The purpose of the Kaveman Youth Strength Camp is to expose upcoming students and athletes to the Gold Standard way of training at Kuna High School. All participants will be taken through an age appropriate training based on the Long Term Athletic Development Model. They will go through the FUNdamentals of training and Leadership Skill Building exercises that will closely follow the structure of Kuna High Strength & Conditioning.
FUNdamentals of Training:
In this 4 week camp we will go through Stage Two and Stage Three of the Long Term Athletic Development Model. During Stage Two (FUNdamentals One) we will begin teaching agility, balance, coordination and speed (ABCs) while instilling the importance of daily play and physical activity. In Stage Three (FUNdamentals Two) we will continue to develop the ABCs and sports skills while integrating physical, mental and cognitive components within a well structured program that develops physical literacy. During both stages, the weight room portion will introduce the participants to age appropriate training that emphasizes safety procedures, proper exercise techniques and exposure to the Gold Standard culture.
Leadership Skill Building:
Throughout the 4 week camp, Leadership Skill Building will be integrated in all portions of our training. The components that participants will be exposed to are; Teamwork, Communication, Self Disciple, Strategic Development and Organizational Skills. These essential components of Leadership will be developed through game-like situations, collaborative training sessions, conversations and how we conduct ourselves in the weight room.
