Sport Readiness (CS4L – Learn to Train and higher)
By nature athletes are skilled movers and are able to compensate for physical limitations in order to successfully execute sports skills. These compensations lead to increased fatigue and soreness, decreased sport performance, and eventually injury. The goal of this module is to provide coaches with simple tools to help identify and address physical limitations in athletes in order to maximize the benefits of their conditioning programs and decrease risk of injury.
Introduction to Strength Training (CS4L - Learn to Train)
Assist coaches with implementing, and monitoring a basic fundamental strength training program using predominantly body weight exercises and that is developmentally appropriate for younger athletes. Coaches will develop a skill set that will assist their athletes in building efficient movement patterns that will assist in their long term athletic development. This session is for coaches working with athletes in the Learn to Train stage of the Long Term Athlete Development Model.
Introduction to Weight Training (CS4L - Train to Train)
Assist coaches with implementing, and monitoring a basic fundamental free weight program. Coaches will develop a skill set that will assist their athletes in building efficient movement patterns that will assist in their long term athletic development. This session is for coaches working with athletes in the Train to Train stage of the Long Term Athlete Development Model.
Introduction to Speed and Agility (CS4L – Learn to Train)
Many sports have become more demanding with many multi-directional movements at quick speeds. Reactions to opponents have become more important whether it is an opposing player or how quickly your athlete can foresee and initiate movement towards the ‘next play’- sometimes it’s responding to an athlete coming from a peripheral view (speed skating) and for some sports it is about ‘reading’ the equipment sooner (a birdie in badminton). This workshop will teach coaches some important skills and drills that can be incorporated into practices to develop quicker and more productive athletes.
Athlete Field Testing (CS4L – Learn to Train and higher)
Assessing and monitoring athlete’s fitness can be an important task for many coaches. PacificSport Northern BC has a field testing kit containing easy to use field tests for Learn to Train through to Train to Compete athletes. This workshop provides practical, hands-on training in testing protocols, procedures and proper use of testing equipment. Coaches will leave the workshop with a field testing manual and the ability to rent the field testing kit at a nominal fee.
