Injury Prevention.
Athletic Performance.

 

Injury prevention is and should be our biggest priority.  It doesn’t matter how great an athlete is if they are not even able to play.  Getting the athletes stronger is the best prevention of injuries. 

 For improving athletic performance, strength training is the primary key.  In any sport, the stronger athlete is usually the better athlete.  Physical training can and should start as young as 12 and follow a developmental progression through adolescents.

What we focus on.

  • Younger athletes (11-14) are focused on learning proper movement mechanics (running, jumping, etc.) and general balance, stability, and strength. 

  • Athletes (13-16) are introduced to a higher focus on strength training and endurance. 

  • After a few years of development and training, athletes (15-18) are introduced to higher intense training through general and sport specific strength and power training (power cleans, depths jumps, etc.) 

The entire goal of the multi-year training is to maintain the athletes physical and mental health at high levels of performance and to prepare the athlete for the physical and mental demands of a potential collegiate career and/or life after sports.
