DESCRIPTION:

Speed Biomechanics/Acceleration

Get faster and quicker this Summer! The speed camp school begins with a focused, intense week of Speed Biomechanics and Acceleration. Your athlete will learn the proper mechanics of body control and synchronizing the upper and lower body to develop faster speed. The athletes will learn how to explode in the accelerating phase of running and use their power to travel quicker in the first few steps. Athletes will be tested and retested to show improvements, specifically in short sprints.

Speed Maximum Velocity

The speed camp school continues with a second week of focus on the maximum velocity of running July 2 - 6. The athletes will learn how to move their bodies faster through a longer distance of sprinting. This will be a highly intense, compacted week of 2 1/2 hour sessions Monday through Friday (except Wednesday, 4th of July.) Athletes will learn to improve their longer sprints and having the endurance to make consecutive long sprints. Athletes will be tested and retested to show their improvements.

Speed Multi-Directional/Quickness Reaction

The speed camp school ends with a third week of focus on multi-directional speed. Teaching the athletes how to change direction and increase their speed through the direction. Injury prevention will be a highlight here as most soft tissue injuries occur when an athlete changes direction either by force of another athlete or on their own. Athletes will be tested and retested with an emphasis in change of direction sprints, agility, and reaction time.
