Conditioning Program Information

The purpose of this conditioning program is to ensure that our athletes are getting the proper off-season conditioning that will keep them in shape while not under the direction of sport-specific coaches. The program is designed to teach the student athletes specific workouts that they can do themselves over the summer to stay in shape. It does require commitment and hard work, as well as dedication to continue workouts even after the conclusion of the formal program.

Weightlifting will consist of high repetition with moderate weight- focusing on overall strength, while reducing the risk of injury. For many girls, this will be their first experience with a weight program, so we do not want to over due things. Conditioning days will consist of the combination of distance workouts, with speed drills and focus on plyometrics (jumping drills) as well. Again, this program is a jumping off point. The athletes will need to keep up the workout regimen that they learn in this program into the summer in order to keep at peak cardiovascular performance.
