Speed and Conditioning Program, 2013
This is an intensive 7-week summer program for Middle and High School athletes ages 10 and older.
The program includes 2 weeks of prep followed by
5 weeks of onsite workouts.
Frequently Asked Questions -- and Answers
Question -- Can someone miss time in the program and still participate?
Answer -- Yes. The program has the flexibility and ability to implement conditioning to those who aren't able to make the entire 5 weeks onsite. When you expect to miss a session (or a week), please tell Coach Braz so that you receive a conditioning model to stay on track with the program's fitness progression.
Question -- Will the program continue to offer conditioning during the non-supervised days?
Answer -- Absolutely. The program will continue to offer a weekly aerobic strength outline for Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturday. Sunday will be off.
For athletes who are serious and motivated, the GTD conditioning journey is 6 days a week!!!
Question -- Who do I pay? If I miss time, is the program pro-rated? Are refunds available?
Answer -- You may pay online at this link, with a check made out to GTD, or in cash. The fee is $120.
The program is not pro-rated. Participants who miss sessions or weeks receive conditioning models to stay on pace with the program.
Refunds are not available.
Note -- For some athletes, if not many, captain's practices may be on Tuesday and Thursday. If this is the case, the captain's practices will take precedence over the GTD workout for those days.
Register by June 21 to receive the 2-week pre-camp program that the athlete can execute at home. The goal of the pre-camp program is to build muscle and aerobic-cardio conditioning.
Athletes age 10 and older in Middle or High School are eligible to participate.
Objectives
The goal of the program is to develop and enhance the athlete’s fitness and conditioning for a successful fall season.
Through these sessions, athletes will improve their speed, quickness, balance, agility, form, and sport specific technique.
Conditioning is attained by the appropriate level of work at pace and over distance.
Athletes will learn conditioning strategies for future training and continued development throughout their athletic sessions.
