At the end of the competition, we’ll have an awards ceremony and present medals to our 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners.
We are also creating a Phoenix Games Record Board to post at the squadron building with the winners and record holders for each event so we can update it every year after each edition of the Phoenix Games.
Lunch and snacks will be provided
Registration is open through September 20
We need all cadets who plan to participate to sign up now. After Sept 20, Maj Albright will assign cadets to a team. Just like when you go to Encampment or Minnesota Leadership Academy, you will be assigned to a team. Each team will have 1 NCO, 1 Officer and 4 Airman phase cadets. We want every single active Anoka Cadet to be at this event.
Once you have your team assignment, as a team, you need to pick a team name, decide on a team shirt to wear during the event.
We’re SO excited for The Phoenix Games.
