This 8-week, 2-day-per-week speed program is designed to develop fundamental acceleration mechanics, elastic qualities, and basic conditioning for field sport athletes. The training emphasizes low-dose, high-quality sprint exposures, simple technical drills, and progressive volumes appropriate for beginners.
Each session runs 30 to 60 minutes and requires no equipment, making it ideal for teams, large groups, or athletes training independently. The program focuses on building the essentials: posture, rhythm, ground contact awareness, coordination, and repeatability. Movements are intentionally simple. Marches, skips, falling starts, tempo runs, and controlled accelerations. All allowing athletes to learn safely and build confidence without overload.
The goal of this program is to give athletes a strong technical foundation so they can run faster with less effort, reduce injury risk, and prepare for more advanced speed and conditioning work in the future. By the end of eight weeks, athletes should feel smoother, quicker, more explosive, and better conditioned for the demands of lacrosse or any field-based sport.
