At AIM 2027, the best moments are not limited to the stage. Some happen on the field, around a game table or while encouraging a friend to try something new. Across three days at Jordan Ranch, men and boys have opportunities to compete, step outside their comfort zones and build real brotherhood.
Taking place March 11–13, 2027, in Schulenburg, Texas, IntenseMen brings faith, leadership and shared experiences together. Whether you arrive with your son, a mentor, a church group or a team of friends, the activities give you another way to connect throughout the weekend.
Here is your guide to the sports, competitions and outdoor adventures currently listed for AIM 2027, including age divisions, adventure hours and how to sign up once you arrive.
Team sports: show up for your crew
Nothing brings a group together quite like stepping onto the field or court. AIM 2027 includes football, basketball, soccer, softball and tug-of-war, creating opportunities for friendly competition, teamwork and encouragement.
Football, basketball, soccer and tug-of-war have divisions for ages 9–11, 12–15 and 16+. Softball is listed for ages 16 and up.
You do not need to be the strongest or most experienced player to contribute. Showing up, communicating and supporting your teammates are all part of what makes the competition memorable.
The goal is bigger than the scoreboard: compete together, encourage each other and build brotherhood that lasts.
Skill games: bring your focus
Not every competition requires a sprint or a tackle. AIM 2027 also features games that reward patience, concentration, timing and strategy. These are great opportunities to compete with friends, meet new people and enjoy the experience at your own pace.
Cornhole is open to ages 9+ with father-and-son teams and individual teams listed. Horseshoes is an individual competition for ages 9+. Dominoes, chess and ping pong are also listed for ages 9 and older.

How do you sign up for competitions?
One important detail: your AIM 2027 event registration is separate from competition sign-up. Having an event ticket does not automatically enroll you in a tournament or team activity.
- Register for AIM 2027 so you can enter the event at Jordan Ranch.
- Visit the stage area to sign up for individual or team competitions.
- For team sports, choose one representative to register the entire team.
- Check the activity requirements, age division and any applicable waiver before participating.
For fathers, mentors and group leaders, planning which activities your group would like to try can make the weekend easier. It also creates opportunities to encourage young men to participate, support one another and make new connections.
