FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH & POWER FOR SPORT
(Grades 6th – 8th and 9th – 12th)

• Improve core strength, stabilization, balance and flexibility
• Progressions of Olympic Lifts will be taught and coached along with a complete weight training program that is functional for each athlete's sport
• Energy System Development (ESD-Conditioning) is a focus of every training session

Why this training is important: Training athletic movements, rather than just individual muscles, improves athletic performance and reduces the likelihood of injury.

FUNCTIONAL SPEED FOR SPORT
(Grades 6th – 8th and 9th – 12th)

• Start/Acceleration techniques to improve the first 8 to 10 steps of straight-ahead speed
• Techniques for deceleration, change of direction, & reacceleration movements in multiple angles
• Energy System Development (ESD- Conditioning) is a focus of every training session

Why this training is important: Incorporating front-side mechanic drills will improve maximum velocity, the phase of running associated with the brief amount of time the athlete is at top speed.
