About This Activity
Description
For Speed & Agility, each session will be one hour long and centered around speed, agility, & mobility. Each athlete will go through a variety of warmups, sprints, plyometrics, and lifts to help them develop and become a more holistic athlete. We will constantly be assessing and improving throughout each session as athlete’s will get instant feedback on things such as laser-timed sprints, jump heights, and other performance metrics. Speed work will be focused on improving acceleration, which is vital for field/court sport athletes, and gradually improving their transition to top speed. Plyometrics in vertical, horizontal, and lateral planes will help develop power and explosiveness that will transfer into agility drills. Sessions will be in a group, but individual feedback and tweaks can be made for each athlete depending on age/skill level. For strength training, each session will be one hour long and is designed for ages 13+. It is important to note that strength training is included with speed & agility classes as it will always play a role in building a more complete athlete. The difference between the strength training that is included with speed & agility compared to these sessions is primarily through increased volume and exercises. Depending on skill level, strength exercises may also become more advanced. Similarly, speed & plyometric exercises will also still be used during strength sessions, just to a lesser extent than speed & agility specific classes. Sessions are based around main movements that are designed to improve maximum or dynamic strength followed by accompanying accessory work based on the athlete’s needs.
