LaxAcademy Speed, Agility and Quickness Training (SAQ) Programs
Speed, Agility and Quickness Training is a system of progressive exercises and instruction aimed at developing fundamental motor ability to enhance the capability of athletes to be more skillful at faster speeds and with greater precision. Lax Academy offers two programs:
SAQ Training for 8th and 9th Grade Players This program combines SAQ training progressive exercises with pattern running training specific to lacrosse and Reactive Agility Training (RAT) which helps athletics develop quicker responses from visual cues. SAQ and Functional Conditioning Program for 5th, 6th 7th Grade Players Core stability is a focus from the start of this program. The better their stability and posture the less problems they will have, the more effective they will be and the harder they can train. Functional conditioning teaches the athlete to take in the whole spectrum of performance conditioning components: balance, flexibility, stability, acceleration, and deceleration. It asks the athlete to respond to many different functional components during one exercise. It trains the athlete to become more athletic, forcing the body to physically adapt and react like on the field of play. In this program we will incorporate all three of these techniques to maximize our young athlete’s abilities. Trainer and Coach: Mike Wright, ICYA Youth Fitness Specialist Level 1 |
