Our Featured Exhibitor

There's going to be athletes, coaches, and spectators. But there is another important group of people that attend Crossroads, the exhibitors! Who will be in the booths this year? Here's a taste:

Crossover Symmetry

Crossover Symmetry

Crossover Symmetry is a revolutionary rotator cuff and scapular strengthening system that incorporates the latest research pertaining to functional strengthening and upper body plyometrics.  The Crossover System integrates this patent-pending technology into a highly effective and efficient workout routine to insure that you are equipped, prepared, and primed for the day to day stresses that your shoulder and elbow will endure throughout the season.  It is currently being used by 10 Major League Baseball Organizations to train their multi-million dollar athletes before and during the season.  Check out our full line of sports performance equipment including the Crossover Symmetry Rotator Cuff and Scapular Strengthening System at www.gocrossover.com


Crossroads Fun Fact

Leap Year? Who decided that? A leap year (or intercalary year) is a year containing one or more extra days (or, in case of lunisolar calendars, an extra month) in order to keep the calendar year synchronised with the astronomical or seasonal year. For example, February would have 29 days in a leap year instead of the usual 28. Seasons and astronomical events do not repeat at an exact number of full days, so a calendar which had the same number of days in each year would over time drift with respect to the event it was supposed to track. By occasionally inserting (or intercalating) an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year which is not a leap year is called a common year.

The Revised Julian calendar adds an extra day to February in years divisible by four, except for years divisible by 100 that do not leave a remainder of 200 or 600 when divided by 900.

This rule gives an average year length of 365.242222… days. This is a very good approximation to the mean tropical year, but because the vernal equinox year is slightly longer, the Revised Julian calendar does not do as good a job as the Gregorian calendar of keeping the vernal equinox on or close to 21 March.
