Introduction to Strength & Conditioning Program for Boys & Girls in Grades 5-7 (6 Week Program)

A Safe and Effective Introduction to the Weight Room

Do you have a 5th, 6th, or 7th grader who is eager to start their journey in strength and conditioning? Our program offers a safe, structured, and fun introduction to the weight room, designed to set young athletes up for long-term success. We believe that the wider the base of the pyramid, the greater the peak, and our program is tailored to build that foundation.

Through this six-week program, your child will not only gain an outstanding learning experience but also develop proper speed and strength skills at an early age, giving them a significant advantage in sports and physical activities.

Program Highlights:

Speed Development:

• Developing proper speed mechanics between the ages of 10 and 12 pays major dividends later on.

• These skills are not inherent but learned through structured practice.

• We focus on teaching proper motor skills to ensure athletes benefit now and in the future.

Mobility:

• Our performance mobility system incorporates stretching, flexibility, and strength.

• Athletes will learn to gain control through a full range of motion.

• Includes structured warm-ups and cool-downs to promote safety and recovery.

First Step Quickness:

• Athletes will practice transitioning from a stop to start position rapidly, a critical skill in sports.

• We teach how to optimize acceleration by applying force effectively into the ground.

• Various drills and starting positions are used to challenge and develop these skills.

General Strength:

• Confidence in the weight room starts with mastering proper exercise techniques.

• Focus on bodyweight exercises like squats, pushups, rowing variations, and core training.

• Emphasis on performing exercises through a full range of motion for maximum benefit.

Game Speed:

• Athletes will learn to create space on offense and close space on defense.

• Structured drills progress through three distinct blocks:

  • Block 1 (Weeks 1 & 2): Programmed Drills

  • Block 2 (Weeks 3 & 4): Reactive Drills

  • Block 3 (Weeks 5 & 6): Reactive/Competitive Drills
