Speed Training:
Our focus during our daily speed training will be to improve speed, agility, and quickness.  We apply age appropriate development strategies identified for athletes and apply these new skills in our sports program over the course of the summer. 
 
Speed training improves speed through greater balance, core stability, strength, and fluidity.  Exercises, drills, and games will be used to train the basics of speed on a daily basis at Ultimate Summer.
 
The importance of Speed Training in the context of athletic growth is that it helps the child develop as a strong, healthy, coordinated individual.  This strong, healthy, coordinated individual will have greater success in sports, at play, and in other lifetime pursuits.  If the child decides to challenge him/herself later as an elite athlete, this speed training provides a strong base for all future sports endeavours.
 
Team ALCAN will divide up into age groups for this part of the program.
 
 
Strength Training
Our focus during daily strength training will be to introduce the child to strength training with the emphasis on proper technique and safety. 
Strength training (not weightlifting) is beneficial for all ages and aims to:

• improve strength and endurance
• protect muscles and joints from injury
• improve performance in sports
• overall health benefits including: strong bones, boosted metabolism, improved immune system and boost in self esteem

Strength training for this age group utilizes the child's own body weight, along with medicine balls and resistance bands to promote balanced development and growth.  We will also describe the anatomy and physiology of the human body and give suggestions for continued strength training at home.
 
 We aim to build a foundation for strength training for the child to progress through a lifetime of good health and achievement.
 
Team ALCAN will divide up into age groups for this part of the program.
 
 
SELECTED PRIMARY SPORT
Our focus during Selected Primary Sport is to emphasize skill development and training in the sport(s) selected by the child during registration.   This will be a small group activity with focus on instruction in correct form and repetitions for individual skills.  We encourage athletes to cross over to other sports from week to week to provide a well-rounded Ultimate Summer experience.
 
TEAM ALCAN will divide up into sport-specific groups for this part of the program and includes a hockey option during which hockey players will practice at the Patty Center Ice Arena on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
