Speed Clinic

Co-Ed Grades K - 8 ABOUT THE CLINIC Clinic attendees will learn what it takes to become faster, stronger, more agile, and more powerful! This clinic is designed for any attendee looking to be physically active, and is geared towards all sporting backgrounds. Speed and agility are KEY to becoming a better overall athlete, no matter the sport - give the Speed Clinic a try to see how you can reach peak performance, whether it is simply getting exercise, or competing at the highest levels. Speed is an essential ingredient for all sports.  Contrary to popular myths, speed CAN be developed through the improvement of running mechanics, balance and coordination and strength.  This speed clinic will emphasize acceleration, power and top end speed through speed drills, plyometrics, and timed sprint sessions to provide feedback and benchmarks for future improvement.  Coaches for this clinic have experience developing speed among athletes who now compete at the collegiate level in a variety of sports.  Attendees to this clinic should have a good pair of running shoes, water/sports drink, a protein snack and sunscreen.  While not required, track spikes would be helpful.
