Varsity Strength and Conditioning
Varsity Strength & Conditioning is a course designed to help our student athletes reach their sporting potential. After undergoing a movement assessment, all athletes are prescribed specific exercises which aim to correct any movement inefficiencies that may have been discovered. Athletes are then provided individual periodized training protocols which take into account personal goals, needs, sport specific requirements and seasons of play. Particular attention is paid to mobility and functional strength through full ranges of motion. The ultimate objective is to provide our student athletes the valuable foundation that will serve as a launch pad toward further sporting excellence as they move forward in their personal athletic careers.
