Course Descriptions
The Foundational Course is aimed at improving young athlete’s coordination and basic movement capabilities. During this critical period of human development our young athletes will learn valuable skills that will benefit them throughout the rest of their lives. Thomas Jefferson once said, “Exercise and recreation are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary, because health is worth more than learning.” As kids are exposed to a variety of exercises, their movement qualities will expand and lay the foundation for them to build from in the future. These skills will be developed through FUN, game-based activities that introduce teamwork and cooperation. In this atmosphere, kids grow to love training through competitive and outcome-based drills. The ultimate aim of the Foundational Course is to teach the athlete basic FUNctional movements that will be necessary as they continue through their journey, while allowing them to explore, play, and foster a love for hard work!
The Developmental Course is geared towards our middle school aged athletes who are starting to grow their love for sports and training. We will focus on developing essential movement patterns in the weight room, with an emphasis on building strength through bodyweight movements. This allows the athletes to continue developing the skills learned during the Foundational Course and apply them in a more structured weight room setting. The goal is to provide the athletes with competency in the weight room and improve overall core strength. As athletes continue to mature, they will have developed proper technique that will allow them to maximize the benefits from strength training later in their career. Through our movement training, athletes will acquire movement skills that transfer to their sport. Proper running, jumping, landing, and decelerating mechanics will be emphasized. Competing in an enthusiastic team environment and continuing to cultivate character through hard work will always be highlighted.
The Advanced Course is intended for younger male high school athletes along with our high school female athletes. These athletes will have demonstrated adequate strength and proper technique that has been carried over through their off-season or from the Developmental Course. During this course, we will begin to add more external load and start using more barbell lifts. An emphasis on technique will continue to take priority as athletes learn to produce more force while continually working to reduce the likelihood of injury from sports. Max strength will not be an emphasis but rather the focus on quality movements through full ranges of motion. Athletes will continue to build and improve movement efficiency that will carry over to their unique sport. Acceleration, deceleration, change of direction, jumping, and landing will all be points of emphasis.
The High Intensity Course is recommended for varsity male and female high school athletes. Athletes will be expected to work at a high level and demand more from themselves than they previously thought possible. As the name implies, this course is our highest level and the athletes will be constantly tested and challenged in an intense but positive environment. Technique and quality movement skills will remain a priority, while an emphasis on strength and power development increases. Athletes will be monitored and evaluated throughout the program to ensure quality movement continues as the volume of work performed increases. Fundamental movement skills will always be emphasized throughout our programs, with the High Intensity course progressively working towards skills that are needed to meet the demands of their sport.
