Strength and speed training has become a vital part of on the field success in sport. Ravenscroft’s Strength and Conditioning program is focused on developing young athletes to be highly competitive in their sport. Under the guidance of a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, athletes train to increase endurance, strength, speed, and power as well as sport specific abilities.
The basis for the program is rooted in sport and exercise science as well as Olympic lifting and functional movement preparation. The goal is to increase sport performance and minimize the risk of sport related injuries. Athletes in grades 7 through 12 are introduced to our strength and conditioning program through planned team workouts during their sport season and are encouraged to participate in an off season program when not participating in a team sport.
