Develop Your Team
Acceleration has helped thousands of athletes move faster, jump higher and get stronger through our strength and conditioning training and injury treatment methods.
By following Acceleration’s proven methods and with modifications it to suit individual teams it is possible to develop teams into efficient, highly effective contenders.
Competitive Advantage
Specific sports fitness increases athletes speed, power, strength, endurance, recovery time and decreases injury rates.
This will help to give your team a competitive advantage over other teams by creating players who are essentially stronger and can out pace their opponents.
Testing (3 times a year)
This testing measures things such as flexibility, power, agility, and speed. This testing protocol occurs up to 3 times per year. Acceleration has developed a database software which will e-mail the participant and his parents/guardian with the login details to view the results so the athlete and their family can see the improvements made in those areas. Included in the results will be a power rating (Score out of 700 points), which will give an indication of each person’s overall athleticism rating.
Dynamic Warm up
These warm ups prepare the body and neurological system for the work load the athlete is about to perform. Our research has proven this method of warming up to be highly effective.
Speed and Agility
All sports require you to move quickly. Acceleration programs always incorporate drills to get the athletes moving their feet as quickly as possible and in a way that replicates the movements they need in their sport(s). We use ladders, cones, sleds, etc throughout the year to ensure that athletes do not slow down as they grow in height and weight.
Conditioning
Acceleration can help with the conditioning of your athletes as well. We have found that conditioning is great to add as part of the training at practice. We will work with you to ensure the team isn’t over trained.
Strength
Strength comes from resistance training. Using free weight and body weight exercises, our performance coaches will write, monitor and manage the athletes through their strength program. Each program is design to create a strong stable body that is more resistant to injury and more powerful and quick in competition. Core strength training in groups is great because it makes workouts enjoyable. Power training (Jumping) is fun and educational for the athletes. You would be surprised by how many people do not know how to jump and land properly. Strength training for athletes can have an amazing effect on sports performance and injury prevention. The sessions are held before and after school and run for 75 minutes for the senior level athletes (begin using free weights) and 45 minutes for the juniors.
Flexibility
We use various stretching routines and trigger point therapy to produce better results and to add to the education of the girls and boys. Everyone will be taught the routines and expected to supplement their flexibility with trigger pointing at home.
Other Features/Benefits
Online Programs
Everyone from the team coach, manager, the parents (if applicable) and the athletes receive a username and password to have access to the training program. Each exercise is a link to the coaching cues and video demonstration.
Online Attendance Records
The attendance of each athlete is noted and recorded online. This allows the ability to find out if the athlete are attending the sessions.
Online Testing Results Record Board
The results from the 3 testing sessions will be entered and displayed on the internet. The coaches can view each person’s results. Each individual can only see their own results and an anonymous report that shows how their results compare to other athletes at their school. All results are put into our large database of every athlete we’ve ever tested so an athlete can see how they compare with every Acceleration athlete we’ve tested since 2000.
