Youth Competition Team Class

Elite Training for Dedicated Youth Athletes Ages 5–13 in St. Mary’s County

The Lineage BJJ® Youth Competition Team is an invite-only program for motivated students ages 5–13 who have demonstrated focus, discipline, and a strong work ethic in our regular kids programs.

This team is not a requirement—and not every child should be on it.
It exists for students who want more, can handle added responsibility, and are ready for structured competition training.

What Sets the Youth Competition Team Apart

This program is intentionally selective and development-focused.

  • Invitation Only
    Students are selected by coaches based on attitude, consistency, maturity, and technical readiness—not medals alone.

  • Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu First
    Competition training is built on the same foundation—control, awareness, and intelligent decision-making.

  • Gi and No-Gi Experience
    Students train in both formats, building adaptability while maintaining strong fundamentals.

  • Structured Competition Preparation
    Training includes positional strategy, rules awareness, pacing, and safe, age-appropriate sparring.

  • Character Before Podiums
    Discipline, respect, teamwork, and accountability come first. Competition is a tool—not the goal.

Training Access & Locations

Competition team members may train at both academies:

  • Lineage BJJ® – California, MD

  • Calvert MMA® – Sunderland, MD

Training is available up to 7 days per week, depending on age, schedule, and coach approval.

Proven Development, Responsible Results

Our youth athletes consistently perform at a high level in competition.

More importantly, they develop:

  • Confidence under pressure

  • Emotional control in competition

  • Respect for teammates, opponents, and coaches

  • Resilience that carries into school and life

Competition success is a byproduct of preparation, not the objective.

Who This Program Is For

This program is for students who:

  • Train consistently in Little Sharks or Junior Grapplers

  • Can follow instruction and manage emotions

  • Demonstrate respect and coachability

  • Want to challenge themselves beyond regular classes

This program is not required and is never pushed.

A Safe, Clean, Professional Training Environment

Lineage BJJ® maintains high standards across all youth programs.

  • Mats and training areas are cleaned daily

  • Child-safe, all-natural cleaning products are used

  • Experienced coaches

  • Parent observation areas available
