Program
Ensuring that athletes are introduced to all aspects of track and field while giving them the basic technique and skills needed to advance. Weight Training: No lifting of weights but a strong focus on core exercises and resistance training. Main focus of the training group is not only to ensure that athletes have the foundation and the skills to continue training in the sport, but also ensure that they are having fun while doing it. "Our group puts the fun in Fundamentals"
