• ADVANCED ATHLETIC PHYSICAL TRAINING/WEIGHTS

    Emphasis in this yearlong class is on instructional technique and skill development in progressive resistance strength training.  In this class, students will meet five (5) days a week and will receive two (2) PE credits for the class.  Training will focus on core strength, Olympic lifts, plyometric movements, functional movement/strength, speed/agility and overall total body fitness and health--not only for athletic purposes, but also for a healthy lifestyle.  The primary goals of the class are to train the body to help with injury prevention/rehabilitation and individual strength and speed development.  The five (5) day week approach will allow the training program to have a more traditional approach of upper/lower body split routines along with the added benefit of plyometric activity, balance/stability, functional movement and core/neck strength each day.  Enrollment for this course will be limited, and students must complete an application to gain instructor approval. If students do not meet the instructors' daily expectations for effort, attitude, and attendance they may be removed from this course.
