Youth Sports Performance and Athletic Development Training
More detailed program descriptions are below
Young Athletes (Ages 8 -12)
These years are critical in developing motor patterns for future athletic prowess. Our young athlete program focuses on developing the fundamental movement skills that enable kids to mature into high-performance athletes when they are ready. Because all athletes develop movement patterns differently, K2 employs a comprehensive evaluation process, based on science, that helps tailor a training program to each individual athlete.
Middle School Athletic Development
For most kids in this age bracket, developing and enhancing athletic skill is the primary goal. With that in mind, K2 customizes a program that addresses three critical areas of training: First: Maintain and advance the fundamental movement skills in their training. Second: address individual weakness. Third: Begin to develop explosive strength and power through resistance training.
High School Performance Training
This phase is critical to developing and maintaining an athlete’s general preparedness. Athletes’ bodies are very different at this age; some develop more athletic preparedness than others. Thus, these sessions are highly customized, assuring athletes that their individual weaknesses, preparedness and physiological parameters are targeted, enhancing performance. During this phase, K2 places significant emphasis on resistance training the posterior chain, as well as the running sessions. The goal: to target, develop and enhance all the biological processes: strength, endurance, oxidative capacity and anaerobic power, lactate threshold, etc.
Adult Athletes
Whether you’re a novice looking to start a routine, an elite athlete seeking peak strength and conditioning, in need of rehab after an injury, or a weight room veteran struggling to overcome a plateau, K2 provides one-on-one guidance, motivation and challenging workouts. We marry science with hard core training. Strength, flexibility, core stabilization training, proprioceptive training is all part of the package.
Team Training
Whether at your facility or ours, we generate effective off-season and in-season training programs for your team. Whether selecting a weight training protocol, our speed sessions or a combination of both, K2’s exercise specialists will periodize the programming accordingly to include proper rest intervals, volume of training, de-loading periods, flexibility sessions, exercise technique and speed training mechanics.
The Lacrosse Fundamental Skills Training Program is designed to help teach sound fundamental lacrosse techniques and proficiencies. We focus on skills such as:
Catching Throwing Cradling Shooting Dodging Defending Passing Switching hands Face off Scooping Speed and Agility Training
Learning these unique abilities takes time and practice to master, but mastering the fundamentals is very important. Bad habits are hard to break. Young players are often afraid to try new things like switching hands, but the failure to learn new lax skills can limit their growth. As they mature and move up in levels these shortcomings in their game can limit their effectiveness and ability to advance. Teaching a strong foundation in the fundamentals of lacrosse is something that they will take with them for as long as they play.
Lax Skills Training Program is run by John Alpizar, K2 strength and conditioning specialist, former Division 1 lacrosse player at Albany University, All-American High School Player, All American East Conference Player and currently an assistant coach with the Summit High School Varsity Lacrosse Team. John has over 7 years of experience coaching kids of all ages.
