Our Fast & Fit program has two primary goals - develop the 'team' culture early and develop the fundamentals of athleticism. The program aligns with the 'Learn to Train' phase of long term athletic development (seehttps://ltad.alpinecanada.org/stages/learn-to-train). Broadly speaking, the program is targeted at 8-12 year olds though we may accept younger or older kids if it is deemed appropriate. The main goals of the program are:
- Have fun, play games, connect with your team mates and coaches.
- Increase awareness of how the body works and how to train.
- Develop physical literacy - agility, balance, coordination, basic speed, basic strength - through games and fun drills.
- Develop flexibility
- Develop fundamental skills of throwing, kicking, running, hopping, balancing etc.
Fast & Fit 2023 runs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and includes both field sessions and group hikes. We offer 3 sessions per week so that if athletes are in other activities, they can still attend some of the sessions... but you are welcome to attend all of the sessions also!
Start time is 5:30pm until Thanksgiving and then 5pm for the rest of the season (due to shorter days). Fast & Fit runs Monday September 11th to Friday November 3.
The cost is $210 and includes a VSC Fast and Fit T-shirt
