INTRO TO TRAINING
Our Intro to Weight Training class is designed for the athlete who may be new to weight training with little to no experience in the gym. The outcome of this class is to educate and teach each athlete how to safely execute foundational strength exercises with proper technique that they will encounter in future training and environments, as well as plyometrics and agility drills.
Each class will be limited in participation and will be under the supervision of our Director of Strength and Conditioning or one of our experienced Assistant Strength Coaches in a safe and controlled environment with a class ratio of 1:7 athlete to coach.
An emphasis on teaching and guiding participants is the main focus, though we strive to find a healthy balance of education and hard work.
In this class your athlete will learn:
- Proper mechanics and technique
- Exercise sequence and structure
- How to perform and advance certain exercises
- When to scale back or dial up training
- How to effectively warm up
By going through the program each athlete and parent will have the confidence in participating in future training sessions in a safe manner.
Best suited for kids 10-12 just starting off with training.

Our focus for the class is to enhance these qualities by providing a structured training plan that will allow for the player to develop long-term by maximizing the amount of training opportunities presented to the player.
