GRIZZLY STRENGTH
POWER & SPEED CAMP
"Increase strength, range of motion, movement patterning and motor control, body awareness, speed, agility, quickness, and power."
"Register For Wadsworth Grizzlies #1 Sports Conditioning Camp for Young Athletes!"
The Grizzly Strength, Power and Speed Camp is designed to introduce and create foundations of overall athleticism in a fun and positive environment. Fifth through eighth (5-8) grade athletes of various ability levels will be challenged to improve their functional base: balance, posture, stability, and flexibility. This foundation will result in improvements in transitional abilities:
Balance
Posture
Stability
Flexibility
strength, range of motion, movement patterning and motor control, body awareness, speed, agility, quickness and power.
Youth athletes will perform a broad range of activities that focus on improving general athletic ability using the “5 Pillars of Athletic Development.” Through these principles, we create a synergistic training response, where the combined effect of the training is greater than the sum of their separate effects.
The 5 Pillars of Athletic Development.
1. Work Capacity - The ability to maintain quality and intensity of movement during prolonged bouts of work.
2. Strength - The ability to exert force, to maintain strong athletic positions, and the ability to decelerate.
3. Power - Maximal force output without sacrificing speed and quality of movement
4. Reactivity - The ability to store and release energy, to change direction and the ability to absorb force and redirect it in another direction.
5. Speed - The result of adequately developing the previous fitness qualities.
This 2-phase camp (8 weeks total) will take the time to develop each quality in your athlete. Your patience will be rewarded with fast, powerful, and resilient athletes. Furthermore, special exercises designed to strengthen specific movements and muscles will be used to help combat injuries or help improve past injuries.
Students in grades 5 - 8 will be introduced to more demanding exercises and activities in a progressive manner, further challenging the athletes to new heights in performance. The Camp is offered to Girls and Boys currently in 5th -8th grade in all sports with ELITE level coaching.
