The goal of the program is to develop and enhance the athlete's fitness and conditioning through sessions that improve speed, quickness, balance, agility, form, and sport specific technique.

Participants learn conditioning strategies for future training and continued development throughout their athletic sessions.

Athletes are grouped by age and guided each week by coaches through a variety of drills that focus on the program’s objectives. All drills are designed to maximize the ability and potential of each age group, from the youngest through a challenging program for high school athletes.
