Middle/Upper School Athletic Training

Athletic Development Training—Essential for All Athletes

Athletes need to be developed. Expecting them to “just be ready” or to get in shape during season is preparing them to fail.

Skill is essential, but the speed and strength at which those skills are executed determines the level of play. Summer Athletic Development Training gives athletes the best opportunity to learn, develop and master safe, technically sound training practices. Athletes will make tremendous improvements in athleticism and fitness while gaining confidence in a fun, safe environment with peers.
