Beginning in October and continuing into Spring, CO Elevation FC's youth Strength Performance Program will provide consistent, age-appropriate training beyond the field. Sessions combine movement preparation, strength, jumping, landing, sprint mechanics and conditioning. Winter provides a valuable window to build physical qualities before Spring competition. Every exercise and load scales to age, experience and the team calendar. Team Blocks 10 Minute Warm Up 45 Minute Workout 5 Minute Transition Why Does This Benefit Players?
