OUR MISSION

 

At any level of competition, athletes must possess the right physical tools in order to compete at the next level. Athletes who have the desire and dedication to excel will greatly benefit from a systematic performance training program. At ARUNDEL HIGH SCHOOL, our program not only challenges athletes physically, but also builds a foundation for success at each level of development.

This well-rounded program for high school athletes implements a safe, competitive, fun, and educational training prescription to allow the serious athlete to improve his/her overall athletic performance. For long-term athletic development, this program's strategy incorporates the following components:

·         Strength

·         Speed

·         Flexibility

·         Conditioning

·         Nutrition

·         Regeneration

Our environment promotes camaraderie and spirited competition, but more importantly focuses on the athletes' overall physical development and performance improvement. Our athletes will train in an atmosphere that fosters and develops responsibility, cooperation and respect for themselves and others.
