What a month for our youth competition team.
Over the past month we competed at both the Lion Cup and the Nijmegen Open, bringing home an incredible 48 medals and 3 team trophies.
🥇 25 Gold
🥈 11 Silver
🥉 12 Bronze
🏆 Team Results:
🥇 Lion Cup Day 1
🥈 Lion Cup Day 2
🥇 Nijmegen Open
To put that into perspective: 48 medals in just two tournaments. An unbelievable achievement by our athletes, coaches and parents.
A special mention goes to Dakota (14), who not only competed in the youth divisions, but also stepped up into the adult division. She submitted every adult opponent she faced, finishing all of her matches in under a minute and taking home gold. An incredible performance.
Our adults have also been representing Elevation this month. Competitors stepped onto the mats at both Versus and Grapple City, where Milan secured an impressive silver medal with two submission victories.
With that, the youth competition season comes to an end. We won’t be competing again until after the summer break.
Now it’s time to get back to work. Time to sharpen our skills, improve our weaknesses and make sure that next season we are even more dominant on both the national and international stage.
Thank you to all athletes, parents, coaches and supporters who make this possible.
The future is bright.

• Coach Boris – 1x Gold, 1x Silver in his return to competition
• Milan – Bronze in his first Blue Belt tournament, in a tough division

Versus Future League – March 22
Yesterday we travelled to Eindhoven with our youth team.
12 athletes – 17 medals
Almost 90 matches in total.
We came home with a strong 2nd place as a team, just missing out on 1st.
Nice moment of the day:
Dakota finally competed in the No-Gi boys division, something she had been asking for for a long time. She won all her matches, submitting almost every opponent.

Next up in the coming 4 weeks:
• Veluwe Open
• IBJJF Milan Open
• IBJJF European Championship (Youth) – Dublin
Back to work
Last Monday we had our semi annual promotion training and it was a great one, with 80 people on the mat it was one of the best ones we had.
At the end of the session, 8 athletes were promoted to Blue Belt:
Sijun
Milan
Boy
Allard
Joost
Jos

Congratulations to all of you. Well deserved and earned with blood, sweat and sometimes even tears.

Het Elevation Youth Program blijft groeien.
Met inmiddels 12 jeugdlessen per week en bijna 200 jeugdleden hebben we het grootste aanbod aan jeugd BJJ-lessen van Nederland.
En we breiden verder uit.
Er zijn 3 nieuwe lessen toegevoegd aan het jeugdrooster:
• Juveniles No-Gi lessen (14–17 jaar)
• Een extra Mini les op woensdagmiddag (3–5 jaar)
Zo creëren we voor elke leeftijd en elk niveau een passende trainingsomgeving.
Van de allerkleinsten tot competitieve jeugd en de doorstroom richting volwassenen.
Structuur. Discipline . Ontwikkeling.
Dat is waar het Elevation Youth Program voor staat.

What a month it’s been for our Elevation youth team!
In the past month, we competed at Lion Cub and Versus the Future League, bringing home an incredible 37 medals and two team trophies!!
Super proud of every single one of our kids, the effort, the discipline, and the heart they show on the mats are inspiring every time.
Now it’s back to work as we prepare for the next Versus the Future League and, of course, the big goal ahead: the European Championship 2026 in Rome 🇮🇹
