Strength Training with DAY ONE Sports Performance

With the main focus of teaching these athletes how to move and control their bodies and start getting used to resistance training. Research shows athletes of this age group can start to improve their athletic ability and starting lowering injury risk through proper training and movement.

Parents shouldn't expect their athlete in this group to lifting barbells and dumbbells every day as our older athletes will be doing. Our focus will be to move, compete, and learn how to get to that goal. Starting with bands, medballs, and body weight exercises with the goal of progressing by the end of summer into resistance training. These sessions will also have a lot more guided competition and what we refer to as "Performance Play”.

This style of training allows athletes to compete and play using movements and concept that will carry over to athletic fields later down the road.

Day One is the same group that has provided summer strength & conditioning in Annandale for grades 7 - 12 since 2017. The owner of Day One is Justin Rost, and he is also the head strength & conditioning coach at St. Ben’s/St. John’s. Day One is top-notch, research-based, and they do a great job of teaching the fundamentals while also mixing in lots of guided challenges and competitions.

*No workouts on July 6, 7, or 9
