Fairfax, Va. – Founded in April 2014, the DC Brawlers is an official team of the National Professional Grid League. The team embodies the core principles of integrity, toughness, ferocity and strength. Featuring both male and female functional fitness athletes, the DC Brawlers seeks to inspire the fight within.
The Brawlers’ roster boasts some of the top names in the sport as well as emerging athletes ready to make their mark. Three athletes, Christy Adkins, Jerry Hill and Alec Smith, hail from the Mid-Atlantic States and will surely be hometown favorites as the team and league start its inaugural season this month.
Two matches are set for the DC Brawlers at the Patriot Center: August 26 against the Philadelphia Founders and September 6 against the New York Rhinos.
“I’m thrilled with the team we’ve been able to put together thus far,” said DC Brawlers head coach Justin Cotler. “This group of athletes will be a force of experience and fitness diversity in the NPGL. From powerlifting expertise to competitive gymnastics athletes, I can’t wait to get this group together and show the community what we’re all about.”
