High School Strength & Conditioning
High School Strength & Conditioning Program
(ages 14-18)
FIRST SESSION is Tuesday, August 10th
Designed and implemented by our Head Strength & Conditioning Coach Pat Burgess, ACE's is a baseball specific training program designed to increase speed, quickness, power, and aerobic capacity in high school athletes while simultaneously improving their baseball fundamentals. As the program progresses we target specific areas of need during the different times of the year. Completion of this program will ensure that your athlete is in peak physical condition and fundamentally prepared to compete in the high school season.
Off-season II: (August-October) The training emphasis for the Off-Season II portion will be to generate more power & explosiveness in each athlete. We will work primarily in the weight room to increase overall strength using Olympic style lifts (Squats, Bench, Power Cleans, Deadlifts, etc).
We will be training at an extremely high intensity to ensure maximum strength gains. Our workouts are based on the HIIT (high intensity interval training) principal. Using optimal work/rest ratios we will take advantage of each athletes full potential.
PROGRESS TRACKING: The athletes are evaluated through each portion of the program using a battery of measurements which are listed below. Athletes will also keep individual exercise journals in order to track their personal progression through the program.
- 40 yard dash
- Bench
- Squat
- Vertical jump
- Shuttle run
- Core strength
- 100 series
- "T" drill
ADDITIONAL TRAINING COMPONENTS: Athletes will also work on speed training designed to develop an explosive first step, functional strength training that incorporates baseball specific movements, and an agility program which will allow the athlete to move with little or no wasted movement.
