As [the Official Training Technology Provider of USA Rugby](https://blog.bridgeathletic.com/usa-rugby-content-now-live-on-bridgeathletic-platform), BridgeAthletic ran it’s second halftime contest of the ARC2016. Athletes from two local South Florida teams, the Pompano Trojans and the St. Thomas Aquinas High School Raiders, competed to win their team a rugby skills and & strength team package on the BridgeAthletic platform. The contest consisted of the athletes performing a series of exercises on the BridgeAthletic platform then attempting conversion kicks. Both teams had three attempts to successfully complete a conversion, with the team converting the most winning the prize. (See photos below showing the athletes during the contest.) In a very close finish, the Pompano Trojans made their final kick to come out on top, winning a 6-month package on the BridgeAthletic platform for their team. With this package, each Trojan athlete will get a rugby-specific strength training program delivered to their smartphone. The coaches will be able to track the progress of all the athletes as they complete workouts and develop. As a USA Rugby member team, they will also receive skills & drills training content used by the National Team that will help the top athletes in their program develop in line with the [High Performance Player Pathway](http://usarugby.org/news/item/usa-rugby-announces-high-performance-player-pathway).
