**HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TOLD YOU NEED TO WORK ON YOUR VERTICAL? **

ARE YOU BEING UNDERECRUITED BECAUSE YOUR TOUCH HEIGHT ISN'T HIGH ENOUGH?

Advanced Training Methods
Our program is divided into 4 different training phases 1. Foundational Phase - Focus is on tendon health & prepping the athlete for later phases 2. Eccentric Phase - Focus is on eccentric strength. This is where we train your breaks 3. Explosive Phase- Focus is on power development. We build the engine here 4. Elastic- Focus is on improving elastic ability. This is where we become "bouncy"

The Flight School Difference
We developed Flight School after years of experience in the industry and after experiencing many other vertical jump programs. Flight School takes off where other programs fall short by developing the athlete holistically. We've designed a program that helps you build a solid foundation by not only addressing jump height, but by addressing mobility, speed and jump efficiency.
