Group Speed and Conditioning Training Groups

More explosive speed is necessary to get to the ball first with separation from your opponent, sustain fewer injuries, or obtain greater endurance to finish the game stronger than your opposition.

Improve your team’s ability to run faster, first step acceleration, rate of recovery from games and knowledge of game preparation through ASSA’s 8 and 12 week Speed and Agility programs.

More often than not the lack of fitness that your team is displaying is because of the way they are running and nothing to do with 'not enough' running in pre-season.

Energy leaks through poor technique can rob the fittest players of all of their hard work and mobility issues (especially in the hips) can be the cause of little or no force being applied to the ground.

Cost : $308 for the 10 week Term (weekly sessions).
