About

The VRSC Strength & Performance Program is designed to develop overall athleticism through a combination of indoor gym training and on-field sessions. Over the course of 8 weeks, athletes will focus on building foundational strength, improving speed, and developing proper movement mechanics appropriate for their age and stage of development.
Strength and conditioning plays an important role in long-term athlete development & injury risk reduction. By improving strength, coordination, balance, and body control at a young age, athletes build the physical foundation needed to train and compete safely and effectively as the game becomes faster and more demanding. Developing these qualities early helps support performance on the field while also preparing players for the increased physical demands they will face as they progress to higher levels of competition. Groups will be split based on relative age groups.

Ages: U9 – U19

Open to all regardless of club affiliation.

“The Strength & Performance program has been tremendous for our kids. They’ve gained speed, power, and coordination while learning safe, age-appropriate training fundamentals. The coaches connect with athletes, build confidence, and create a positive environment that pushes them to grow. Our children have exceeded personal records and developed resilience on and off the field. We look forward to continuing in the program.”
