SAQ Training Week 1 Day 1

SAQ Training is basic week one and will consist of jumprope, mobility, and buildups drills. The buildups are designed to help you get back into running at full speed. There are no cutting or agility drills for now, but as summer progresses, look for an increase in movement specific drills designed to improve speed on the court. Remember, the buildups are designed to gradually increase speed for 20 yards followed by an increase in speed to 100% for 20 yards.

On Day 3 we will go back to lower body training. This program allows for 2 days per week of lower body training. I do not take into account any competitions, so if you have a match on the weekend, skip this day of training. Two big changes on this day are the move to barbell RDL and Swiss ball leg curls. The swiss ball leg curl is not pictured, but you all should remember the drill from the school year. Be sure that there is a straight line form your shoulders to knee at the top of the drill.

Day two will focus primarily on the upper body. Again, on this day I will not assign load for you to use because I still want you to feel as though you are recovering after the season.

On day one the focus is mainly on the lower body. We will be starting off slow and with lighter weight and gradually increase in volume over the first three weeks. I am not as interested in assigning weight for you to use at this time. Load at your discretion, but be sure you are able to complete all sets and move through the full range of motion. Because you are just ending the season, if an exercise hurts, don't do it. Leave a comment or email for an alternative.

You should be familiar with all of the drills but let me know if you have any questions.

May Calender

MAY 2007 Summer Training Calender
Begin the month with light fitness work to recover from the long season. I'm leaving this wide open as some of you need more time than others to get back into full training. If you have any nagging injuries, this month is a perfect time to let them heal. We begin SAQ or Speed, Quickness, Agility Training as well as strength training in the last week of the month. Look for future posts that will detail weekly training in greater detail.
