A quick schedule reminder: M,T,W,Th: 6:30 am, 8:30 am, 5pm F: 6:30am, 8:30 am, 10 am Bussing will be provided for the 8:30 session in accordance with summer school resources. Be advised that busses do not return until 12pm for drop-off. TO REGISTER FOR BUSSING: please complete the same signup form as described above, annotate your transportation need, and add your email where requested. Athletes are encouraged to pick a session time and stay consistent throughout the week and the summer, but they MAY switch session times if needed based on their schedule. Athletes are allowed to attend ONE session per day! Each session is designed to last between 75-90 minutes. Friday sessions may be 5-10 minutes shorter. The program is designed specifically for athletes to attend as many days per week as possible. Each week will address the full spectrum of athletic development with the following flow: Monday (High intensity): Sprint training, plyometrics/jumps, squatting and lower body strength development Tuesday (Medium intensity): Coach led mobility session for hips, shoulders, and lower back, plus core, arms, and conditioning Wednesday (High Intensity): Sprints and lateral explosiveness, power development, upper body strength development Thursday (Medium intensity): Coach led mobility session for hips and core, plus shoulder training and conditioning Friday (High Intensity): Agility and velocity-based sprints, FULL body strength development, tendon health Each session will be organized with an adequate number of coaches so that every athlete has access to eyes-on coaching. Exercise and intensity-based tiers are built in to cater to different skill levels in the weight room, allowing younger athletes to confidently train and build a strong foundation without feeling overwhelmed. TESTING will be spread throughout Week 2 of summer HEAT. We will be testing BASELINE speed, agility, and strength numbers on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of week 2. Look for a follow up announcement this summer about our end of summer Retest, where athletes can set personal bests and see their percentage growth numbers! We’re looking forward to seeing Holland athletes take advantage of this program and see significant growth throughout the summer!
