Learn from the Varsity Strength & Conditioning Coaches and varsity athletes. Participants will learn about their body (muscles, training, recovery, diet) and how to design a program that will assist their development. 

Education from Professionals

The program will be led by the Gryphons Strength & Conditioning Coaches. This will bring expert knowledge to the participants and ensure that they are cared for and their experience is one that will take them to new heights.  Information will be relevant and transferable for all participants.

Support & Encouragement

Participants will be encouraged to "push their limits" in a supportive atmosphere. Everyone will have the opportunity to set their own goals and then strive to surpass these goals. The program will allow everyone to use the equipment that is used for the Varsity Athletes and even have the opportunity to connect with them too.

Proper Techniques

As you participate in each of the exercises and activities, you will have full guidance from the coaches. They will be present at every step of the process to ensure you have the proper technique so you can reach your fullest capabilities in athletics.

Stretching and Recovery

Participants will work together as they learn to properly stretch. This will help them in their training to see the value of stretching and warming up before other training activities. As a group they will work through these programs together and learn what they are stretching and why they are doing these stretches.

Step By Step

Our program is designed to give participants the knowledge behind "why and how" we do exercises and training. They will learn the importance of proper techniques before going and using equipment. This foundation will lead them to new heights and understanding of how their body works and how proper training assists.

Assortment of Equipment

As the program takes place in the Guelph Gryphons Performance Academy, participants will have access to all of the equipment that is used in the development of our varsity athletes. This is a wonderful opportunity for the athletes to learn about different equipment and how it can be used to assist in training.  Also by having access to this, participants will see the connection between equipment, athletic development and purposes.

Alternative Training

Participants will have the opportunity to participate in other games or activities that individuals would not generally see as training. This creates teamwork and community within the group so they are supportive of one another and their goals throughout the week. Also this experience allows participants to see how fun and training can go together!
