Where:: Flushing Meadows Corona Park - near Meadow Lake

The POWERade Pro Challenge was an interactive, 3-sport competition (football, basketball, and baseball) held at Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Each challenge was broken into three age groups (6-10, 11-15, 16-24) with prizes being awarded to the top performers in each division. The event was free and open to the public.

Participants competed at three athletic stations that included a football combine challenge, a shooting/speed contest and a home run derby. Other interactive activities included an athlete photo booth, a product sampling area, games and giveaways.

In addition, one individual was awarded a trip to Disney’s Wide World of Sports to play ball with the POWERade Pros. The lucky winner will participate in strength and tackling drills with Shawne Merriman, shooting and pick-up drills with Carmelo Anthony and hitting and fielding practice with Ryan Howard.
