Developmental Program

How Great Athletes Are Made 

SPEED.                                                    POWER.                                                     AGILITY.

Developmental programs review and then reinforce motor patterns for the purpose of movement efficiency and performance. We address these needs by teaching complex movement patterns (speed, strength, energy system development and flexibility). This is accomplished by performing linear acceleration and maximum velocity drills, multidirectional quickness drills, and strength training. We focus on these skills as developmental athletes have established a majority of their physical movement patterns and now need refinement of these patterns for optimal performance enhancement.
 
Each Velocity athlete/prospect will be evaluated and placed in one of the following
categories based on coach recommendations:

 

Sports Performance:

Sports Performance classes are designed to teach athleticism to students using athletic skills that
focus on improving coordination, strength, running mechanics, and overall body awareness. The
athletes will also develop strength using proper calisthenics techniques.

 

Peak Performance:

Peak Performance classes are designed to prepare athletes for the next level. The program
progressively improves total athletic performance by maximizing speed, change of direction
quickness, strength and power. Athletes will be introduced to strength training developed to
reduce the likelihood of injury.

 

Elite Performance:

Elite Performance classes are designed for athletes that test in the 95th percentile in a nationally
developed testing system. During this intense 90 minute session athletes focus on speed,
acceleration, lateral movement mechanics, core strength, flexibility, injury prevention ,and
explosive strength via Olympic lifting.

 

 Expect from VSP training:

  • Improved Quick Burst Acceleration Speed  
  • Improved “Maximum Velocity” Top Speed
  • Improved Agility, Balance and Flexibility
  • Improved “Dynamic” Power. Increased Power in all of your athletic movements: Linear, Lateral, Change of Direction and Vertical Leap
  • Improved Overall Body Strength
  • Reduction in the likelihood of Acute and Overuse Injuries

BENEFITS TO THE COACH: 

·        Better athleticism allows you to teach more complex skills and tactics

·        Fewer injuries to your team throughout the season

·        Puts the science of sports performance to work

VSP training focuses on:
  • Speed, Agility and Coordination
    Proper technique for permanent, positive changes in acceleration, deceleration, change of direction and top running speed 
  • Strength and Power
    Enhance the amount of force produced through increased muscle recruitment
    Optimal performance through development of propulsive power 
  • Flexibility and Mobility
    Unrestricted range of motion, which supports proper mechanics, allows full expression of force production capacity and decreases the likelihood of injury 
  • Energy System Development
    Optimal energy system adaptation through sport specific conditioning 
  • Regeneration and Recovery
    Total body recovery through properly designed and cycled programs 
  • Injury Prevention
    Exercises that address potential problems before injuries occur
