You CAN be faster! Coaches at Speed Camp will analyze and improve your sprinting technique to make you a faster, quicker athlete. With video assisted sprint analysis, you will be able to see exactly what elements of your running are slowing you down, and coaches will teach you drills and tactics to eliminate those problems and let you achieve your maximum speed.
Improve your time in the 40, beat your competitors to the ball, and move across the field faster, and impress your coach on the first day of practice with our 5 day speed training program.
Campers will learn drills and techniques to maximize their speed for ANY sport. Athletes will be taught how to improve strength, fitness, agility, and quickness through our dynamic and Spartan outdoor exercise curriculum. Coaches will combine traditional and old-fashioned exercises with modern exercise science to help athletes become the fastest they can be on the soccer field, football field, lacrosse field, basketball court, or track. This camp will help athletes improve speed for any sport.
Training will include uphill running, downhill running, medicine ball drills, and ladder running.
Coaches will teach athletes a series of 18 warm-up drills designed to improve running technique and increase speed.
Recreational activities that enhance speed such as Tug-of-War, dodgeball, and beach volleyball will be included in the training.
Every day will also include optional periods when campers can elect to swim, kayak, canoe, fish, play wiffle ball, or enjoy other summer activities by a lake in Maine.
Outside of the activity and coaching sessions the campers will participate in an old-fashioned summer camp experience with card games and board games and periods of the day free from cell phones, texting, and computers. Each evening will conclude with a campfire that features contests and readings that contribute to the intellectual and character growth of the athletes.
Campers will be closely supervised at night by counselors in the cabin and counselors on patrol between the girls' cabin area and the boys' cabin area and throughout the peninsula.
