DURABILITY
· ABILITY TO PERFORM WITH MINIMAL RISK OF INJURY
INCREASING DURABILITY THROUGH:
STRENGTH TRAINING:
· STRONGER CONNECTIVE TISSUSES WITH STABILIZED JOINTS DURING TRAUMATIC IMPACTS
· STRONGER, THICKER MUSCLE TISSUE WILL PROTECT THE BODY’S INTERNAL ORGANS
· INCREASED POWER AND MOBILITY IMPROVES ABILITY TO “FINISH STRONG” AND AVOID POTENTIAL INJURY
· STRONGER MUSCLES AID IN REHABILITATION FROM INJURY
CONDITIONING:
· DECERASE FATIGUE DURING COMPETITION
· FATIGUE HINDERS PROPER TECHNIQUE; IMPROPER TECHNIQUE LEADS TO INJURY
· FATIGUE AFFECTS THE ABILITY TO PHYSICALLY AVOID POTENTIAL INJURY DURING COMPETITION
FLEXIBILITY TRAINING
MORE FLEXIBLE CONNECTIVE TISSUES WILL RESIST SPRAINING, STRAINING, AND TEARING
VARIOUS METHODS OF FLEXIBILITY TRAINING ARE UTILIZED IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE DEVELOPMENT OF MAXIMAL FLEXIBILITY
STATIC FLEXIBILITY
INCREASEING THE ABILITY OF CONNECTIVE TISSUES TO LENGTHEN WITHOUT DAMAGE OR RECIPRICAL SHORTENING
CONVENTIONAL STRETCHING-ASSISTED STRETCHING-PNF STRETCHING
DYNAMIC FLEXIBILITY
ACTIVELY MOVING THE JOINTS THROUGH A FULL RANGE OF MOTION WITH INCREASED BLOOD FLOW TO JOINT AREA
WALKING STRETCHES-HURDLE STEP OVERS & DUCK UNDERS-PROPER STRENGTH TRAINING
SPORT-SPECIFIC FLEXIBILITY
SUBJECTING THE JOINTS AND TISSUES TO SPORT SPECIFIC ANGLES, RANGES, AND VELOCITIES
POSITION SPECIFIC DRILLS – TEAM DRILLS – PRACTICE SESSIONS
SAFETY DURING TRAINING
· NO MATTER WHAT THEIR BENEFITS, UNSAFE EXERCISES ARE NOT UTILIZED IN THE PROGRAM
· THE BENEFIT OF AN EXERCISE MUST OUTWEIGH ITS RISK IN ORDER TO BE UTILIZED IN THE PROGRAM
· ALL EXERCISES ARE PERFORMED IN A PROPER AND CONTROLLED MANNER
· ALL TRAINING IS SUPERVISED/IMPLEMENTED AND RECORDED BY QUALIFIED STAFF
