Preseason Training Camp for Rising 6th-10th graders

Back for a 2nd summer after a strong and successful first season! A focused summer training program designed to help athletes build a strong aerobic base, develop smart habits and enter the fall season confident and prepared.  We believe that great seasons are built before the first official practice.  Our goal is to give athletes structure, coaching, and consistency they need to improve for the long term.
