S.P.A.R.Q. -SPEED, POWER, AGILITY, REACTION AND QUICKNESS
- An elective option that all students can sign up for
- This includes all 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade boys and girls in each and every semester.
- This class is not just for student athletes but anyone who wants to be challenged to take their fitness to the next level.
- Students will get out of this class what they put in
- Also they will learn a lot about different types of workouts, how to use many different types of equipment and how to work with many different types of people.
- The greatest reward each student will learn, is without a doubt, CONFIDENCE. Students do not leave the same person, they become much more mentally strong and aware of their true potential.
- Safety, rest and recovery is the focal point of each lesson.
- We plan around all the schools sporting events, clubs and different classes.
- Students will have SPARQ 2-3 times each week
- They will need to be ready on the gym floor by 7:00 a.m.
- They will do a dynamic stretch led by one of the instructors.
- They will then workout from roughly 7:15-8:15.
- Each workout consists of a weight room workout, circuit etc as well as a floor workout such as a plyometric session, running technique, agility exercises, short sprints or possibly even hill climbing or kettle bell tossing in the sand outside.
- After the workout students will have between 25-30 minutes to shower and eat breakfast.
- SPARQ uses a wide range of equipment such as:
- kettle bells, barbells, dumbbells, pull up bars, parachutes, bungee chords, push and pull sleds, medicine balls, slam balls, wall balls, jump ropes, etc.
- We also use stairs in the school, the many hills outside, the track west of our school and many other areas that fit our needs.
- Every student will be introduced to Olympic clean techniques and advance to different levels in this and other lifts.
