Starting Monday, December 7th, we will be offering free fitness training to youths 10-18 years of age.

The training occurs Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday at 4:00pm.  Each session is one hour long and includes warm-up, skills, workout and stretching.

This will be a general physical preparedness program for young athletes who are interested in being prepared for their next sporting season, regardless of the sport.  Training is modeled on CrossFit methods, focusing on all ten aspects of fitness:

• Cardiovascular and respiratory endurance
• Stamina
• Strength
• Flexibility
• Power
• Speed
• Balance
• Agility
• Coordination
• Accuracy

Generally speaking, the training will focus on these areas:

• Nutrition
• Metabolic Conditioning ("cardio")
• Gymnastics (body weight exercises)
• Weightlifting and Throwing (weighted movements including the Olympic lifts and powerlifting)

This is a progressive program that requires commitment in order to be effective.  Participants will start from "ground zero" and move from fundamental, functional movements up to complex, multi-joint exercises based on their competancies.

Due to the progressive nature of the training, new participants must begin their training cycle on a Monday.  Each week, a trainer will take new participants through the basics until they are ready to move into the main group.

Any participant that cannot commit to a 4 day per week training program should not begin until their schedule allows full participation.

Tardiness, truancy, and laziness will not be tolerated.  This is not play time and should be taken seriously, just as any sport-specific, team-oriented program.

Policies:

• All participants must sign a waiver along with their parent or guardian.
• Clean, indoor-only shoes.  (barefoot or socked feet OK)
• Form-fitting (not overly loose), stretchable clothing...no nylon / windbreaker-type materials.
• Bring bottled drinking water and sweat towel.
