Here's the New Jersey version with the updated Sports Power Rating™, three-Division model, and Athletes Make The Best™ framework.

A New Pathway for Every Athlete in New Jersey

New Jersey is home to athletes of every age and ability. While few compete professionally, sports develop the discipline, teamwork, leadership, resilience, and work ethic that fuel success in school, careers, business, and life.

Sports Power Infrastructure™ is a technology platform that connects athletic performance with education, workforce, supplier, health, and community opportunities through one verified standard: the Sports Power Rating™.

Every participant competes in one of three Divisions:

• Division I • Open | Ages 12–64
  Student athletes, college athletes, adults, and former athletes pursuing education, careers, entrepreneurship, leadership, and workforce opportunities.

• Division II • Active Aging | Ages 65+
  Older adults focused on healthy aging, mentoring, volunteer leadership, encore careers, community engagement, and lifelong wellness.

• Division III • Developmental Disabilities | Adults 18+
  Adults with developmental disabilities building independence, workforce readiness, supported employment, community participation, and lifelong achievement.

Every Division follows its own Sports Power Rating™ process with Division-specific performance assessments and self-reported assessments designed for its participants.

Three Qualifiers. One Championship.

Fall Qualifier
September 1 – November 15, 2026

Winter Qualifier
December 1, 2026 – February 14, 2027
