Junior Program

We realize that each person’s training needs are different.

Our Junior program has been designed to meet the needs of middle school aged kids, with personalized instruction as the main objective. At this age the body is in a critical stage of development, and this program focuses on improving balance, coordination, strength, and flexibility.  We also try to instill proper running, sprinting and footwork techniques with this program. 

At this age division there is some controversy about whether weight training is appropriate.  With proper instruction and programming, strength training, in its various forms, is very effective in reducing the risk of injury and increasing performance.

Strength & Conditioning Program

This program has been developed for improving the strength and power aspect of performance enhancement.  The exercises used in this program place an emphasis on jumping mechanics (plyometrics), advanced lifting techniques, core development, and injury prevention.  Athletes will learn advanced warm-up and flexibility techniques and any preventative injury techniques needed for their particular sport or activity.  Each program is individualized based upon age, training history, injury history, gender, physical and mental maturity.

Speed & Agility Program

This program is very specific to working on the movement skills and techniques involved in all phases of sprinting, change of direction and reaction drills. This program utilizes over-ground speed training, high-speed treadmill training, resisted/assisted drills and linear/multidirectional plyometrics that are appropriate for the athlete. We specialize in technical development and progression for each phase of training. This program is great for athletes needing energy system development and conditioning.

Elite Program

This is the most comprehensive program we offer. The program is all-encompassing and enables our staff to train the athlete at their highest level. This program includes all of our key training areas: strength training, plyometrics, speed training, flexibility and injury prevention.

Each athlete will progress through the program based on their individual rate of improvement and training status. By watching athletes progress through all phases of training, our staff is able to focus on those areas that will most enhance each athlete’s potential.
