Summer Cardinal Strength and Conditioning

 

STUDENTS ENTERING GRADES 7-12 (Fall 2024)

The Cardinal Strength and Conditioning program is centered around building the “Total Athlete”.  The program provides instruction of age-appropriate skills through a weight training program and conditioning drills designed to enhance your athletic performance.  Athletes can qualify for incentives based on attendance, participation, and performance.

SCHEDULE: The program will run Monday - Thursday each week from June 5th through August 1st.  There will be no lifting sessions from June 29th - July 5th, due to the MSHSL no contact period.

MAX OUT WEEK: July 29th - August 1st.  You must max out in our program to qualify for the Cardinal Strength Clubs. All scores and records will be available for your sport coaches, and you will have the opportunity to qualify for our Cardinal Strength Clubs!

SESSIONS: Session times are listed by gender, grade level, and previous sport participation level to encourage team participation and to help with training progression.  If there is a scheduling conflict you can contact Coach Oehlers. Athletes can sign up for any session, but are expected to attend the session they sign up for. Registrations will be taken on a first-come first-served basis. Our numbers are limited to 50 athletes in one session to provide for adequate training opportunities, ensure safety, and increase coaching engagement with athletes.
