Team Manitoba Regional Strength & Conditioning: Jan – May 2018

Winnipeg Training

Volleyball Manitoba will once again offer a periodized strength and conditioning program for interested athletes beginning in January 2018. Led by Sport Manitoba performance staff, this program will help athletes build strength, speed and power throughout the club season and peak for the 2018 Volleyball Canada Nationals in May.

Athletes are expected to train twice per week – Monday at 7pm and Thursday at 6pm – at the Sport Manitoba Performance Center 145 Pacific Avenue. The first 10 week block will begin on Monday, January 15^th and conclude on Thursday, March 22^nd. Following spring break, sessions will resume on Thursday, April 5^th and conclude Thursday, May 10^th.

Training twice weekly will allow for athletes to see maximum gains from the program while still being able to train on court at a high level. Performance center staff will work with each athlete to make sure that workouts are adjusted to account for varying on court volumes throughout the club season. Athletes can expect training to include proper lifting technique, speed, strength, vertical jumps, shoulder health, physical testing, among other topics.

It is strongly recommended that you discuss this training schedule with your club coach prior to committing to the program to ensure that you can attend both weekly sessions for the majority of the program. Occasional absences due to illness or out of town travel are acceptable however, if an athlete is not able to regularly meet the commitment required, they will be removed from the program for their own health and safety.

Program Cost – $295 plus GST.
