The NML Games: Phoenix, AZ Dec 4-6, 2026

You belong here exactly as you are. You choose from three levels of standards. If there is a fitness standard you cannot complete, don’t worry – the goal is to complete 4 of the 6 standards.

Phoenix mornings in December are cool, but it warms up fast. Bring layers of athletic apparel, your favorite training shoes and preferred sunscreen.

Both the Friday welcome reception and Sunday VIP session are casual.

You’ll receive a scorecard for your chosen level. There will be stations set up for each standard and people announcing when to move to the next station. Your goal is to complete 4 of the 6 standards. There are no rankings – just the satisfaction of hitting your marks.

Yes, there is ample street parking surrounding the venue.

Yes! We will have a private and comfortable space set up for any pumping or breastfeeding needs including a private bathroom, outlets and milk refrigeration.
