World Chase Tag® is proud to introduce the WCT Academy™ Competition Passport, a brand-new resource designed to give athletes, coaches, and gyms a clear pathway to success. Available now in both English and French, this passport marks another milestone in WCT’s mission to provide world-class tools that support the growth of our sport worldwide.
A Structured Pathway, Inspired by Martial Arts
One of the most exciting features of the WCT Academy™ Competition Passport is its progression system. Much like the belt structure in martial arts, athletes advance through five levels (White, Green, Blue, Red, and Black), each with its own set of skills, fitness benchmarks, and strategic challenges.
This structured approach provides:
- Clarity: Students know exactly what skills they need to train for next.
- Motivation: Progressing through levels gives athletes tangible goals to work toward.
- Recognition: Every milestone is celebrated with certificates and coloured accessories (bracelets or laces), turning training into a visible achievement.
For young athletes, having a physical passport makes their development real, trackable, and deeply rewarding. For parents, it provides peace of mind by showing progress is happening under safe, structured supervision.
Raising Standards for Safety and Competition
The passport isn’t just about motivation, it’s also about safety and readiness. Athletes must reach a minimum level before they are allowed to compete in official WCT Academy™ competitions.
This ensures that participants understand the rules and respect safety standards. This also ensures that coaches can confidently enter students into events, knowing they are prepared and, in the end, competitions become safer, more enjoyable, and more professional for everyone involved.
This system also aligns WCT Academy™ competitions with the highest standards of athlete development, reducing injury risks and creating an environment where athletes can thrive.
A Powerful Tool for Coaches and Gyms
For coaches, the Competition Passport is a game-changer. It provides a formal evaluation framework that helps structure training sessions, guide long-term development, and measure progress consistently. No more guesswork, the passport makes it clear what skills and qualities each student needs to achieve before moving up.
For gyms and licensed partners, the benefits go even further:
- Higher retention: When students see their progress in writing and receive rewards along the way, they are more motivated to stay.
- Increased revenue: Bulk passport orders are available at preferential rates, and gyms can also sell level-specific bracelets or laces as part of the program.
- Community growth: A clear progression system strengthens trust with parents, increases athlete engagement, and makes clubs more attractive to newcomers.
Simply put, the passport is not just a training aid. It’s a business tool that helps gyms expand their member base while offering real value to students.
