Weight Lifting Program

To all BAHHA Bantam and Midget Parents and Players.

Outlined below is information on my weight lifting program that runs from May 4th through September 26th 2009.

I tried to price and schedule my program to compliment and not conflict with BAHHA's bantam and midget summer hockey schedule. The time frame from May 4th to Sept 26th may seem like a long time frame but I am very serious about this program and I expect my participants to be committed as well. It will consist of 5, four week sessions with two options regarding the nights participants lift. Each lifter works out two nights per week, either Mondays and Thursdays from 7:00 PM to 9:15 PM or Tuesdays and Fridays from 7 PM to 9:15 PM. I will also have an open session on Saturday mornings from 10 AM to 12:15 PM for those that miss a regular night or want extra lifting. Your child (and you too if you like) work out using a buddy system for two hours and 15 minutes each night in a fast paced 12 station rotation using machines and free weights. Each set of buddies rotates stations every 10 minutes and they chart their progress at each station each night. They get personalized training as a twosome and not as a group as a whole. The only time they have contact with the other lifters is when they quickly pass between stations and at the beginning and ending of the night. This is not an open, come if you want to, work when ever or where ever you want to program. It is a mandatory supervised program with each four week session having goals with the ultimate goal of being stronger and faster at the start of the 09/10 hockey season. If they follow instructions and work to their maximum potential I assure you each participant will be bigger and stronger by the start of the hockey season. After the first session these guys will start to see a slight difference in their physiques and they will want to come to ensure even bigger results. Of that I am sure and I can't tell you how this will improve the quality of& nbsp;any athlete that participates. I will make arrangements for summer vacations by scheduling make up sessions. Depending on how many participants I get and how many will want to lift during the day, once school is out I may be able to schedule some day time options depending on how I can supervise them. That option will depend entirely on how many lifters I get.
