Troy Sports Camps Host Summer Speed Program for Local Young Athletes: Training System Considered One of the Best in the World

 

 

(TROY, MI) – Young athletes in the Troy area will receive a very special treat this summer - access to a Speed & Agility Camp that brings one of the most successful programs in the world to the local community.

 

The Speed Camp is being hosted by the Troy Community Center Youth Athletic Development Program and is offered: June 27 – July 1 from 9-10:30 am for ages 10-14 and July 11-15 from 9-10:30am for ages 15 and over.  Cost for either camp is $51 per person.

  

"Training for speed & agility is not what most young athletes, coaches and parents think it is," Phil Loomis, Head Coach of the Youth Athletic Development Program said. 

 

"We aren’t going to just run our athletes into the ground or have them change direction through a maze of cones.  We’re going to teach them how to be faster and how to be more agile.  This Speed Camp will elevate every participant’s game – it doesn’t matter what sport they play."

 

The speed and agility camp will improve speed and agility in all sports based on cutting edge techniques of sports science. Participants improve body mechanics, acceleration, speed, flexibility, change of direction, and jumping performance. Core strength and conditioning will be included.  Equipment required - Cleats or running shoes.  Location: Athens High School Football Field.
