Middle School Athletic Performance Program

Coach
Matthew Bruninghaus

This 12 week program, 3 sessions per week, will get any middle schooler moving more efficiently, more explosively, and more dynamically.

Body awareness can be tough when going through growth spurts. Coaches talk about it all the time, we see athletes that get tall fast or put weight on quickly and it can be hard for a young athlete determined to perform at the level they expect themselves too, when "they haven't molded into their new body". This program will help a young athlete to gain that proprioception they are missing to make the plays on the field they want to make.
