involved!
