Introduction to Strength Training - Holiday Camp
This camp will focus on introducing young sportspeople to the techniques and types of exercises typically found within the strength training programs of elite athletes. In a supportive and fun environment, participants will learn the purpose and benefit of each exercise, how to safely perform them and ultimately how to get the most out of their own training.
Open to those aged 13 and over and of relevance and applicable to all sporting backgrounds, the program has been designed by our expert team who will be on hand throughout, to ensure each child is supported, engaged, included and most of all enjoying their experience.
Registration is $300 per person (or $250 if booked before December 12th) and includes daily lunch and refreshments. Each day of the camp will run from 10am – 2pm and our goal is to significantly increase each childs understanding of strength training and ability to use it to enhance their own sporting performance.
Here is a brief overview of what we are planning to progress your child through:
