High Performance Athlete Elective Improving sporting performance This elective offers our Year 7 students the opportunity to access the sport science knowledge, experience and the facilities that is on offer at Christian College. The focus of the teaching is to provide students with a strategic strength and conditioning program which aims to improve overall athletic ability and decrease the likelihood of injury within the Junior Athlete’s chosen sport. The program will be tailored to student’s age bracket, training age and practices that they can apply to develop within their sporting interest. Within this elective, students will experience practical sport performance based sessions/lessons with an underpinning of academic theory.
